While onstage, Michelle addressed the historic nature of her husband President Barack Obama's legacy, both as a successful politician and as the nation's first black president. "The story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves," she said. "And I watched my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women, playing with their dogs on the White House lawn."

One of Clarkson's Twitter followers took issue with that part of FLOTUS' speech, writing: "I'm not sure I liked the part where she said the White House was built by slaves."

Not missing a beat, the 34-year-old singer responded, "Pretty certain the slaves that built it didn't like it either."
