But instead of performing at the rally in Houston, the Texas-born singer raised the roof with a passionate and fiery speech to endorse Vice-President Harris in her knifeedge battle with Donald Trump, declaring: "It's time to sing a new song." The pop icon, 43, whose 2016 song Freedom has been used as the Democratic candidate's campaign anthem in a string of TV commercials, drew thunderous cheers as she exclaimed: "We are at the precipice of an incredible shift, the brink of history.

"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.
