Beyoncé to appear alongside Kamala Harris at rally

Beyoncé will appear alongside US Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally in Texas, the first joint appearance with the music icon whose anthem has been the soundtrack of the Harris campaign.
The appearance, in which Beyoncé will appear with legendary country singer Willie Nelson, is designed to be one of the biggest closing acts of the campaign.
Since the moment Harris ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket, the vice president’s team has been working behind the scenes to negotiate a joint appearance before election day.

Beyoncé’s team did not respond to CNN’s request for comment. Her upcoming appearance in the city of Houston on Friday (Saturday Australian time) was first reported by The Washington Post.
Beyoncé all but gave her endorsement to Harris months ago, giving her permission to use her song Freedom as her official campaign anthem, CNN first reported in July.
Beyoncé, who is known for maintaining strict clearance guidelines around her music, gave quick approval to the Harris campaign to use the anthem, which has been the backdrop for Harris ads and when she was onstage at the Democratic National Convention. Harris first walked out to Freedom at her first official stop at her campaign headquarters, two days after she launched her presidential campaign.
