Save the date: Oct. 25 is going to be a big one. According to multiple outlets, Beyoncé is scheduled to make an appearance at Kamala Harris’s Houston rally. As of Oct. 24, it’s unclear exactly what Beyoncé’s appearance at the rally will entail — like, whether she’s performing, speaking, or literally just showing up — but regardless, fans are *hype* about this event.
Although she is quite private about her personal life, Beyoncé is no stranger to supporting political candidates. In 2016, for example, she sang “Formation” at a Hillary Clinton rally soon before that election. But one of the most prominent reasons fans of Harris and Beyoncé alike are excited is because the global superstar has yet to *officially* endorse Harris, so this appearance — which will take place a mere 10 days before Election Day — could be seen as a last-minute push to get undecided voters, or those who weren’t planning to vote, to the polls.
Of course, that’s not to say Beyoncé hasn’t already shown support for Harris in other ways. Most significantly, in July, soon after Harris officially announced her candidacy for president, Beyoncé granted Harris permission to use her iconic song “Freedom” in her campaign. However, many fans believe this rally appearance is teeing up to be Bey’s big moment to put the full weight of her celeb status behind her candidate of choice.
With Houston being Beyoncé’s hometown and Texas being a key state in the election, this feels like an iconic moment for Beyoncé and Harris to appear together. And if you can’t make it there in person, here’s what to know about watching this all unfold from home.
I get to hear Kamala Harris speak tomorrow in my hometown with Beyoncé in Texas.
Is this year even real !?????
