Beyoncé Signs Off on Use Of Her Song 'Freedom' for Kamala Harris' Presidential Campaign

Kamala Harris made a memorable entrance at her campaign headquarters to the empowering sounds of Beyoncé's "Freedom."

The GRAMMY-nominated song became an anthem for Black Lives Matter marches following the death of George Floyd -- who was killed by a white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest in 2020. And in 2016, Beyoncé and her husband, JAY-Z, headlined a pre-election concert for Hillary Clinton in Cleveland, Ohio, where her backup dancers wore blue pantsuits as a tribute to the woman aiming to become the first female president. While Clinton ultimately lost out to Donald Trump, who is running this year as the republican presidential nominee, Beyoncé went on to endorse the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020, using her Instagram platform to encourage her followers to vote.
