July 23rd 2024.
In a heartwarming show of support, Beyoncé has officially joined forces with Kamala Harris in her run for the presidency. The beloved singer has granted Harris permission to use her hit song "Freedom" during her campaign events, an honor that is not often bestowed upon political figures. And it couldn't have come at a more fitting time – the powerful track played as Harris made her grand entrance to her campaign headquarters on July 22.
It's no secret that Beyoncé is known for being selective when it comes to granting permission for her music to be used for political purposes. So when news broke that she had given the green light for "Freedom" to be used in this historic moment, it was a clear indication of her support for Harris. CNN even confirmed that the Grammy winner readily agreed to the request, which was made just hours before the event.
The significance of "Freedom" being chosen as Harris's campaign anthem cannot be ignored. The song, released in 2016 as part of Beyoncé's acclaimed album Lemonade, carries a powerful message of Black empowerment. With lyrics like "I break chains all by myself" and "A winner don't quit on themselves," it's a perfect fit for a presidential race that is all about promoting self-empowerment.
And while Beyoncé has yet to explicitly endorse Harris, her decision to allow the use of her song at the event speaks volumes. It's clear that the singer has a deep admiration for the politician, as shown by her previous gesture of gifting her tickets to her Renaissance World Tour show last August. Harris even showed her appreciation by donning the concert's shimmery attire theme and thanking Beyoncé on Instagram for the "fun date night."
The approval of "Freedom" aligns perfectly with the overwhelming support that Harris has received from Black women, a key demographic in her campaign. Over 40,000 supporters joined a "Win With Black Women" Zoom call, raising a staggering $1.5 million for her campaign on July 21. As Harris continues to garner delegates and solidify her position as the Democratic nominee, it's clear that "Freedom" has become a fitting theme song for her journey to the Oval Office.
This collaboration between Beyoncé and Harris has touched the hearts of many, and it's a testament to the power of unity and support. As Queen Bey herself said, "Who run the world? Girls!" And with these two strong, influential women on her side, there's no telling what Harris can accomplish in her campaign for the presidency.
