Camila Cabello ‘honoured’ to perform at White House

Singer, Camila Cabello, says she feels honoured to have performed at the White House.

The 24-year-old pop star, who shot to fame as part of Fifth Harmony, has taken to social media to share her sense of pride after filming In Performance at the White House: Spirit of the Season.

Alongside a video clip of her performance in Washington, Camila wrote on Twitter: “such an incredible honor to perform again at the White House. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday with your loved ones [smiling and heart emojis] @potus @flotus @pbs (sic)”

The star-studded TV special also features performances from Norah Jones and the Jonas Brothers, among others. And Jill Biden – the First Lady of the US – has taken to Twitter to thank the artistes for their efforts.

She wrote: “Thank you @PBS for celebrating the holidays with us and thank you to @AndreaBocelli, @Camila_Cabello, @PTXofficial, @theebillyporter, @NorahJones, @jonasbrothers, @NorthwellHealth Nurse Choir and @VoicesofService for bringing the magic of the season to the @WhiteHouse ! (sic)”

Earlier this month, Camila revealed that she wanted to pay tribute to her “heritage” during her White House performance.

The pop singer, who performed a mariachi rendition of I’ll Be Home for Christmas, said: “My mom is a Cuban immigrant, my dad emigrated to the United States from Mexico and recently also became a citizen. The fact that I’m able to pay tribute to my heritage and represent Latinos and also have my dad be sharing this moment with me it’s kind of, like, a crazy moment. The fact that we’re an immigrant family and we’re at the White House is really special and really cool.”
