On Friday (Oct. 25) evening, Beyoncé took the stage at Kamala Harris’ Houston rally to speak “as a mother,” not a politician or the globally recognized musician she is. The “BREAK MY SOUL” artist gave an empowering speech before welcoming the VP on stage with Kelly Rowland by her side.
During the event, Beyoncé lauded Harris as “a woman who’s been pushing for what this country really needs right now: unity.” She added, “It’s impossible not to feel the energy in this room, the positivity, the community, the humanity. We are at the precipice of an incredible shift. The brink of history.”
The Texas native further shared, “[I’m here as] a mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in. A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies. A world where we’re not divided — our past, our present, our future merged to meet us here.”
Beyoncé and JAY-Z share three children. Their eldest, Blue Ivy, was born in 2012, while Rumi and Sir — the couple’s twins — were welcomed into the world in 2017.
“Imagine our daughters growing up, seeing what’s possible with no ceilings,” Beyoncé said to the cheering crowd. “Imagine our grandmothers. Imagine what they feel right now, those who have lived to see this historic day. Even those who are no longer physically with us, imagine all of their sacrifice. The sacrifices made so we can witness the strength of a woman standing in her power, reimagining what leadership is. For all the men and women in this room and watching around the country, we need you.”
Beyoncé’s appearance added to the long list of celebrities who’ve spoken or performed at Harris’ rallies. Thus far, celebrities like Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, Knowles, Quavo, Halle Bailey and Usher are among the many who have lent their support to the Oakland, California, native.
Thomas Tuchel has been appointed England manager from 1 January 2025.
The 51-year-old German becomes the third non-British permanent manager of the men’s team after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.

Lee Carsley, who was appointed interim manager in August, will remain in charge for the Nations League matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland next month.
English coach Anthony Barry will be Tuchel’s assistant.
The Football Association said Tuchel was the “preferred candidate” from the “several candidates” interviewed.
It said the FA board approved the decision last week and Tuchel signed a contract on 8 October.
Former Everton player, Alan Stubbs has warned the Premier League club against hiring Jose Mourinho as their next manager.
There have been speculations that Everton’s incoming owners want to bring Mourinho to Goodison Park.
The Friedkin Group’s takeover of Everton is currently going through after they reached an agreement to buy Farhad Moshiri’s majority 94 percent stake of the club.
Owner and CEO of the company, Dan Friedkin, is said to be interested in appointing the Portuguese, who is currently the manager of Fernabahce.
Mourinho has managed the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United, Inter Milan and Porto in the past.
However, Stubbs believes Mourinho, 61, is not the same manager who was regarded as one of the best in the world in the past.
“If Everton were going to appoint the Mourinho of old, the young Mourinho who was so successful and charismatic, then I would say yes bring him into the football club, and without being disrespectful to Sean Dyche, I think most Everton fans would because peak Mourinho was a very special manager,” Stubbs told BestBettingSites.
“If Everton were going to move for him now, I don’t think it would be a good move to be honest.
“His last few spells in management haven’t really worked out for him. He still provides that bit of sparkle.”
