Beyonce returns to her roots.

The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer recently stepped out for a surprise performance at Vice President Kamala Harris‘ meeting in her hometown of Houston.

“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 that my children and all our children live in,” Beyoncé said from the stage. . “A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we are not divided.”

The Grammy winner – who shares children Blue ivy12, and twins Rumi And Sir6, with husband Jay Z — continues: “Imagine our daughters growing up and seeing what is possible with no ceilings, no limitations. Imagine our grandmothers. Imagine what they feel now, those who lived through this historic day, even those who are no longer physically there are us. Imagine all their sacrifices so that we can witness the strength of a woman in her power.”

And while Beyoncé’s performance got fans excited, it wasn’t a complete surprise. Sources with direct knowledge of the event told NBC News earlier this week that she would take the stage next to the Democratic candidate for president.

“I think she is a steadfast, gifted leader and I believe we can achieve so much more in this country if we allow ourselves to be guided by calm and not chaos,” Swift wrote in a September 10 Instagram post. “I was so encouraged and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”

Meanwhile, Beyoncé’s latest performance comes two months after rumors swirled that she would perform at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 22. While talk of a possible performance circulated on social media for days ahead of the ‘XO’ singer’s alleged performance, Beyoncé’s rep later laid out their cards, put them down, put them down — revealing they weren’t true.

“Beyoncé was never meant to be there,” her rep told the Hollywood Reporter. “The report of a performance is not true.”

“Beyoncé was never meant to be there,” her rep told the newspaper Hollywood reporter. “The report of a performance is not true.”

But given Beyoncé’s penchant for the element of surprise, no one can blame fans for getting their hopes up. Finally, the 43-year-old rarely announces her next step and has surprised fans over the years with appearances, appearances and albums.

Why does Beyoncé prefer to keep her fans guessing? It all comes down to her philosophy with fame and making music.

“I focus on evolution, innovation and changing perception,” she told GQ in September. “If you don’t see me on the red carpet, and if I disappear until I have art to share, that’s why.”

According to the Environmental Voter Project, more than 130,000 new voters who prioritize climate change have already cast their ballots. Combined with the consequences of extreme weather and climate change, they could decide this election. National climate reporter Chase Cain shows us where climate voters can have the most influence.
