Beyoncé Urges Fans to Vote for Joe Biden
One day before the official 2020 U.S. Presidential Election, Beyoncé has a powerful word for her fans: vote. The Houston-born and raised musician posted a Boomerang on Instagram, and matched her head-to-toe, Olivier Rousteing-designed Balmain ensemble with a Joe Biden and Kamala Harris face mask and an "I voted" sticker.
The message comes at a time when American Democrats are hoping to turn the L'OFFICIEL star's homestate of Texas blue—or at the very least purple. Long thought of impossible, the southern state's political standing might very well swing left this electorial year thanks to the success of Beto O'Rourke and other senatorial and local wins from the 2018 primaries.
Of course, this isn't the first time Beyoncé has made a political statement. Her 2016 Super Bowl halftime performance was a powerful homage to the Black Panthers, and later that year she made a pointed endorsement for Hillary Clinton at a rally with husband Jay Z.
