    HOUSTON– Beyoncé Knowles-Carter told an energetic crowd Friday that she wouldn’t attend Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign rally as a celebrity, but her fame still made an impact.

    Even before the creator of “Cowboy Carter” graced the stage to support Harris Along with her mother, Tina Knowles, and longtime friend and collaborator Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé’s influence was felt outside and throughout the place.

    Excitement and a sense of pride permeated the air as fans lined up before the event outside Shell Energy Stadium in Houston.

    Harris faces former President Donald Trump in the race for President of the United States. Election Day is in 10 days, November 5.

    Charelle Fluker, 25, said she had already signed up for Harris’ rally before she knew Beyoncé would be there. She came to celebrate who she hopes will be the first black woman to become president, and an appearance by Beyoncé was a bonus.

    Meanwhile, Cassidi Williams, 27, said Beyoncé definitely influenced her interest in the rally. It wasn’t until she learned the superstar would be there that she signed up. She said the event “feels like home.”

    The energy continued throughout the night inside the 22,000-capacity venue, as a unifying moment of “silent defiance” kicked off the gathering with nearly the entire crowd world going silent during part of Beyoncé’s 2016 hit “Energy,” as the song suggests.

    Tatiana Urdialez, 17, from Houston, told the boisterous crowd that she encouraged her entire family to vote for Harris to fight for their own rights. She said Beyoncé was an added “incentive.”

    Haley Wyatt, 19, a first-time voter, shares similar sentiments. She said the evening was all about the Democratic nominee who she hopes will be the first black woman president. However, Wyatts said that “Cowboy Carter” creator was the “icing on the cake.”

    Isaiah Alston, 26, summed up the impact of a superstar like Beyoncé.

    “I’m a huge Beyoncé fan, but I think the big win is that those who came for Beyoncé get to hear and see the impact of Kamala Harris,” he said.

    It was obvious that others were just as excited about Beyoncé. Some people arrived in their silver outfits, a clear reference to the singer’s “Renaissance” era.

    Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, brought the crowd to their feet as she spoke about her pride in H-Town and the importance of showing up.

    “It’s been powerful to encourage young people and my own children,” she said before introducing Beyoncé and Rowland.

    Beyoncé said it’s impossible not to “feel the energy in this room” on the cusp of what she calls the threshold of history.

    Of course, she made sure to shout out her hometown, neighborhood by neighborhood. She also spoke about her own star power and her intention to take it to the back burner at the party. “I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,” she said. .
