The race for the White House is becoming more intense than ever when President Joe Biden announced that he would not run for re-election, all attention immediately turned to the leading candidate of the Democratic Party, Ms. Kamala Harris. Notably, many famous stars quickly stood by her, turning Harris’ campaign into a “hot” event in the entertainment and political world. Below is a list of A-list stars who have used their influence to support this potential female politician.

Billie Eilish and FINNEAS

On National Voter Registration Day, the O’Connell brothers made headlines when they posted a video on social media expressing their strong support for the Harris-Walz campaign. “We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are standing strong for reproductive freedom and our democracy,” Billie Eilish said in a candid statement. FINNEAS added : “We cannot let extremists dictate our lives, our liberties, and our futures. The only power we have to stop them is our vote… and that means electing Kamala Harris.”  The video quickly garnered millions of interactions, becoming a powerful political message in the context of a tense election.

Taylor Swift

The Queen of Pop made social media explode when she officially confirmed her support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on Instagram on the evening of September 10, just hours after the heated debate between Harris and Donald Trump. “I chose to vote for Kamala Harris because I believe this country needs a true warrior to protect the rights of the people. She is a strong leader, and I believe we will achieve more when led by someone who is both steadfast and undaunted by pressure .” The singer also did not forget to praise Tim Walz – Harris’s running mate in the race, emphasizing that he has been steadfast in protecting LGBTQ+ rights and women’s reproductive rights for decades. With the backing of a cultural icon like her, the Harris-Walz campaign has attracted millions of supporters, fueling this fierce election.
Carole King

The legendary singer couldn’t hide her excitement when expressing her belief in a successful presidential term if Kamala Harris wins. To prove this, she shared a photo of herself with Harris on Facebook with the caption: “Right person. Right time. I stand with Kamala Harris.”  This short but powerful message not only shows her solidarity with the female candidate but also serves as an inspirational call to action for her fan community, sending hope for a bright future under Kamala’s leadership. The public endorsement of a global music icon will certainly add a big boost to the campaign, attracting more attention and heated discussions in the political and media world.

John Legend

John Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, a famous model and writer, have long been known as advocates for progressive ideas and social justice. The famous couple immediately announced their support for Kamala Harris in the election campaign. “I am grateful and respectful to Biden for showing his patriotism by choosing to step aside for the good of our country,” Legend emphasized in an Instagram post, “I will be voting for Kamala… She is ready to fight this fight and we are happy to support her in any way we can.” The statement of John Legend – an artist with influence not only in music but also in social movements – has given strength and confidence to Harris’ supporters. 

Megan Thee Stallion and Quavo

On July 30, two stars Megan Thee Stallion and Quavo joined Vice President Kamala Harris to shine at a vibrant event held at the State Convention Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Megan’s passionate performance not only stirred up the atmosphere but also carried a powerful message. “I’m so happy to be here in Atlanta. We’re about to make history with the first black female president. Support Harris!” – the female rapper did not hesitate to call for enthusiastic support from the crowd.

As for Quavo, he made his stance clear early on by co-hosting an anti-gun violence summit with the Vice President in June. With a decisive demeanor, the rapper delivered a powerful message: “You can’t understand the fight against gun violence and gun violence unless you’ve been there and seen the consequences firsthand. One thing I’ve learned from Ms. Harris is that she’s always on the side of the people .” Quavo also encouraged young voters: “If you haven’t voted, get out there and vote for Kamala Harris!” 
Barack and Michelle Obama

Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama called Kamala Harris directly to express their strong support, turning the conversation into an emotional reunion of leaders who have made and are making history. “We couldn’t be more proud to support Kamala and do everything we can to help her through this race,” former President Obama said sincerely, like a big brother sending words of encouragement to a close colleague. Michelle Obama added: “I’m proud of you. This is going to be historic.” The call was filled with sincerity and mutual respect, but also an air of excitement as all three understood that they were on the brink of a watershed moment. The sight of Barack and Michelle Obama standing shoulder to shoulder with Kamala Harris was a promise that Harris was not just running for office, but writing a new chapter in American history.

Beyoncé

Beyoncé has shown her support for Kamala Harris in a particularly subtle way: allowing the use of her hit “Freedom” during the politician’s first visit to campaign headquarters on July 22, 2024. According to CNN, the superstar quickly nodded in agreement, giving Harris the green light to use the song with its powerful message of freedom and struggle. Just three days later, the iconic song resounded dramatically in Kamala Harris’s first campaign video, turning every note and every line into a powerful statement of her commitment and determination on her journey to conquer the most powerful seat in America. When a global star like Beyoncé stands behind Harris, this is more than just a tactical nod. It is a clear affirmation: leading voices in popular culture are also looking forward to the future of an America that Harris represents – free, fair, and hopeful.
Cardi B

Cardi B has made it clear that she has been supporting Kamala Harris since before Joe Biden officially dropped out of the race. During a livestream in June, the rapper bluntly stated, “We should pass the torch to Kamala. The timing is perfect.” After Biden dropped out of the race, Cardi took the opportunity to emphasize her vision with an Instagram post: “Of course Kamala should be the candidate in 2024!” As an artist who has always been vocal about politics and social issues, Cardi B has not only made an impression with her music but also with her sharp and direct views. Her support for Kamala Harris from the very beginning has helped the politician’s campaign gain special attention from Cardi’s large fan base.

Ariana Grande and Katy Perry

Immediately after Joe Biden posted his official support for Kamala Harris, Ariana Grande immediately showed her support by re-sharing the post on her personal Instagram Story. Not only did she do that, the singer also cleverly encouraged her millions of fans to vote by including a link to the Headcount website – an organization that promotes voter registration and participation in elections. With each click, Ariana’s message not only spread widely but also created a wave of calls to action, especially from young people, contributing significantly to the momentum of Harris’ campaign.

No less creative, Katy Perry showed her support in her own unique way when she re-shared a fan-edited photo of Kamala Harris, cleverly combined with the cover of her single “Woman’s World” – her 2024 song with a strong feminist message. The photo, posted not only implicitly declared her support for the female politician but also reminded of a deeper message: This is the time for women’s voices to be honored and protected.

Maren Morris

After strongly endorsing the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020, country star Maren Morris is taking a more assertive stance, standing by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 race. An emotional performance on the second night of the Democratic National Convention, the musician took to the stage to sing “Better Than We Found It,” a lyrical yet combative song that calls for change and a better future. By choosing this song to perform at a national political event, Morris’s message seemed clear: she not only supports Harris, but also hopes that the politician will become the next US President. A few weeks earlier, in an interview with USA Today, Maren had not hesitated to express her admiration for Harris: “I campaigned for Kamala. I met her and she’s a great person. I feel empowered to vote.” Morris’ heartfelt words not only express her support but also reflect her hope for a future with Harris leading the way.
