Time Magazine has revealed it's annual list of the 100 Most Influential people in the world. Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, BTS, Ozuna, Taylor Swift, Khalid and many more were among the notable musicians who made the list. In addition, several musicians wrote blurbs about the entrants. Beyonce wrote the sweetest blurb about former first lady, Michelle Obama who is currently on a European tour in support of her bestselling memoir, "Becoming". The former first lady was listed as an Icon.
The Time 100 list also includes Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson who received a testimonial written by Gal Gadot, and Sandra Oh by Shonda Rhimes.

The singer — who famously sang during the first Obama inauguration celebration — makes her admiration for the former FLOTUS plain in her essay.
“Loving Michelle Obama wasn’t much of a choice,” she writes. “It was something that came naturally, because of how she carried herself. Because she resembled us and was moving in spaces where, as black Americans, we weren’t exactly meant to be, she seemed so powerful.”
She goes on to praise Obama’s “courage” and “discipline” in speaking her mind, and cites her charity work with students. She also alludes to the negative attacks targeting Obama.
“She has continued to open herself up, even if it meant being criticized,” Beyoncé writes. “She has continued to be a portrait of grace. I am so grateful that my daughters and my son live in a world where Michelle Obama shines as a beacon of hope who inspires all of us to do better and to be better,” the mother of three concludes.
That is so sweet. We join fans around the globe in celebrating the Beyoncé-and-Michelle love.
