Beyoncé’s song “Freedom” becomes an election campaign hit: Kamala Harris has received the singer’s consent to play the song.
Kamala Harris (59) is apparently receiving support from music superstar Beyoncé (42) in the fight for the Oval Office. According to US media reports, the likely Democratic presidential candidate entered her campaign headquarters on Monday evening (July 22) to the sounds of Beyoncé’s hit “Freedom” from the album “Lemonade” (2016). , that the US Vice President had received the singer’s express permission just a few hours earlier to use the song on the campaign trail.
A source close to Kamala Harris revealed, according to CNN, that Beyoncé’s team gave the politician permission to play “Freedom” not only on Monday night, but “throughout her entire presidential campaign.”
“Tacit Consent” by Beyoncé
Beyoncé has not yet officially announced her support for Kamala Harris. Unlike her mother Tina Knowles (70): “New, youthful, sharp, energy!!!! You wanted it that way and our President Biden did what was best for the country! Putting aside personal ego, power and fame. That is the definition of a great leader. Thank you President Biden for your service and leadership.” She then cheered on Vice President Kamala Harris: “Let’s Go #kamala2024”. She added a photo of herself with the 59-year-old.
According to US media reports, the fact that Kamala Harris is allowed to use Beyoncé’s song in her performances could be interpreted as “tacit consent” from the singer herself.
The song “Freedom”, which featured rapper Kendrick Lamar (37), was never officially released as a single and only reached number 35 on the “Billboard” charts as an album track in 2016. However, the Grammy-nominated song became the anthem of many demonstrations following the violent death of George Floyd (1973-2020) in 2020.
