"Taylor Swift may be in the news," said Mrs. Obama from the stage, "for the award-winning songs and multiplatinum records, but every step of the way she has always made it a point to give back. She's supported children's charities, she's worked to combat bullying, and given over tens of thousands of books to schools and libraries all around the country."

But despite Taylor's own superstardom, the pop singer was starstruck when she took the stage with Michelle. "I've always wanted to meet you! This is amazing. I'm so honored to get... to be receiving this award from the First Lady of the United States -- I'm freaking out."
