Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland made powerful speeches at a Kamala Harris campaign rally in Houston. Beyoncé, a Houston native, spoke about the importance of unity and freedom in America. She emphasized the need for a new song to be sung in the country and encouraged the audience to add their voices to the conversation. Beyoncé, dressed in a black skirt suit, expressed her concerns as a mother and a global citizen who cares about the future of our children and the freedom to control our own bodies.
Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé’s former Destiny’s Child bandmate, also addressed the crowd, urging Houston residents to come together and make a difference. Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, and singer Willie Nelson were also present at the rally to show their support for Harris. The event featured performances by various artists, including Willie Nelson.
Throughout her campaign, Kamala Harris has received endorsements from a number of celebrities, such as Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, and Billie Eilish. Beyoncé’s endorsement today is particularly significant as she has allowed Harris to use her song “Freedom” as the theme for her campaign. The track, which features rapper Kendrick Lamar, has become a symbol of empowerment and unity in the wake of social justice movements like Black Lives Matter.
Harris has used “Freedom” as her entrance music at rallies and events, as well as in her campaign videos. Beyoncé’s support for Harris was made clear when she threatened legal action against Donald Trump’s campaign for using the song without permission. Other artists, including Celine Dion, Isaac Hayes, and Sinéad O’Connor, have also spoken out against the unauthorized use of their music by political campaigns.
Beyoncé’s appearance at the rally today marks a significant moment in Harris’s campaign, as she continues to garner support from influential figures in the entertainment industry. The unity and empowerment conveyed by Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland’s speeches reflect the message of Harris’s campaign and the need for positive change in America. As the election approaches, the voices of these influential women will continue to inspire and motivate voters across the country.
