Singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, 82, became a U.S. citizen and, according to Fox News, remains a Canadian citizen too.
Joni Mitchell has become a U.S. citizen while keeping her Canadian citizenship, Fox News reports. The Canada-born singer-songwriter is 82.
The New York Times reports she announced the news on Tuesday on social media, posting a video and a photo of herself at the ceremony. The Guardian says the post went up on her Instagram account. The photo shows her next to an American flag. The caption read: "A journey that began 62 years ago."
The Guardian reports she first moved to the U.S. in the mid-1960s. It also reports that citizenship means she can now vote in U.S. elections, something she had complained she could not do.
