Superstar singer Beyonce takes the stage at a rally for Kamala Harris in Houston on the night of Oct. 25, 2024 not to sing but to offer her first public political appearance this election cycle at a crucial moment for the Democratic presidential candidate. Beyonce, a Houston native, walked on stage to roaring applause from the crowd of some 30,000 attending Vice President Harris' abortion rights-themed rally, alongside fellow former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland. Beyonce said she was at the rally 'not as a celebrity' but 'as a mother.' She then introduced Harris, who walked onstage to what has become her campaign anthem: the song 'Freedom' from Beyonce's 2016 album 'Lemonade.' Beyonce gave the vice president a long embrace before exiting.
