Hollywood in Chicago: Stars to hit up the Windy City amidst rumours of Taylor Swift and Beyonce
The Democratic National Convention is set to be a glittery affair this year, with stars due to descend on Chicago to back the Harris-Walz presidential campaign throughout the week-long event.
“All of Me” singer John Legend is set to headline a show on Tuesday for Illinois governor JB Pritzker, while Veep and Seinfeld actor Julia Louis-Dreyfus will be hosting a panel with America’s eight female Democratic governors.
Also performing is rock band Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, kicking off at a benefit concert thrown by the Creative Coalition, a Hollywood nonprofit advocacy group.
Actors set to host at the convention include Kerry Washington, Mindy Kaling, Tony Goldwyn and Ana Navarro, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Other names viewers and attendees can keep their eyes peeled for reportedly include Tim Daly, Uzo Aruba, Anthony Anderson, Iain Armitage, Yvette Nicole Brown, David Cross, Jon Cryer, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Danai Gurira, Richard Kind, Busy Philipps and Sheryl Lee Ralph.
It’s sure to be a star-studded week. But there are two names creating by far the most buzz.
You guessed it: Taylor Swift and Beyonce.
With no major performer announced yet, Swifties and Queen B fans are hoping to see the stars at the DNC.
Although neither the DNC nor the stars’ representatives confirmed the women would be performing, according to CNN, fans are keeping their fingers crossed.
Both endorsed the Biden-Harris campaign in 2020, but neither have officially voiced support for Kamala Harris in this year’s presidential election.
That being said, Beyonce did give Harris permission to use her hit song “Freedom” in a video of the Vice President’s first official visit to her campaign’s headquarters – a rarely-bestowed honor.
