The Democratic National Convention was abuzz with excitement as rumors swirled about a potential appearance by Beyoncé. The speculation was fueled by her permission to use her song “Freedom” for Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign. Fans were hopeful for a surprise performance by the music icon, especially after signs like “Cowboy Kamala” sashes and a tweet from White House political director Emily Ruiz hinted at something big.
However, the fever dream came to an end when it was confirmed that Beyoncé would not be performing at the DNC. Despite previous appearances at Democratic events, her representative clarified that she was never scheduled to be in Chicago. TMZ issued a correction and social media accounts involved in the rumor mill offered apologies for getting people’s hopes up.
In the end, the internet was left to buzz with disappointment over the missed opportunity for a star-studded DNC.
