‘Lured people with free concert’

It was the best thing they never had.

After rumors swirled that Beyoncé would perform at Vice President Kamala Harris’ rally in Houston on Friday, fans were left in stitches after the superstar failed to put on a show for the crowd of 30,000.

Instead, the 43-year-old “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer, a native of the Lone Star State, gave a speech at Harris’ event, endorsing the Veep in the 2024 presidential election.

The singer left the stage without performing, leading critics to claim Bey was snubling the Democratic presidential candidate.

Instead, 91-year-old Willie Nelson performed for the crowd.

According to

“So let me get this straight: Kamala Harris lured people in with a free Beyoncé concert and then got Willie Nelson to perform,” one X user wrote. “Talk about a bunch of pissed off concertgoers.”

“She can’t even deliver on promises to her own followers with a Beyoncé performance, but hey, she’ll completely close the border and all that,” another critic said sarcastically.

“Last night the Democrats promised voters a free Beyoncé concert to get them to show up, but when they showed up they got a washed up Willie Nelson concert instead,” someone else snarked, claiming it was foreshadowing that the political party “will lie to them”. gain power.”

During her speech, Beyoncé said she was not appearing as a “celebrity” or “politician.”

“I am here as a mother, a mother who cares about the world in which our children live, a world in which we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world in which we are not divided, our past, present or future,” said the said Grammy winner.

“We are all part of something much bigger. We need to vote and we need you,” she continued in her speech.

‘Let’s do this. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the next President of the United States, Kamala Harris, to Texas.”

This isn’t Harris’ first star-studded appearance on the campaign trail.

The vice president was joined by Bruce Springsteen in Georgia and Eminem in Detroit, and has even received support from some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Taylor Swift, Leonardo DiCaprio and Sarah Jessica Parker.
