Beyoncé introduces Team USA amid recent album success, allowing Kamala Harris to use her song in campaign
The Destiny's Child alum is having a patriotism-peppered year. In March, Beyoncé released her eighth studio album "Cowboy Carter." The album is a twang-tinged departure from her previous records inspired by her family's Texas roots and a fractured personal history with the country music industry dating back to the 2016 CMA Awards.
This week, she also granted permission for Vice President Kamala Harris to use her 2016 song "Freedom" in her Democratic presidential campaign for president. The song was used during a visit to her campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday and is the soundtrack to a popular promotional video released by the Harris campaign Thursday.
