The ladies have entered the chat, and they’re doing the Boots on the Ground dance with confidence and rhythm. From Tina Knowles to Michelle Obama and even former Vice President Kamala Harris, these women of influence are literally putting their boots on the ground.

What started as a viral line dance set to Ken the Man’s fiery track “Boots” has grown into a full-on movement, with everyone from everyday women to icons embracing the rhythm and the message. In a new wave of videos circulating on Instagram, the energy is undeniable.

In one clip, Tina Knowles joins Michelle Obama on stage during her memoir multi-city press tour. It looks like her daughter Beyoncé isn’t the only superstar with moves in the family. The fashion matriarch donned her boots and got in step with women of all ages, showing off her pride in her Southern roots and her community. Wearing wide smiles and exuding grace, their synchronized movements were more than just a moment of fun. They represented unity, sisterhood, and the enduring power of joy.

Then, in another now-viral video, Kamala Harris was spotted grooving after her interview. When asked if she knew the viral dance, she said no and asked the interviewer if he’d be willing to teach her. Next thing you know, the two are hitting the dance floor with synchronized steps.

What makes “Boots on the Ground” more than just a trending dance is how it’s become a celebration of Blackness, resilience, and pride. The choreography, featuring swatting fans, bold stomps, hip swings, and confident struts, perfectly complements the song’s lyrics and infectious beat. For women like Tina, Michelle, and Kamala — who have each broken barriers in their own way — the dance feels like a visual affirmation: “We’re still here, we’re still thriving, and we still know how to have fun.”

The presence of these influential women embracing the dance reminds us that they are still human. Just like us. It shows that leadership and legacy don’t have to be separate from joy, culture, or community connection. In fact, that’s where the magic often lies.

So yes — the ladies are definitely showing out. And as long as the boots are stomping and the beat is bumping, this moment isn’t going anywhere.

We not letting go of this dance. Get your cowboy boots ready!
