Beyonce and Jay Z are taking their civic duty to heart -- they hosted a FREE concert in Cleveland, Ohio in support of Hillary Clinton's presidential bid, on Friday night. The power couple implored fans to get out and vote, with some poignant speeches to motivate fans. Beyonce told the crowd: "I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country and know that her possibilities are limitless. We have to think about the future of our daughters, our sons, and vote for someone who cares for them as much as we do. And that is why I'm with her."
As Hillary took the stage and hugged the Carters, she thanked them for organizing and hosting the concert, which also featured Big Sean, Chance the Rapper and J Cole at the Wolstein Center. Clinton thanked the crowd for inspiring her: "When I see them here, this passion and energy and intensity, I don't even know where to begin. Because this is what America is, my friends."
She went on to invoke Jay Z's lyrics to the song "My President": "Remember Jay memorably said something we should all recall: Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther could walk. Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run and Barack Obama ran so all the children can fly."
Beyonce and Jay Z aren't the only celebs to take to the stage in support of Hillary, Jennifer Lopez headlined a concert in Florida, Katy Perry will perform tonight in Pennsylvania, along with Stevie Wonder; Bon Jovi will hold a concert in North Carolina on Sunday and NeYo performed there on Tuesday.
