Sen. Kamala Harris listens to Migos. Probably.

At any rate, "T-Shirt" is on her new Spotify playlist, released Tuesday in honor of African-American Music Appreciation Month.

The public playlist, called "#AAMAM - All Time Favorites," features tracks by Chance the Rapper, Erykah Badu, Beyoncé, and Jidenna, as well as iconic throwbacks from Ray Charles, Billie Holiday, and Aretha Franklin. And more! It's 45 songs long, so no need to assemble a summer playlist this year -- Sen. Harris has done the work for you.

"Our nation has an indelible soundtrack, songs that have become anthems recognized across the world," Harris said in a statement to Blavity. "Much of that soundtrack is inspired and informed by the vast contributions of African-American artists in jazz, R&B, rap, hip-hop, and beyond."

So get listening, and get learning -- check out the entire playlist below.
