Breathless reports that Beyoncé would perform at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night turned out to be complete baloney.
TMZ cited “multiple sources” in its report claiming “Queen Bey will be the big surprise performer” at the event in Chicago, only to later admit: “We got this one wrong.” The Hill was similarly led astray by its sources, one of whom had even gone so far as claiming they’d personally seen “Beyoncé in Chicago.”
A representative for the iconic musician eventually shut the whole thing down. “Beyoncé was never scheduled to be there,” the rep told The Hollywood Reporter. “The report of a performance is untrue.”
