Massive Artist Support for Kamala Harris

More and more artists are rallying around the American presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Now the fans' hopes are growing that Beyoncé or Taylor Swift – preferably both – will perform at the Democrats' convention in Chicago.

Not since Barack Obama's presidential campaigns has the enthusiasm for the American election been higher among American actors and artists, notes CNN. Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, and Cardi B are among those who quickly expressed their support, as did Katy Perry, Kesha, Lizzie, and Demi Lovato.

Bands like Bon Iver have promised to perform for Harris' campaign, and The National recently praised Kamala Harris at their concert during Way Out West in Gothenburg, where they renamed their classic song about presidential candidate John Kerry, "Mr November", to "Madam November".

Refuses to comment

At the same time, expectations are rising during the ongoing convention in Chicago. John Legend, a Democrat stalwart who performed at both the 2008 and 2020 conventions, will also appear this year. Participating will also be "Seinfeld" actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who will lead a panel discussion with the country's eight female Democratic governors.

Other actors expected to be in place in Chicago are Tim Daly, Uzo Aduba, Anthony Anderson, Jon Cryer, Richard Kind, and Busy Philipps.

Decisive answers

But fans are waiting to hear how the really big names will act – Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. Both supported Biden-Harris in 2020, but have stubbornly refused to comment on all the rumors about their appearance in Chicago.

Beyoncé has already given Harris permission to use the song "Freedom" in a campaign video. And regardless of whether Swift appears at the convention or not, groups of Swifties have already mobilized to support Harris. On site at the convention, you can make "friendship bracelets" – something Taylor Swift's fans are known for doing.

Ariana Grande, Barbra Streisand, Beyoncé, Bon Iver, Cardi B, Charli XCX, John Legend, Demi Lovato, Jason Isbell, Katy Perry, Kesha, Lance Bass from N'Sync, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Maxwell, Megan Thee Stallion, Moby, Olivia Rodrigo, Quavo.
