Houston [US], October 27: With less than two weeks away from Election Day, Beyonce took the stage at Vice President Kamala Harris' rally in her hometown Houston, Texas on Friday (October 25).
Walking out with former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland, the Cowboy Carter artist gracefully entered the room to make a public speech at the event, formally endorsing the Harris-Walz ticket.
Beyonce kicked off her speech with an enthusiastic "H-Town," further setting the crowd off in an ecstatic uproar. "We are so happy to be standing here on this stage as proud Country Texas women supporting and celebrating the one and only Vice President Kamala Harris," she began. "A woman who's been pushing for what this country really needs right now: Unity. It's impossible not to feel the energy in this room. The positivity, the community, the humanity. We are at the precipice of an incredible shift. The brink of history."
The Grammy Award-winning artist uttered her speech with sincere joy and zeal saying, "I'm not here as a celebrity. I'm not here as a politician. I'm here as a mother. A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in. A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies. A world where we're not divided. Our past, our present, our future merge to meet us here."
"Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what's possible with no ceilings. No limitations. Imagine our grandmothers. imagine what they feel right now. Those who have lived to see this historic day. Even those who are no longer physically with us, imagine all of their sacrifice. The sacrifices made so we can witness the strength of a woman standing in her power," she added.
She continued with an impactful call to action message to everyone at the rally and those watching across the world, reiterating that the fundamental right to vote is "one of the most valuable tools."
Giving a special shoutout to different regions of Texas, Beyonce emphasized that it's time to "sing a new song." She concluded her remarks stating, "The song that began 248 years ago. The old notes of downfall, discord, despair no longer resonate. Our generations of loved ones before us are whispering a prophecy, a quest, a calling, an anthem. Our moment is right now. It's time for America to sing a new song. Our voices sing a song of unity. They sing a song of dignity and opportunity. Are y'all ready to add your voice to the new American song? Because I am. So let's do this! Ladies and gentlemen, please give a big, loud Texas welcome to the next President of the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris."
