Pop star Beyonce Knowles joined Instagram on Election Day, using her first photo upload to make a political statement. "Texans FOR OBAMA," reads the shirt she wears in the Instagram snap from @BADDIEBEY.

This comes on the heels of her posting a handwritten letter to Obama on her Tumblr (see below).

Beyonce sparingly uses social media, and when she does, it's typically to make announcements.

In October, she posted a photo on her Tumblr blog to confirm she'll be performing during the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show on Feb. 3, 2013. And in February, she and husband Jay-Z used another Tumblr blog to release the first pictures of of their newborn, Blue Ivy Carter.
