Gracie Abrams, members of The National and more to perform at Kamala Harris’ Wisconsin rally this week
Gracie Abrams, members of The National and more have been locked in to perform at an upcoming Kamala Harris rally in Wisconsin this week (October 30) – find out more below.
Last night (October 27), Abrams took to social media to share a poster for Harris’ upcoming When We Vote We Win rally in Madison, Wisconsin. Abrams confirmed her presence at the rally, where she will be performing alongside The National’s Aaron Dessner and Matt Berninger.
Also set to perform on October 30 are Mumford & Sons and Remi Wolf.
The news comes shortly after Beyoncé appeared at Harris’ Houston rally on October 25. Speaking at the rally, Beyoncé said: “I’m not here as a celebrity; I’m not here as a politician; I’m here as a mother. A mother who cares—deeply—about the world my children and all of our children live in. A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies. A world where we’re not divided: our past, our present, our future merge to meet us here.”
“Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations. Imagine our grandmothers, imagine what they feel right now. those who have lived to see this historic day. Even those who are no longer physically with us – imagine all of their sacrifice, the sacrifices made so we can witness the strength of a woman standing in her power, reimagining what leadership is.”
Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish have previously endorsed Harris specifically for her stance on reproductive rights, with Eilish approving her song ‘When the Party’s Over’ for a Democrat advertisement on reproductive care.
Prior to last night’s rally, Beyoncé personally approved of Harris’ use of ‘Freedom’, from her 2016 album ‘Lemonade’ as the official anthem for her presidential campaign.
Other famous faces that are backing Harris include Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Megan Thee Stallion, P!nk, Bon Iver, Quavo and Finneas.
In a four-star review of Abrams’ ‘The Secret of Us’, Hannah Mylrea wrote for NME: “It’s a moment of pure pop catharsis that leans into the good, bad and messy of infatuation. This is the joy of ‘The Secret of Us’: it doesn’t shy away from the complex or contradictory. Here Gracie Abrams embraces her growing pains and celebrates enduring the difficult moments. She’s never sounded better.”
