Lady Gaga and Katy Perry perform at Kamala Harris' 2024 election concert

Gaga was one of many prominent names at Harris' multi-city rally on election night, which also featured Katy Perry, Jon Bon Jovi, Christina Aguilera and others in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, Las Vegas and Milwaukee.

“For more than half of this country’s life, women have not had a voice,” Gaga told the crowd after her performance. “Yet we raised children, we held our families together, we supported men in their decisions – but tomorrow women will be involved in that decision.”

She continued, “Today I hold in my heart all the tough, stubborn women who made me who I am.” I cast my vote for someone who will be a president for all, for all Americans. “

The pop star then introduced Doug Emhoff, who spoke to the crowd about his wife's readiness for the White House. Oprah Winfrey followed him and introduced the vice president.
