Niall Horan, Katy Perry, Tyler Oakley and Drake are among the stars paying tribute to the outgoing President.
The internet has been reacting to President Obama's final days in the job, paying tribute to the work he's done over the last eight years as well as generally getting their feelings out as he prepares to depart.
President Barack Obama gave his final speech in office last night (January 11th), thanking those who've supported him and asking the American to, once again, believe they can create change in the world.
