This isn’t a real endorsement quote attributed to Beyoncé and Taylor Swift

First were the false claims that singer-songwriter Taylor Swift had announced a fundraising concert with Beyoncé to support Vice President Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic nominee for president.

Then came the rumors that both women would appear Aug. 22 at the Democratic National Convention. 

They didn’t, and they also didn’t announce an endorsement concert. And yet, multiple social media posts recently claimed such "breaking news." 

"Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are about to have a BIG Endorsement Concert," an Aug. 21 Facebook post said. "No more silence, before it’s too late, our voice must be heard NOW!"

"Half of all Ukrainian aid was laundered and sent back to Democrat candidates for re-election."

A representative for Swift didn’t immediately respond to PolitiFact’s questions about the post but we found no evidence, such as credible news reports or public statements from Swift or Beyoncé, to corroborate the claim. 

Searching for the supposed quote attributed to the singers turned up only other social media and blog posts.

Swift and Beyoncé endorsed Joe Biden and Harris in 2020. And Beyoncé gave Harris permission to use her song "Freedom" for Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign. But neither Swift nor Beyoncé had formally endorsed any candidate of Aug. 27.

We rate claims they announced an endorsement concert and said, "No more silence, before it’s too late, our voice must be heard NOW," False.
