Flurries of speculation that Beyoncé would make an appearance during the last evening of the Democratic National Convention proved false.
Beyoncé’s publicist confirmed in a post to Instagram that the winner of Grammy award-winner would not perform at the DNC, despite being widely rumored to make a surprise-entrance onstage before Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech to formally accept her party’s nomination.
The singer’s name had been teased as the DNC’s guest performer by the White House’s political director in a post on X and was supposedly confirmed later on Thursday by the entertainment media site TMZ.
On Thursday evening, however, Harris’s acceptance speech at the United Center in Chicago came and went with no Beyoncé.
