Beyoncé has spoken at a Houston rally for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, telling the crowd: “I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother.” Beyoncé arrived onstage late Friday with her Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland. “Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations,” Beyoncé said. Houston is her hometown, and Harris’ presidential campaign has taken on Beyonce’s 2016 track “Freedom,” a cut from her 2016 landmark album, “Lemonade,” as its anthem. She didn’t perform. In 2016, she performed at a presidential campaign rally for Hilary Clinton in Cleveland.
