The appearance ends months of speculation about whether the singer would publicly endorse the Democratic party’s presidential nominee.
The singer was introduced by her mother, Tina Knowles, and joined onstage by her former Destiny’s Child bandmate, Kelly Rowland. Earlier in the evening, country music’s Willie Nelson performed.
During Harris’ speech, the vice president focused on reproductive rights. “In America, freedom is not to be given. It is not to be bestowed. It is ours. By right. And that includes the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have the government telling her what to do,” Harris said. She also noted that when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom, she would sign it into law.
Knowles told her local Houston crowd that “you showed up and you showed out,” before quipping, “I’ve been so blessed in my life to have many careers, many Black jobs.”
