Beyoncé To Appear With Kamala At Houston Rally

Rumors are circulating that pop star Beyoncé will appear at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in her hometown of Houston on Friday.

She is set to be joined at the event by her mother, Tina Knowles, and country music singer Willie Nelson, per anonymous sources who spoke to the Washington Post. It’s also being speculated that the 32-time Grammy Award winner will perform at the rally, NBC News reported.

So far Beyoncé has not officially endorsed Harris for president despite months of speculation and pressure from fans. The pop star did allow her songs “Freedom” and “Lemonade” to be used in Harris’ campaign materials, though.

Fans were convinced that Beyoncé would perform on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in August, but those rumors proved unfounded, and no appearance was ever planned. Instead, the final day included a performance by Pink.

The 43-year-old singer joins a host of other famous musicians who have endorsed Harris or appeared on the campaign trail. On Tuesday night, Eminem took the stage to introduce former President Barack Obama at a Harris rally in Detroit. Bruce Springsteen is also headlining rallies in key swing states as the election heats up in its final weeks.

Musical artists who have endorsed Harris include Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Stevie Wonder, Olivia Rodrigo, Barbara Streisand, and John Legend.

While Beyoncé hasn’t gone all in for Harris yet, she has a history of supporting Democratic candidates.  The recording artist endorsed the Joe Biden/Harris ticket in 2020 and put on a performance celebrating Hillary Clinton in 2016. Beyoncé also performed at Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013.

Though Texas is not one of the hotly contested swing states in play, there is a closer Senate race between incumbent Republican Senator Ted Cruz and the Democratic nominee, Representative Colin Allred.

Per the NBC News report, Harris will focus her remarks at the rally on the topic of abortion. Texas is one state that instituted an abortion ban after six weeks of pregnancy following the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.
