Barack Obama shed tears as Aretha Franklin serenaded the audience at the Kennedy Center Honors.
She had POTUS all in his feelings.
Understandably so, since Aretha is the goddess of song.
The 73-year-old singer stood in her fur coat glory, belting Natural Woman from her soul.
In the video you can catch Carole King getting her entire life and Viola Davis receiving the holy spirit.
Some of the other performances included Janelle Monae and Miranda Lambert. The Obamas sat alongside honorees George Lucas, Rita Moreno and Cicely Tyson.
The show was taped on December 6th, but aired last night on CBS.
