The much-coveted Beyoncé endorsement comes months after Democrats were devastated by her no-show at the Democratic National Convention over the summer.
Harris uses Beyoncé’s ‘Freedom’ as her walk-up song at campaign rallies.
In August, rumors swirled that the Queen B herself would be making an appearance at the convention in Chicago ahead of Harris accepting the nomination.
Her team and the campaign did not dismiss the rumors sparking widespread excitement.
But it did not happen leaving thousands of party members and millions of viewers watching on TV disappointed.
Attendees brought their own chairs to rest in while they waited and carried umbrellas to protect them from the Texas sun.
Inside the stadium a dance party was underway with thousands of people joining in as a DJ blasted music and people busted a move while they waited.
The rally with Beyoncé and Nelson comes as the final NYTimes/Siena poll on Friday showed the race with Trump tied with 48 percent each. A CNN poll also showed the race tied with both Harris and Trump at 47 percent.
