The vice president has made a number of remarks praising the singer, describing her as «inspiring.»
Beyoncé is expected to rally with Vice President Kamala Harris in Houston on Friday, and the Democratic presidential nominee has long expressed her praise for the musical superstar.
Beyoncé’s planned appearance was reported by the Associated Press, citing three people familiar with the matter. Harris is set to appear in Houston, Beyoncé hometown, on Friday to campaign alongside U.S. Senate candidate Colin Allred, who is challenging Republican Senator Ted Cruz in one of the most closely contested Senate races across the country.
Newsweek has reached out to the Harris campaign for comment via email.
While Beyoncé, whose full name is Beyoncé Knowles, hasn’t officially made public comments on this year’s election, she has allowed Harris to use her music on the campaign trail. Her song «Freedom» has become an anthem for the Harris campaign. She will be the latest high-profile celebrity to back Harris in the neck-and-neck race against former President Donald Trump, the GOP’s presidential nominee.
Harris has over the years voiced support for Knowles. Earlier this year, the vice president complimented her after the release of Cowboy Carter, Knowles’ latest album that takes inspiration from country music.
