At the Democratic candidate’s rally in Detroit, Michigan on Saturday, Lizzo expressed her backing for Kamala Harris by calling her “Mrs. Commander-In-Chief” and urging attendees to vote early as a “power move.” She also made a nod to her popular song “About Damn Time.”
“This is the swing state of all swing states, so every last vote here counts,” she said at the event. “If you ask me if America is ready for its first woman president, I only have one thing to say: “It’s about damn time!” She also used her speech to speak about how much she loves her hometown of Detroit. “Put some respect on Detroit’s name,” she said at one point.
It’s not the first time Lizzo has spoken out in support of the current Vice President. Firing back at critics of Harris’ tenure in the position during a recent post on Instagram, Lizzo said: “Please, for $5,000. Do not use Google. Tell me what any vice president has ever done during their term that was notable that you noticed.”
As for Harris’ comments at the rally in Detroit, she spoke about the greatness of the city while also deriding her opponent, Donald Trump. “Somebody just needs to watch his rallies, if you’re not really sure how to vote,” she remarked. Galvanizing her supporters to get out and vote, next month, she added: “What I think we all know is on Election Day, we don’t want to have any regrets about what we could have done … at the end of that day, we’re going to look at each other and we’re going to say, yes, the power was with the people, and we made a difference.”
