Beyoncé performs with Kamala Harris in Houston to highlight abortion rights – reports | Beyonce

According to media reports, Beyoncé will perform with Kamala Harris in Houston on Friday.

The star turn will confirm that the Democratic vice president and US presidential candidate has the backing of the world's two most popular musicians following Taylor Swift's endorsement of Harris last month – a potentially invaluable asset for mobilizing young voters.

Harris is demonstrating in Texas, a Republican stronghold, to highlight abortion rights and support Democratic Senate candidate Colin Allred, who is trailing Republican Ted Cruz in opinion polls.

According to sources cited by the Washington Post newspaper, Beyoncé, 43, will perform in her hometown alongside her mother Tina Knowles and 91-year-old country music giant Willie Nelson.

The event will offer Beyoncé the opportunity to give a live performance of “Freedom,” a song from her 2016 album “Lemonade” that the vice president uses as backing music at rallies while making freedom a central theme of her campaign.

Beyoncé, who has hundreds of millions of followers on social media, sang a cover of Etta James' “At Last” at one of President Barack Obama's inauguration balls in 2009 before singing the national anthem at Obama's second inauguration ceremony in 2013.

Three days before the 2016 presidential election, she led a formation at a rally for Democrat Hillary Clinton and told the crowd, “I want my daughter to grow up with a woman who will lead the country. That's why I'm with her.”

Her support for Harris comes as no surprise, fueling feverish speculation — and inaccurate reporting — that she would make a dramatic appearance at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this summer.

Beyoncé is the latest celebrity to add star power to the Harris campaign. On Thursday, the Democrat will host a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, with musician Bruce Springsteen, film director Spike Lee, actor Samuel L. Jackson and actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry, as well as Obama.

Other musicians supporting the Democrat include Eminem, Cher, Billie Eilish, Barbra Streisand, Carole King, John Legend and Stevie Wonder. Trump is supported by Jason Aldean, Lee Greenwood, Kanye West and Kid Rock, while a video featuring rapper Forgiato Blow and reality TV star Amber Rose was shown at the Republican National Convention.
