AceShowbiz - Beyonce Knowles continues leveraging her star power across politics. As part of her ongoing support, the R&B diva has released a new video set to her song "Ya Ya", further cementing her endorsement of Harris, before the polls close on Election Day.
But that's not all. Beyonce took her support to another level with a striking visual statement. She donned a red Baywatch swimsuit, reminiscent of Pamela Anderson's iconic look, in an effort to rally U.S. citizens to vote in the presidential election.
In a rare music video for her song "Bodyguard" from "Cowboy Carter", the clip titled "Beywatch" pays homage to Anderson and features Beyonce poised with a toy gun bearing the message "vote." She also embraced another of Anderson's roles, donning sleek black attire as a nod to Anderson's character in the 1996 film "Barb Wire".
While Pamela Anderson shared the post on her Instagram story adorned with a heart emoji and quipped, "Don't call me Bey," it's clear that Beyonce's move was both a heartfelt tribute and a call to action. Despite previously stating to GQ magazine that she avoids making music videos for her albums "Renaissance" and "Cowboy Carter" to prevent overshadowing the quality of the music, this release carried a powerful message aligned perfectly with the election season.
Additionally, the two-and-a-half-minute video nods to Halloween with the closing text "Happy Beylloween" followed by "Vote," blending elements of pop culture with political advocacy. By engaging her audience this creatively, Beyonce joins other celebrities like Eminem, Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen in the movement to support Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.
Just last month, Beyonce appeared at a rally for Harris, where she appealed passionately to the crowd, "For all the men and women in this room, and watching around the country, we need you." She emphasized her position as a mother, highlighting the significance of Harris' leadership for future generations, saying, "the sacrifices made so we can witness the strength of a woman ... reimagining what leadership is."
In an era where celebrity endorsements hold substantial sway, Beyonce's vibrant and engaging support for Kamala Harris injects a sense of urgency and responsibility. Her creative fusion of entertainment and political advocacy resonates with young people, urging them to fulfill their civic duties in a meaningful and memorable way.
