A rep Beyonce says the singer was ‘never scheduled’ to appear at the 2024 Democratic National Convention on Thursday, August 22
Beyoncé did not make an appearance at the 2024 Democratic National Convention despite rumors the singer would take the stage in celebration of Kamala Harris’ presidential nomination.
“Beyoncé was never scheduled to be there,” the Grammy-winning star’s rep told The Hollywood Reporter in a Thursday, August 22, statement. “The report of a performance is untrue.”
Speculation that Beyoncé, 42, would perform at the United Center in Chicago during the DNC’s final evening sparked earlier this week. While Beyoncé had yet to officially endorse Kamala Harris, 59, before Thursday, CNN reported in July that she gave the vice president permission to use her 2016 song “Freedom” throughout her campaign. Harris first utilized the anthem during a visit to her campaign headquarters in July and has since featured it in ads and at the Democratic National Convention when she walked on stage on Monday, August 19.
