Visitors to Chicago’s Lollapalooza music festival got a surprise “celebrity” sighting over the weekend when Malia Obama showed up for Sunday’s Chance the Rapper show, flanked by two plainclothes guards and three friends.
Malia Obama kicked a (presumably) American citizen at Lollapalooza, and not only did the Secret Service fail to act, the kicked victim was happy about it.
Bridget Truskey was minding her own business at the music festival, when the president’s daughter kicked her. “It was awesome,” Truskey tweeted, apparently dangerously unable to see past the stars in her eyes:
I got (accidentally) kicked by Malia Obama today at Lollapalooza. No lie. Malia. Obama. It was awesome. #lollapalooza
Other fans of Malia Obama showed their excitement on social media.

Malia Obama was walking south down Columbus, pretty as can be with a yellow v neck romper and two friends and some guards #lolla
