    Kamala Harris' presidential campaign is getting a lot more musical.

    Several music superstars, from Lady Gaga and Katy Perry to Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera, will show their support for the vice president with a series of rally appearances ahead of the 2024 presidential election on Tuesday. Harris is running against Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump.

    Martin, who is scheduled to appear at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Monday evening, expressed his enthusiasm for the Democratic candidate in a statement to Rolling Stone.

    “For Latinos, there is more at stake in this election than ever before,” Martin told the medium. “Latinos will be crucial to tomorrow's victory for Vice President Harris, a leader who will stand with us and fight for us as president. I couldn’t be prouder to be with her in Philadelphia tonight.”

    Harris has received numerous endorsements from pop music royalty throughout her campaign, including Megan Thee Stallion, Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Charli XCX and Cardi B, the latter of whom spoke at a rally in Wisconsin on Friday.

    “Just like Kamala Harris, I was the underdog,” Cardi said during her speech at the Wisconsin State Fair Park. “I was underestimated, my success was belittled and discredited. Women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better, and yet people wonder how we got to the top.”

    Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin and more perform in Philadelphia

    It was a night full of Puerto Rican talent in Philadelphia. Before bringing Ricky Martin on stage for an electrifying performance, Fat Joe took the stage and declared, “Yo soy Boricua, para que tu lo sepa,” which translates to “I'm Boricua, just so you know.”

    He added: “I heard they needed a Puerto Rican in Philly and I was so happy to be here and represent Puerto Ricans. Tonight I'll keep it short and sweet; it’s all about pride.”

    The New York rapper also spoke about the reasons why his vote goes to Harris and why he believes she should be the next President of the USA: “Kamala Harris is for us. “It’s for unity, it’s for all Americans – black, white, tall, short, Latino, whatever,” Fat Joe said. “She’s for us. One thing I wouldn't do is sell my soul for anyone. If I’m out here telling you she’s the one, it’s because I know she’s the one.”

    On stage at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Martin performed “Livin' la Vida Loca” and other hits at an event that featured Oprah Winfrey and Harris herself.

    During his final song, he implored the audience: “Please vote to help our democracy; it’s a vote for Kamala.”

    Perry showed her support for the Harris campaign with an appearance at Carrie Blast Furnaces in Pittsburgh. She performed her hits “Dark Horse,” “Part of Me” and “Firework.”

    At the end of her appearance, Perry supported Harris: “Four years ago I became a mother… She is the reason I am voting for Kamala Harris. I know she will protect the future of my daughter and your children.”

    Soul-pop powerhouse Andra Day and DJ D-Nice also performed.

    James Taylor, Fantasia, more, performs in North Carolina

    James Taylor showed his support for Harris with an appearance in Raleigh, North Carolina.

    The folk-rock icon's appearance follows his no-show at the Democratic National Convention in August. Taylor was scheduled to take the stage as part of the convention's Day 1 opener, but scheduling delays apparently resulted in his appearance being scrapped.

    Other performances in North Carolina include “American Idol” alum Fantasia Barrino, country group Sugarland and pop singer Remi Wolf.

    Chloë Grace Moretz supports Harris: The actress shares that she is a “gay woman.”

    Jon Bon Jovi rocks out at the Harris Rally in Detroit

    Rock icon Jon Bon Jovi will deliver an electrifying performance at Hart Plaza in Detroit. The rally will feature Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and his wife Gwen.

    Bon Jovi was also on the safe side for the Harris election with a performance in Atlanta on Sunday. The Grammy-winning singer sang an acoustic rendition of his band's '80s classic “Livin' on a Prayer.”

    Other artists who took the stage in Michigan included country duo The War and Treaty and the Detroit Youth Choir.

    Christina Aguilera turns heads at the Harris rally in Las Vegas

    With a performance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Aguilera lent her signature vocal acrobatics to Harris' election celebration. Regional Mexican band Los Tigres del Norte and EDM duo Sofi Tukker also performed.
