Beyoncé Shows Support for Kamala Harris’ Presidential Campaign Through Music

Beyoncé is once again using her music to show support for a political candidate, this time Vice President Kamala Harris. The music icon has given Harris permission to use her song “Freedom” throughout her presidential campaign, according to CNN. Harris walked out to the empowering track during her first official visit to her campaign headquarters, with the chorus echoing powerful lyrics about breaking chains and not giving up on freedom.

While Beyoncé has not officially endorsed Harris’ campaign, allowing her to use the song is seen as a strong signal of support. Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, has already endorsed Harris, praising her as a leader with “new, youthful, sharp energy.” This move is not new for Beyoncé, who has previously endorsed Democratic candidates like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020.

The Grammy winner has used her platform to advocate for female leadership in politics, stating that she wants her daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead the country and knowing that her possibilities are limitless. Beyoncé’s support for Harris through her music adds another layer of celebrity endorsement to the vice president’s campaign, further solidifying her position in the political landscape.
