DNC Surprise Guest: Beyoncé Said to Be in Chicago as Taylor Swift Rumors Swirl

22

Beyonce is in Chicago and will make an appearance on the final night of the Democratic National Convention, TMZ reported Thursday evening, as rumors that Taylor Swift could fly in after wrapping up her European tour continued.

Neither superstar’s camp has confirmed their plans, nor have they scheduled any public appearances. Fans on social media have also noticed a gap in the DNC schedule, which some believe could be allotted time for either the Shake It Off or Single Ladies singers — or both.

 

Swift, 34, finished the European leg of her Eras Tour on Tuesday. Reddit users claim her private jet has since returned to Nashville — which is a little over an hour and a half flight to The Windy City.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé, 42, launched her new whisky brand Sir Davis on Tuesday. Her Renaissance World Tour ended in October. Since then, Vice President Kamala Harris has utilized Beyoncé’s 2016 song Freedom in her campaign ads and as her walkout music.

White House Political Director Emmy Ruiz posted an emoji of a bee on X, formerly Twitter, further playing into the rumors that Beyonce is showing up at the DNC to perform.

Harris will deliver a history-making speech on Thursday with performances from Pink and The Chicks. Both Swift and Beyoncé have songs with The Chicks: Swift’s 2019 track Soon You’ll Get Better and Beyoncé’s 2016 Daddy Lessons.

Newsweek has contacted representatives for Swift and Beyoncé for comment.
