Beyonc seems to be signaling her support for Vice President Kamala Harris presidential run through song.

On Monday, Harris made an appearance at her Wilmington, Delaware, campaign headquarters following President Joe Biden s endorsement of her candidacy. As she made her big entrance, the vice president walked out to Freedom , a track off Beyoncs seminal 2016 album, Lemonade.

According to CNN , Beyoncs reps have officially granted Harris permission to use Freedom, which features a guest appearance by rapper Kendrick Lamar , while on the campaign trail ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election.

And the vice president seemingly doubled down on the songs forward-thinking message of self-empowerment in her speech Monday.

What kind of country do we want to live in: A country of freedom, compassion, and rule of law? she told the crowd. Or a country of chaos, fear, and hate?

Though Beyonc has not formally endorsed Harris, she has publicly backed Democratic presidential candidates in the past. In 2013, she performed the National Anthem at President Barack Obama s second inauguration, and three years later, headlined a pre-election concert for 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton .

She endorsed the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020 with a short video posted on Instagram.

As for Harris, she attended the Washington, D.C., stop of Beyoncs Renaissance Tour last summer and has praised the 32-time Grammy winner in interviews. Speaking to People last year, she named Break My Soul, off of Beyoncs 2022 Renaissance album, as her favorite.
