Kamala Harris Has Permission To Use Beyoncé’s Song ‘Freedom’ During Her Presidential Campaign — Report
deadline.comBeyoncé has given Kamala Harris permission to use her song ‘Freedom’ during the Vice President’s presidential campaign, according to a CNN report.
Harris walked out to the song during her first official visit to her campaign headquarters yesterday evening in Delaware. Per CNN, Harris’ team got quick permission to use it from Beyoncé’s reps to use it throughout the campaign.
Beyoncé keeps close control over clearance around her music, but the approval suggests Harris has her backing in the race to compete with Donald Trump for the presidency, which broke out when President Joe Biden confirmed he would not be running for a second term.
CNN noted Beyoncé — full name Beyoncé Knowles-Carter — is yet to officially endorse Harris, but has backed several Democratic candidates in the past, notably singing the national anthem at President Obama’s second-term inauguration in 2013, and actively backing Hilary Clinton in her failed bid to beat Trump in 2016.
