*Zendaya had no idea that First Lady Michelle Obama thought so highly of her.
FLOTUS joined YouTube star Lilly Singh in a video to promote the Reach Higher and Better Make Room movements, and was asked to participate in a word association game where she had to say whatever came to mind when shown pictures of different women.
The first up was Zendaya.
“Beautiful, talented, kind, giving, caring, role model,” said Mrs. Obama about the 20-year-old Disney star.
Singh responded saying “I’m going to tweet this to you, Zendaya.”
Hey @Zendaya, @FLOTUS had some amazing things to say about you! And I agree! Full video: https://t.co/6oj9PfqooG See you soon! #GirlLove ❤️ pic.twitter.com/46T0rOkDNl

After receiving the tweet, Zendaya responded on her Instagram, writing, “As I type this from the floor, as I have just passed out…thank you to my incredible, powerful, radiant First Lady. I hope to make you very proud.”
