Beyoncé has voiced her support for Kamala Harris!
For months, the vice president has been using the singer’s song Freedom as her walkout song throughout her presidential campaign, which many saw as an implicit endorsement from Queen Bey. But now, it’s official! She’s fully endorsing Kamala!
Joined by her fellow Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé took to the stage at the politician’s rally at the Shell Energy Stadium in Houston on Friday night and delivered a powerful speech. She began by saying:
“H-town! We are so happy to be standing here on this stage as proud country Texan women, supporting and celebrating the one and only Vice President Kamala Harris. A woman who’s been pushing for what this country really needs right now: unity. It’s impossible to not feel the energy in this room. The positivity, the community, the humanity. We are at the precipice of an incredible shift, the brink of history.”

Beyoncé continued to express how she “cares deeply” about the future America that her children — and everyone’s children — will grow up in, hoping for a united world and one where women have the right to “control” their own bodies:
“I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother. A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in. A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies. A world where we’re not divided. Our past, our present, our future, merge to meet us here. Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations. Imagine our grandmothers, imagine what they feel right now. Those who have lived to see this historic day.”
Concluding her message, the Grammy winner stressed the need for everyone to “vote,” adding:
“It’s time to sing a new song. A song that began 248 years ago. The old notes of downfall, discord, despair, no longer resonate. Our generations of loved ones before us are whispering a prophecy, a quest, a calling, an anthem. Our moment right now. It’s time for America to sing a new song. Our voices sing a chorus of unity. They sing a song of dignity and opportunity. Are y’all ready to add your voice to the new American song? Because I am. So let’s do this! Ladies and gentlemen, please, give a big loud Texas welcome to the next president of the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris.”
Amazing!!
