Beyoncé reminds fans to vote on the surprise release of her “Bodyguard” music video.
Beyoncé is full of surprises. This morning, Queen Bey surprised fans with the release of her album music video for his single “Bodyguard”. Fulfilling Beyhive’s persistent request for visuals to accompany her last two albums, “Renaissance” and “Cowboy Carter,” the singer encouraged viewers to vote on Election Day.
In the video titled “Beywatch,” Beyoncé recreates some of actress Pamela Anderson’s most iconic looks while singing along to her song “Bodyguard.” As a tribute to Anderson, the star shares a political message in a scene where the word “VOTE” appears on a flag extending from a toy gun.
However, this will not be the first time Beyoncé has encouraged her fans to exercise their right to vote. Last month, the superstar, her mother Tina Knowles and Kelly Rowland attended a Harris-Walz campaign rally in Houston, Texas, where the star shared her official endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Beyoncé gained support months after she allowed Harris to use her song “Freedom” in her campaign. In July, Harris hit the 2016 track during her first official visit to her campaign headquarters. Beyoncé’s song “Freedom,” which eventually became Harris-Walz’s official campaign song, was played at rallies across the country, including at the Democratic National Convention.
Just as the star used her music to support Harris’ presidential campaign, Beyoncé encouraged voters to “sing a new song,” emphasizing that the right to vote is “one of our most valuable tools.”
“Our generations of loved ones whisper to us a prophecy, a mission, a calling and an anthem,” she added in her speech. “Our moment is now. It’s time for America to sing a new song. Our voices sing a song of unity. They sing a song of dignity and possibility. Are you ready to add your voice to a new American song? Because I am. So let’s do it!”
