Nancy Sinatra has welcomed Michelle Obama to Twitter.
The First Lady signed up to an account on January 12 as part of her husband Barack's 2012 re-election campaign.
Singer Nancy Sinatra, herself a prolific Twitter user, said: "Did you know that our First Lady is on Twitter? Isn't that cool?@MichelleObama Let's welcome her!!"
When a follower noted that Michelle only follows six accounts, Sinatra added: "Give @MichelleObama a chance to get used to us! We're pretty scary at first."
Most posts on Michelle's feed are written by campaign staff. Those by the First Lady herself are signed "mo".
The First Lady now has 469,782 followers on the site, compared to 30,826 who follow Sinatra.
Her husband is now followed by almost 12.1 million Twitter users.
