Superstar singer Beyoncé will appear with Democratic US presidential candidate Kamala Harris at a rally in Houston on Friday, two sources told Reuters.
Harris is appearing in Texas, a Republican stronghold, to support Democratic Senate candidate Colin Allred, who trails Republican Ted Cruz in the polls, and talk about abortion rights.
Beyoncé, who is from Houston, is expected to perform, one source said, and will come with her mother Tina Knowles.
Harris has adopted Beyoncé's 'Freedom' as her campaign rally song, and took the stage at Chicago's national Convention in August to the tune.
Beyoncé has reportedly given Harris permission to use the song. She has previously backed Democrats, including President Joe Biden in the last election.
The venue for the rally has not been disclosed.
Texas implemented a first-of-its-kind law in September 2021 that banned abortion after six weeks and allowed anyone to sue abortion patients and those who assisted them.
The US Supreme Court, with a conservative majority formed by Trump's judicial appointments, allowed the law to stand, and then gutted federal abortion rights by overturning Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
