‘Time to sing a new song:’ Beyoncé rouses Kamala Harris supporters with passionate speech
Raw StoryMega chart-topper Beyoncé delivered a simple message to Americans while rallying supporters of Kamala Harris at a packed Houston stadium on Friday: “We need you.” “For all the men and women in this room and watching around the country: We need you,” the Houston native said during her short remarks that immediately followed a speech by her one-time Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland. The group’s popular 1999 hit “Independent Woman, Part 1” welcomed the pair as they took the stage. Because I am.” Beyoncé told the crowd the country was “at the precipice of an incredible shift, the brink of history” and added that it was “impossible not to feel the energy in this room, the positivity, the community, the humanity.” As she introduced Harris, the singer’s 2016 track “Freedom," which has become the campaign's anthem, played in the background. “Kelly and Beyonce!” Harris said as she took the stage at the rally focusing on reproductive rights.
