Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Ellen DeGeneres that Beyonce’s "Lemonade" was “great” on her daily talk show this week.
Clinton was being interviewed by Ellen when she was asked by Taylor Swift what she though of Beyonce’s album. “I have seen parts of it, and I do like it. It’s great,” she said. She also discussed possible picks for Vice President during the appearance and played a game inspired by the decision called “Would You Rather: VP Edition.” The game made Clinton choose between two celebrities for the VP ticket and one round featured Beyonce and Academy Award winner Leonardo DiCaprio. She picked the singer and joked about her latest album. “I really believe in making lemonade out of lemons,” she said. Other choices included Drake, Chewbacca Mom, Bradley Cooper and Steve Harvey. Clinton stuck with Beyonce until she was given Michele Obama as a pick, and she went with the first lady. “She’d be great,” said Clinton of Mrs. Obama. “Talk about somebody well prepared.”
Clinton said she admires the singer and compared herself to her at a town hall appearance in Iowa back in December. "I want to be as good a president as Beyonce is a performer. You see her on TV, it’s impressive you see her in person, you’re just stunned,” she said. “Thinking like, ‘How does she do that? Really. I mean, she’s singing, she’s up and she’s down. She’s just amazing.”
Clinton is hot on the campaign trail and is gearing up to face Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump in November. She recently spoke out against the businessman during a speech in California. “I will continue to stand up and speak out against what he says — the kinds of positions and policies he’s putting forward, the way he treats people, how divisive he is,” she said at a Buena Park appearance in California on Wednesday.
