Update: This story was updated Tuesday afternoon to reflect the new time for Megan Thee Stallion’s performance: 6:30 p.m.
Grammy-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion will deliver a “special performance” at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in Atlanta on Tuesday, bringing star power to the Democrat’s first visit to Georgia since she became her party’s presumptive nominee.
The visit, first reported by Billboard, was confirmed by Harris spokesman Kevin Munoz on Monday.
The vice president’s campaign teased a “special guest” for the Tuesday rally in downtown Atlanta earlier in the week, and an aide said others might soon be announced.
Harris is hoping to energize young voters of color, a bulwark of the coalition that helped President Joe Biden capture Georgia in 2024. Polls show a tight race between Harris and former President Donald Trump in the days since Biden withdrew from the race.
While the final details for Tuesday’s event haven’t been released, Megan Thee Stallion announced the news on Instagram, posting a flyer that lists 7:30 p.m. as the time for her performance. On Tuesday afternoon, she posted a new time for her show: 6:30 p.m. Her performance will be livestreamed and can be viewed here.
“ATL hotties see you tomorrow,” she wrote in her original post on Monday.
The Houston rapper performed in Atlanta earlier this month, after rescheduling her original shows due to massive water main breaks downtown.
Megan Thee Stallion is the latest musician to show their support for the vice president, along with pop stars like Charli XCX, Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan. Last week, Harris used Beyoncé's “Freedom” as her campaign song.
