The queen of everything, Beyoncé, is diving into politics, and she’s bringing her sequins and sass to Houston! According to sources spilling tea to The Washington Post, the 43-year-old “Cowboy Carter” superstar will be side-stepping her way into a rally on Friday (October 25) alongside Vice President Kamala Harris. But wait, there’s more! Her iconic mama Tina Knowles and country legend Willie Nelson are also crashing the party. Yes, this is the weirdest, coolest crossover episode you never knew you needed.
Fans have been biting their perfectly manicured nails waiting for Beyoncé’s political stamp of approval. When, where, and how would she endorse someone? Skywriting over Coachella? A surprise album called Endorsements Are Forever? Nope, she’s going old-school with a live rally, baby. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift already beat her to the punch in September, backing Kamala with an Instagram post and at least three emojis—bold, but not Beyoncé bold.
Now, Kamala’s no stranger to the Beyhive lifestyle. She’s been blasting Bey’s song “Freedom” as her walk-on anthem at rallies, which is basically the political version of saying, “I’m a cool mom, not a regular mom.” We see you, Kamala.
Let’s talk about that rumor, though: Word on the street was that Beyoncé might perform at the Democratic National Convention, but it turned out to be as real as a unicorn in a pantsuit. Dreams were shattered. Spotify playlists were abandoned. Democracy almost lost a bit of sparkle. But hey, better late than never!
Beyoncé is coming, Texas is quaking, and somewhere Willie Nelson is probably trying to figure out if he needs to learn choreography. Strap in, because when Queen Bey and Kamala hit the stage, it’s going to be politics—but with more glitter.
