Let’s debunk this rumor right away. It was posted on social media that Taylor Swift and Beyonce would perform a benefit concert together for the new Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. This turned out not to be entirely true.
Support Taylor Swift and Beyoncé
These two celebrities have a long-standing friendship and have supported each other’s successes over the years. We’re talking Taylor Swift and Beyonce. In 2021, Beyoncé sent Taylor a book to celebrate her Album Of The Year win for Folklore at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. They’ve both recently attended film premieres from their record-breaking tours. But now, let’s take a look at something completely different.
Taylor and Beyoncé concert?
Recent social media posts claimed that Taylor Swift and Beyoncé were planning to hold a joint benefit concert in support of Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for the 2024 US presidential election. The rumor quickly spread on platforms like X and Facebook, with fans reacting enthusiastically. They were excited to see the two huge artists performing together. The social media story claimed that the two pop icons would use their musical influence to unite people and create positive change by supporting Harris. The concert would be a way to use their platforms to support a leader who wants to make a positive impact on the country.
This news turned out to be false, as a fact-checking website Snopes investigated that there was no evidence for the concert. There were no reports from reliable sources that would support the story. There were also no official announcements made by Taylor Swift or Beyoncé herself. Newsweek even published an article stating that the rumor was false.
Elections
Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have been vocal about their political leanings in the past, most notably during the 2020 election. However, they have not publicly endorsed either candidate in the 2024 election to date. What is known is that Beyoncé made her song “Freedom” available for use during Kamala Harris’ campaign events. To many, it seemed as if Beyoncé might be endorsing Harris. Taylor Swift also expressed her support for Harris in 2020. She quoted a tweet with enthusiasm at the time. Who knows what the future holds.
