82岁琼妮·米切尔宣布成为美国公民：自言「一段始于62年前的旅程」，1965年首次赴美
洛杉矶10月13日——据娱乐媒体 Just Jared 10月13日报道，82岁的加拿大创作歌手琼妮·米切尔（Joni Mitchell）周二在社交媒体上宣布，她已正式成为美国公民——这一程序她自言始于62年前。她在 Instagram 发布一张自己微笑挥舞小面美国国旗的照片，并配文「一段始于62年前的旅程」，同时分享了宣誓现场自己名字被叫到的短视频。
米切尔出生于加拿大，1965年与前夫查克·米切尔（Chuck Mitchell）首次前往美国，在底特律生活数年；短暂居纽约后，她于1960年代末移居南加州并定居至今。她在2006年接受《渥太华观察家报》采访时曾说，洛杉矶是她的「工作场所」，而不列颠哥伦比亚省是她的「心跳」。
今年3月，米切尔多年来首次回到加拿大，在2026年朱诺奖（Juno Awards）上接受终身成就奖；年初的格莱美奖典礼上，她的一个瞬间也在网络上走红。

Joni Mitchell, 82, Announces She Has Become a U.S. Citizen, 62 Years After Starting the Process
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13 — Singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, 82, announced on Tuesday that she has become a U.S. citizen, more than six decades after she first started the process, Just Jared reported. "A journey that began 62 years ago," Mitchell wrote on Instagram, posting a photo of herself smiling and waving a small American flag along with a short video of her name being called as her citizenship became official.
Mitchell was born in Canada and first traveled to the United States in 1965 with her former husband Chuck Mitchell, living in Detroit for several years. After a brief period in New York City, she moved to Southern California in the late 1960s, where she still lives today. She told the Ottawa Observer in 2006 that Los Angeles was her "workplace" while British Columbia was her "heartbeat."
Earlier this year, Mitchell returned to Canada for the first time in many years to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2026 Juno Awards in March, and a moment of hers at this year's Grammy Awards went viral.
