Joni Mitchell became a US citizen at age 82, the Canadian singer-songwriter announced on Instagram on Tuesday. Mitchell posted footage of her citizenship ceremony alongside a photo of herself next to an American flag, captioning it "A journey that began 62 years ago." She first moved to the United States in the mid-1960s but remained a Canadian citizen until now. Mitchell stated previously that she had wanted to vote in US elections but was unable to do so without citizenship. The Guardian reported the development.
