Beyonce Knowles offered her services to President Elect Barack Obama, indicating that when he is officially inaugurated as the first Black President of the United States she will be there with bells on… if he so chooses her to be.
“I’m there. I can’t wait. I feel like all of us, we’re ready to do whatever we have to do. Whatever they want – if they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I’m there, and I’m ready,” she said, according to the Associated Press.
“I’ve never been so patriotic!” she laughed, wearing a blue suit and tie in honor of Obama, along with red, white and blue stiletto heels. “I’m just beyond excited.”
The singer was originally scheduled to be in Japan on Election Night to promote her upcoming album I Am…Sasha Fierce, but decided to postpone.
“I said, ‘What am I doing? I’m completely making a bad decision. I have to go home, I’m gonna kill myself if I’m not home in America,'” she said. “I knew I needed to be here.”Beyonce also spoke on what the election meant to her. “My nephew, who is 4, when we say, ‘You can do whatever, you can be whatever,’ it’s not cliche. You have no doubt that it’s not true,” she said.
“I fell asleep crying and smiling at the same time,” she laughed. “I woke up with mascara running and a smile on my face!”
