Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has an important announcement: She has a 5-star Uber rating.

The 80-year-old tweeted the news on Wednesday after a Twitter user took a picture of her driving. “My Uber drove past Madeleine Albright and all I got was this picture of her scratching her nose,” Twitter user Jacob Smith wrote.

Albright saw the Tweet and replied, “In case you’re wondering — I have a 5 star rating!”

This isn’t the first time she has joked about the ride-hailing company. In 2015, notes the Hill, Albright tweeted:

.@DMiliband – If I were an @uber driver, would you give me 5 stars? #DrivingDavidhttps://t.co/L2BeZWf6MD

Albright’s joke comes after Uber was hit with yet another lawsuit on Wednesday, and just after Uber CEO Travis Kalanick’s resignation last week amid pressure from investors.
