Beyoncé expected to perform at Harris rally in Houston

Pop superstar Beyoncé will appear with Vice President Kamala Harris at her event in Houston, Texas on Friday evening, according to three sources familiar with the plans. 

Beyonce is also expected to perform, according to one of the sources, who has direct knowledge of the preparations. 

The pop star is from Houston and her appearance comes as the Harris campaign has welcomed other musicians, like Bruce Springsteen and Eminem, to the campaign trail.

The vice president’s other prominent celebrity endorsements include Taylor Swift, Charli XCX and Billie Eilish.

Beyonce is not often involved in politics but famously sang the national anthem at former President Barack Obama’s first inauguration in 2008.

Though Texas is not expected to be competitive in the presidential race, Harris’ rally there comes amid a tightening Senate race between Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic Rep. Colin Allred, who is expected to attend Friday’s rally

Beyonce’s 2016 hit “Freedom” has become Harris’ anthem on the campaign trail and plays often at the start of her rallies.
