Beyoncé is expected to join Kamala Harris at the rally in Houston that day

The rally, which will also include country music legend Willie Nelson, is expected to be an important final act of Harris’ campaign efforts before Election Day. This is the first time Beyoncé and Harris have performed together in public to perform the music icon’s powerful anthem “Freedom.”

Months ago, the Houston native gave Harris permission to use “Freedom” as the official anthem for her campaign. Approval was granted quickly, despite Beyoncé’s reputation for following strict guidelines when using her music CNN.

The song was used in Harris’ commercials and played at key campaign moments, including when Harris made her first appearance at the Democratic National Convention and at her campaign office shortly after announcing her candidacy.

Will Beyoncé perform in Houston?

Although rumors circulated that Beyoncé may have appeared at the Democratic National Convention to support Harris, campaign officials clarified that such an appearance was never planned. The upcoming rally in Houston is a big event for both Harris and Beyoncé, who has long supported Democratic candidates.

Back in the 2020 election, Beyoncé supported the Biden-Harris ticket on her Instagram.

In 2013, Beyoncé sang the national anthem at President Barack Obama’s second inauguration. Three years later, she and her husband Jay-Z headlined a pre-election concert supporting Hillary Clinton in Cleveland, Ohio. Her dancers famously wore blue pantsuits as a nod to Clinton, who campaigned to become the first female president.

“I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman leading our country and knowing that her possibilities are limitless,” Beyoncé said at the time. “And that’s why I’m with her.”

Former POTUS Donald Trump is also making campaign stops across the country in the final days of the presidential campaign. He has highlighted several celebrity endorsements, including endorsements from wrestling icon Hulk Hogan and country stars Jason Aldean and Kid Rock.
