You're about to hear a lot of Beyoncé on the campaign trail

Beyoncé at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in April.
  • Beyoncé Knowles has given Kamala Harris permission to campaign to one of her beloved anthems.
  • Harris will be able to use 2016's "Freedom" throughout her presidential bid, CNN reports.
  • Knowles hasn't formally endorsed Harris just yet.

It seems like we can count the new Democratic frontrunner as a member of the Beyhive.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the likely Democratic nominee, walked out to "Freedom" — a popular anthem by Beyoncé Knowles — during a visit to her campaign headquarters Monday night.

Knowles' reps gave Harris permission to use the song hours before the appearance, CNN reported, adding Harris has also gotten the okay to use the song throughout her campaign.

"Freedom" features Kendrick Lamar, and the track appeared on Knowles' 2016 album "Lemonade."

Lyrics include: "I break chains all by myself / Won't let my freedom rot in hell / Hey! I'mma keep running 'cause a winner don't quit on themselves."

Knowles hasn't formally endorsed Harris — though she has supported the Democratic ticket in the past four elections. Reps for Beyoncé did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

She sang at President Barack Obama's inaugural ball in 2009 and at his inauguration in 2013, performed at a Hillary Clinton rally in 2016, and encouraged her Instagram followers to vote for Joe Biden in 2020.

CNN notes Knowles' mother, Tina Knowles, has officially endorsed Harris, applauding her as "youthful" and "sharp."

Harris is on track to take over the Democratic ticket for president after President Joe Biden announced Sunday he was withdrawing from the race.

She's already hit the ground running, raising a staggering $81 million in donations from energized Democratic voters in the first 24 hours of her candidacy. Meanwhile, Harris' top Democratic rivals have cleared the way for her to lock up the nomination.
