American pop star Beyonce will perform on Thursday, the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, reported Reuters, citing entertainment website TMZ. The same night, Vice President Kamala Harris will accept the Democratic Party nomination for the upcoming US Presidential Election 2024.

So far, Beyonce's performance at the DNC has not been confirmed. However, there were hints of Beyonce's possible appearance at the programme after Kamala Harris adopted her “Freedom” song for a campaign rally. She also took the stage in Chicago on Monday to the tune. According to news agency Reuters, Beyonce has reportedly allowed VP Harris to use the song in her presidential election campaign.

Beyonce representative denies reports 

Amid speculations about Beyonce's performance, a representative of the American pop singer has denied reports that she will perform on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Thursday, reported Reuters citing Hollywood Reporter.

There was no official confirmation or denial after the entertainment website TMZ and The Hill reported the singer would perform to cap off the night, when Vice President Kamala Harris formally accepts the Democratic Party nomination.

"Beyoncé was never scheduled to be there," a representative for the singer told The Hollywood Reporter. "The report of a performance is untrue."

Democratic National Convention

Kamala Harris' confirmation as Democratic nominee for the upcoming Presidential election will be the key highlight of the final night of the convention on Thursday.

Harris' address in Chicago caps a whirlwind eight weeks in American politics and manifests the stunning reversal of Democratic fortunes just 75 days until Election Day. Party leaders, who had publicly despaired over President Joe Biden's candidacy after his disastrous debate against Trump, were jubilant both at the historic nature of Harris' candidacy and their buoyed hopes for this November.
