Presidential Cameo and Musical Highlights
The movie’s opening scenes used footage of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, and First Lady Michelle Obama.
The edited footage was from the 2013 reception of The 36th Annual Kennedy Center Honors held in the East Room of the White House in Washington, where Anna Kendrick performed as part of a musical tribute to 2013 Honoree Shirley MacLaine.
Additionally, the film features the popular song “Cups,” which also featured in the first movie during Anna Kendrick’s character’s audition for the Bellas.

This song originated from an old bluegrass tune, and the movie version is a cover of Lulu and the Lampshade’s rendition.
Anna Kendrick: From Pitch Perfect to Trolls
At one point in the movie, Beca’s German counterpart, Komissar, refers to her as a troll. Interestingly, Kendrick voiced the lead character in Dreamworks’ animated film Trolls (2016). After a DSM performance at an auto show, Beca is called a Troll.
Anna Kendrick is from Maine, and while at the retreat, Cynthia mentions that she plans to get married in Maine after graduation.
