Beyoncé fans were left furious after the singer failed to perform at a Texas rally for Kamala Harris.
The star took to the stage in her native Houston to endorse the Vice President on Friday night.
Some fans had waited more than 12 hours before packing into the citys Shell Energy Stadium expecting a performance, after rumors she would sing swirled online and were reported in the Washington Post.
The singer appeared to come tantalizingly close to delighting the crowds when she began to talk about how it is time for America to sing a new song.
However, rallygoers were ultimately left disappointed when the Single Ladies hitmaker made a brief appearance in which she said she was not there as a celebrity, but as a mother.
