Just a few weeks into her presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris is already drawing major star power. We’re talking about Megan Thee Stallion, Quavo, Stacy Abrams, and more, all sharing the stage for one purpose: to elect the first woman president of the United States.
The star-studded event happened on July 30 in Atlanta. Scroll for event details and pictures.
Several historic and viral moments occurred in front of a crowd of nearly 10,000, according to the campaign, starting with Meg. After rumors of her possible participation over the last few days, the official Hot Girl Coach headlined the event, causing a stir as only she can.
The “Hiss” rapper energized the crowd with a medley of her popular hits and dance moves. Megan slayed in a striking royal blue suit, crop white blouse, and a black tie.
“We about to make history with the first female president, the first Black female president,” Megan told the excited audience, swinging long dark tresses. “Let’s get this done, hotties. Hotties for Harris!”

“And if you wanna keep loving your bodies, ladies, let me hear you make some noise,” she encouraged, possibly alluding to several contentious campaign issues, such as a woman’s right to choose.
Megan Thee Stallion is no stranger to fighting for women’s rights and reproductive justice. In April, she was honored at the PPGNY Annual Spring Into Action Gala with the Catalyst of Change Award for her unwavering advocacy of women’s rights.
“I just wanna kick this off by saying, my body my business, and I do what I wanna do with it!” She said after while accepting her award. “I know I was placed on this earth to be more than just a musician, and I have a bigger purpose to use my voice to speak out against injustice. Soon, it will be two years since the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion. It feels like women have to fight harder than ever to make their own choices regarding their own bodies, families, and futures.”
The Migos rapper took to the mic to emphasize the importance of addressing gun violence. “One of the issues I care about is resolving the gun violence issue,” Quavo stated.
“And you can’t understand the struggles of gun violence if you’re not in the field or in the heart of it. So one thing I learned about working with Vice President Harris is she always stands on business. From inviting me to the White House last year to discuss these solutions to passing the biggest gun safety laws today.”
He concluded his speech with a heartfelt tribute to his late brother and fellow Migos artist, Takeoff, saying, “And in the words of my brother Takeoff, let me get a ‘Kamala.’”
Adding to the rally’s momentum, former gubernatorial candidate Abrams joined Vice President Harris on stage. The presence of the two elicited enthusiastic responses from the audience. Together they highlighted the significance of Harris’s candidacy and a potential change in the status quo.
At times, the crowd cheered “Stacy” and “Kamala” to support the powerhouse political players.

During the rally, Vice President Harris directed remarks at her assumed opponent, Donald Trump. “Well, Donald, I do hope you’ll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage,” she challenged. “Because as the saying goes, if you got something to say, then say it to my face.”
The crowd, including fans, voters, and celebrities, erupted in applause.
Several Atlanta celebrities and influencers attended the Tuesday evening rally, including former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Sheree Whitfield.
With high-profile endorsements, relatable messages, and an onslaught of donations and volunteers, Vice President Harris’ campaign kickoff in Atlanta is a clear sign of the coming months. Vice President Harris appeared poised, excited, and ready to take on the challenges ahead.
