The Popdust Files: barack obama, beyonce, Election 2012, jay-z, katy perry, lady gaga, mitt romney

Well, it’s all over. Barack Obama has been re-elected President of the United States, after securing 18 electoral votes from the state of Ohio to put him over the magic 270 on Tuesday night. It was fitting that the battleground state proved to be the pathway to victory, as Obama spent time with Jay-Z and Bruce Springsteen in Columbus just over 24 hours earlier. Hanging with Hov and The Boss is cool and all, but following the win, the POTUS made sure to promptly give his millions of followers a proper shout-out.

This happened because of you. Thank you.

And as expected, some of his most ardent celebrity supporters took that tweet as a cue to celebrate accordingly. As Obama has won the right to a second term, Popdust presents a roundup of how some of his biggest fans—and even some opponents—may have reacted to the news, in GIFs.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

The Boss might be happy, but Chris Christie is likely conflicted.

JAY-Z

That’s the anthem, get your damn hands up.

BEYONCE

All her letter-writing and Tumblr-posting paid off.

KATY PERRY

After weeks of squeezing into tight dresses, KatyCat can finally exhale. No Barry, you’re a firework.

ADAM LAMBERT

The Glam One only reserves such a shimmy for very special politicos.

NICKI MINAJ 

You didn’t really think that Nicki would Mitt Romney, did you? Oh you did? That’s so cute.

And so, disappointed with the outcome, Romney’s famous fans had nowhere to go with their stink-eye and mascara tears.

KID ROCK

Yes, win, lose or draw, you’re still an American badass who was born free, Kid. But how many times do we have to listen to you sing the song at karaoke?

MEAT LOAF

Uh-oh! Back to the freestyle drawing board!

STACEY DASH

Turning her personal Twitter account into a Romney-Ryan shrine? Yep, she’s totally buggin’.
