Malia Obama skipped historic DNC to party at Lollapalooza with friends

Last week was a historic occasion in American politics as the Democratic National Convention saw the first nomination of a female candidate for president.

However, it looks like Malia Obama wanted a little break from the world of politics as she took some time to be a regular teenager at a music festival.

Barack Obama’s eldest daughter was seen dancing with friends at the Chicago music festival, Lollapalooza over the weekend.

Festival goers were quick to spot the president’s daughter and her secret service detail as they posted snaps of the 18-year-old on social media.

This is comes just days after Malia’s mother, Michelle took to the DNC stage to deliver, what has since been called, one of the most powerful speeches at the event.

This year, Malia graduated from high school and is now taking a year out before heading to college.

And what a way to kick-it-off than making memories at a festival with your best friends.
