Katy Perry is gearing up to perform at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris on the eve of the elections. This event comes just months after Perry was seen with a Tesla Cybertruck, a gift from Elon Musk.
As Perry supports Harris, she joins other prominent artists like Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Ariana Grande, and Eminem, who have also backed the Vice President. Perry’s performance will take place at a high-profile rally in Pennsylvania, which will be livestreamed. This rally is part of a larger campaign effort in critical swing states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
In April, Perry stirred up discussions when she posted a photo with the Cybertruck, thanking Musk for the delivery. Musk responded with a simple “Looks good.” However, many people questioned her support for him, especially after he endorsed Donald Trump following an assassination attempt on the former president.
Perry and Musk have had a unique friendship, with Perry often expressing interest in Musk’s projects, particularly SpaceX. She previously endorsed the Cybertruck and jokingly said she was “ready for Mars” while tagging Musk in an Instagram video. In 2020, she surprised audiences by appearing at Musk’s Space Launch Live event, paying tribute to historic space missions.
Elon Musk has been vocal about his criticisms of Hollywood celebrities who support Harris and attend her rallies. Fans are curious if he will take a similar stance against Perry or if she will be exempt from his criticism.
Adding to the excitement, pop star Lady Gaga will also perform at the Pennsylvania rally. She plans to participate in a “Get Out the Vote” event alongside celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Martin, and Jazmine Sullivan. In a video, Gaga emphasized the importance of voting and expressed her support for Harris with the caption “Harris Walz 2024.”
Current polls indicate a tight race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, with some surveys showing Trump leading by a narrow margin of 0.2 points, according to FiveThirtyEight. Although Harris could potentially win the presidency without Pennsylvania, success in this state is vital. Political analysts believe that if Harris secures Pennsylvania and maintains a lead in Wisconsin and Michigan, her chances of becoming the next president will significantly improve.
