CHICAGO— Hollywood‘s A-list flocked to this week’s Democratic National Convention in support of Vice President Kamala Harris‘s 2024 campaign, which has rejuvenated party members.
Many celebrities appeared to take a more low-key approach to the convention by appearing at private parties for delegates and donors or at sideline meetings. However, the decision of whether mega superstars Beyonce or Taylor Swift will appear center stage at the convention will not known until Thursday evening when Harris is to formally accept the nomination.
At the Nevada delegation breakfast Monday morning, attendees screamed with joy when a speaker implied Beyonce would appear on Thursday night. Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) told the North Carolina delegation on Wednesday that “an unexpected musical guest” would perform before Harris’s speech leading, again, to multiple people to scream.
