Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland rally with Kamala Harris in Houston

Beyoncé and her former Destiny’s Child bandmate, Kelly Rowland, took to the stage in Houston on October 25 to show support for Kamala Harris in the final stretch of her campaign. Addressing a crowd that gathered to witness both the performance and political rally, Beyoncé emphasized the importance of voting to protect freedoms and women’s rights, marking a rare but powerful political appearance for the superstar.

At the rally, Beyoncé delivered a heartfelt message, calling herself “a mother who cares deeply about the world our children and all our children live in.” She urged the crowd to consider the future they want to create, a future where there is “freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided.” Beyoncé’s statement added an optimistic tone to Harris’s message about ongoing battles for women’s rights.

Kelly Rowland’s role in the rally

Rowland joined Beyoncé on stage, creating a Destiny’s Child mini-reunion that excited fans and added a nostalgic feel to the event. Rowland, who has been vocal about supporting women’s rights, stood in solidarity with Beyoncé and Harris as they discussed the importance of unity and voting for change.

Tina Knowles’ introduction and Willie Nelson’s appearance

Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, introduced her daughter with pride, setting the stage for Beyoncé’s first official endorsement of Harris. Joining the lineup of celebrity endorsements, country icon Willie Nelson also attended, showing the diverse support Harris has gained across Texas and beyond.

Beyoncé’s music has been a source of inspiration for Harris’s campaign, with the VP candidate choosing “Break My Soul” as a personal anthem, even revealing she listens to it frequently. The song’s message of resilience resonates with Harris, who’s been vocal about its impact. Beyoncé, however, waited until this rally to formally endorse Harris, making her support known with a powerful speech.
