The brief clip, probably posted by her team, shows a tremendous bit of action. Williams and Day walk briskly, probably carried along by an entourage of professionals. The person behind the lens is heard cheering with exhortations and excitement: “The Superstar is walking” on several occasions. There is a vibe in the air suggesting solemnity, as if it were some official occasion, or maybe an important moment altogether. A little mystery was only fuelled by the accompanying caption of Williams, “……more on this later!! 🖤🧶” leaving the fans hanging, still waiting for a formal statement. The tags to the United Nations and the UN Foundation in the post suggest that the project may have some philanthropic or advocacy work associated with it.
The comment section soon got filled with excitement, acclaim, and praise for the duo of artists. Another fan-observer looked to appear behind the lens; Yvette Noelschure commented with enthusiasm: “I only see superstars walking so I am calling it as I see it!! 😂” and then tagged Andra Day, Neil Scibelli, and Michelle Williams, proclaiming her love for all. This optimistic and supportive comment sets the tone for the entire thread and only buttresses the celebratory ambiance of the video.
Fashion went up for discussion. Many zoomed in on Williams’ perfect style. Cindy_1453 posted: “You all look beautiful! That suit is fabulous Michelle. If you don’t wear it again, I’ll take it. 😂😂” This is the fact her commanding pantsuit akimbo became a hot topic; several imitated this sentiment by claiming that she “eats without even trying.” Her look was reminiscent of a stunning photoshoot.
Such a union is big news beyond that, with Williams, a seasoned, hard-earned platinum Broadway and TV celeb, and Day, a Grammy-winning force, truly marking a grand and historic occasion for the fans. One fan, iamgodsbeloveed, sums up the mass reaction with: “Omg this is a legendary iconic and historic moment for ME!! Two of my all time most fav vocalist in the world; together!!” Thusly, the comment encapsulates what is the very high expectation of what the teaser truly stands for regarding a track or performance project.
Adding another layer of insider commentary came from mariama.nyc. She stated,”Humbled and honored to have shared a stage with these icons!!! So grateful to perform at this reception for the UN delegates… I share some history with each ! My experience with @rockin1000 as a young Andra Day in their 2017 track video… was my first professional track experience… including my time with @onceislandbway . I was on the tour – Ms.Michelle was on Broadway! It’s a small world.” This fuller narration reveals it was a performance for the UN delegates and evocatively sets down the network of intersections insinuated in the performing-art world with this collaboration, thereby making it all the more special.
An electrician also weighed in. “I played guitar behind you two. How much fun was that?! I haven’t stopped smiling all day. An honor and a memory that I’ll cherish forever. 🎸❤️”- a statement from guitarist nevography reaffirming that it was an event filled with joy and fond memories for all present.

Giant buildup aside, the entrenched anticipation is sewn around Michelle’s teaser, which leans the association of the upcoming reveal toward a very prestigious Unite Nations event-that is a seal of approval in itself from an creator of Andra Day’s calibre, indicating that this is going to be something worth noting. When the union of two powerhouses is met with such warm reception from the fans and the well-wishers, what lies ahead for this announcement is very much in the limelight. That promise of “more on this later” will soon cease to sting. This project follows her recent free virtual conference for women, and her appearance was enhanced by invisible K-tip hair extensions.
