Vice President Kamala Harris made a striking entrance during her first official visit to her campaign headquarters on Monday evening.
Walking out to the rousing tune of Beyoncé’s “Freedom.”
The selection of this anthem wasn’t merely a random choice; it symbolized a significant endorsement from one of the world’s most influential artists.

A source close to Harris revealed to CNN that Beyoncé’s representatives gave their swift approval for the campaign’s use of the song.
Known for her meticulous control over her music, Beyoncé’s quick consent is a notable sign of support for Harris, although the superstar has yet to make an official endorsement.

The powerful lyrics of “Freedom,” featuring Kendrick Lamar and from Beyoncé’s acclaimed 2016 album “Lemonade,” resonated through the room as Harris walked in.
The song, an anthem for many social justice movements, especially following the 2020 death of George Floyd, set the tone for Harris’ campaign.
The Vice President stepped out to the lyrics: “Freedom, Freedom / Where are you?
‘Cause I need freedom, too / I break chains all by myself / Won’t let my freedom rot in hell / Hey! I’ma keep running / ‘Cause a winner don’t quit on themselves.”

Neither Harris’ campaign nor Beyoncé’s team responded to CNN’s requests for comment.
The alignment between Harris and Beyoncé became more evident through the support of Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother.
Just a day after President Joe Biden announced he would not seek a second term.
Beyoncé publicly endorsed Harris on Instagram, celebrating her “new, youthful, sharp energy.”

“Thank you, President Biden, for your service and your leadership. Go Vice President Kamala Harris for President. Let’s go!” Knowles posted, along with a photo of herself with Harris.
Beyonce’s endorsement

In 2016, headlined a concert for Hillary Clinton alongside her husband Jay-Z.
In 2020, Beyoncé endorsed the Biden-Harris ticket, encouraging her followers to vote.
