Beyoncé endorses Kamala Harris for president at Houston rally

And Beyonce returns the favour.
Almost seven months after Vice President Kamala Harris cheered on Beyoncé’s newly released album, "Cowboy Carter," saying she had "redefined a genre and reclaimed country music’s Black roots," the global superstar said it was time for "America to sing a new song" and elect Harris. 

On Friday, Beyoncé, who was joined by singer and actress Kelly Rowland, declared her support for Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, at a rally focused on abortion rights in her hometown of Houston. Texas has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country. 
"We are at the precipice of an incredible shift," she said. "Your vote is one of the most valuable tools, and we need you." "Our moment is right now. It's time for America to sing a new song," the Beyoncé added. "A song that began 248 year ago." 

The pop star said she was not there as a celebrity or a politician. 
"I'm here as a mother who cares deeply about the world, my children and all of our children," she said. "A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies." 
And with that, the K-Hive and Beyhive are now united, aka the online community supporting Harris and the pop star's fan base, respectively. 
Harris has long been a fan of Beyoncé, as the Beyhive and rallygoers surely know. Harris attended her concert as a sitting vice president and makes her entrance at rallies to “Freedom,” the pop star’s song released in 2016. 

Harris, the country’s first female vice president, is of Indian and Black heritage.
