Fans are massively disappointed that pop star Beyoncé only made a brief appearance at Kamala Harris’ campaign rally in Houston over the weekend.
Despite no confirmation that the 32-time Grammy Award winner would perform, rallygoers expected to hear Beyoncé sing and not just speak. The 43-year-old Houston native delivered a speech, which had an estimated attendance of 30,000, and endorsed Harris for the 2024 presidential election.
“I’m here as a mother, a mother who cares about the world our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we are not divided, our past or present or future,” the singer said.
Instead, the hopeful fans were treated to a concert by 81-year-old country artist Willie Nelson.

Many fans headed to X to complain about Beyoncé deciding not to perform.
“So let me get this straight, Kamala Harris baited people with a free Beyoncé concert and then had Willie Nelson perform,” one social media user shared. “Talk about a bunch of pissed-off concert-goers.”
“She can’t even deliver on promises to her own followers with a Beyoncé performance, but yes she will totally close the border and stuff,” another said of Harris.
A third accused the Democratic party of baiting voters with a “free Beyoncé concert” and delivering a “washed up Willie Nelson” instead, likening that to the overall tactics of the party.
Beyoncé previously allowed the Harris campaign to use her songs “Freedom” and “Lemonade” for promotional purposes.
This isn’t the first time the “Texas Hold ‘Em” star was the subject of rumors related to political events. Fans were also left disappointed in August when outlets started reporting that Beyoncé might perform at the Democratic National Convention. Instead, the headliner of the final night’s event was the pop singer Pink.
Helping to fuel the rumors was Beyoncé’s previous promotion of Democratic politicians. She put on a concert celebrating Hillary Clinton in 2016 and performed at Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013.
