Ciara and her children were special guests of the White House on Wednesday to promote COVID-19 vaccinations for kids.

The Grammy winner and her three children -- daughter Sienna Princess, 4, and sons Future Zahir, 7, and Win Harrison, 1 -- met with First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and pediatrician Dr. Hina Talib to discuss the importance of vaccinations for 5- to 11-year-olds, a White House official told People.

"She has been eager to engage around vaccinations and particularly interested in promoting children vaccinations," the White House official said about the "Level Up" singer.

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is now available to children in that age range.

"From the White House perspective, we are always looking for trusted messengers who we know from polling are the best people to convince people to get vaccinated," the spokesperson continued. "That is no different for parents and their young children."

The 36-year-old performer's trip to Washington, D.C., comes four months after singer Olivia Rodrigo visited the White House to promote the COVID-19 vaccine.

"I am beyond honored and humbled to be here today to help spread the message about the importance of youth vaccination," Rodrigo said during an appearance in the White House press briefing room. "I'm in awe of the work President Biden and Dr. Fauci have done and was happy to help lend my support to this important initiative."
