This ain’t Texas—it’s the Democratic National Convention.
Beyoncé‘s rep is laying the cards down, down, down, down and shutting down rumors that the singer is making a surprise appearance Aug. 22 at the Chicago political event—held to celebrate Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 U.S. presidential elections, as well as her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
“Beyoncé was never scheduled to be there,” the rep told The Hollywood Reporter. “The report of a performance is untrue.”
Although she didn’t take the stage at the DNC, other stars addressed the crowd, including Pink, Kerry Washington, Maren Morris and Mindy Kaling—who even offered a supportive message to fellow Massachusettsans Ben Affleck amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
“I couldn’t leave here without giving a shoutout to the amazing delegation from my home state, Massachusetts,” she shared on Aug. 21, the second day of the three-day convention. “I love you, Massachusetts. Everyone is always hating on us, but they just don’t get it.”
