“Where’s Beyoncé?” was the popular question among many fans on Thursday night during the last night of Chicago’s Democratic Convention. After rumors spread that the singer would hit the stage to sing Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign song “Freedom” as she officially accepted her presidential nomination, a lot of people were bummed when the pop star was not part of the festivities. But hey, at least the source that published the rumor, TMZ, has a sense of humor.
Check out what the source wrote on Thursday night when the DNC concluded without Beyoncé anywhere in view: To quote the great Beyonce: We gotta lay our cards down, down, down ...
we got this one wrong. August 23, 2024 TMZ hilariously referenced Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter hit “Texas Hold ‘Em” in a post where they admitted they “got this one wrong.” Oops.
Now let’s go back and talk about how it all went down. What Was The Latest Beyoncé Rumor? As TMZ reported just hours before the massive event, “multiple sources” had told the source Beyoncé was in Chicago and ready to be part of Kamala Harris’ milestone night the officially places her as the Democratic nominee. The site suggested that the Chicago police department was “on high alert” during the singer’s appearance and were heavily in the tight security needed to temporarily make the DNC a Beyoncé concert.
The article came out following previous rumors that had not only Beyoncé singing at the event, but as an upcoming Taylor Swift appearance as well after she wrapped the European leg of the Eras Tour earlier this week. Neither pop star graced Chicago with their presence, but P!NK and The Chicks did perform, and there were a few celebrities that did join in between speeches in the form of Kerry Washington and Eva Longoria . How Fans Reacted To It Being Wrong Since Beyoncé’s appearances are few and far between these days, many of her fans were hoping to see the singer on stage for the DNC.
