Kamala Harris' Pittsburgh rally on November 4, was joined by Katy Perry. In the event, which happened a day before the Presidential elections, the singer performed some of her hit tracks including Firework, Part of Me, and Dark Horse.

She also performed her cover version of Whitney Houston's popular song Greatest Love of All. Apart from Katy, a number of other celebrities were at Kamala Harris' Pennsylvania rallies, including Oprah, Christina Aguilera, Bon Jovi, and Lady Gaga.

While Katy sang several hit songs at the rally, a lot of netizens didn't seem to be quite fond of them. Here are some responses found on X:

A user wrote: "Well if Kamala loses, I know who I’m blaming."
"Can the crowd wake up?" questioned another one.
"Not a single person was moved," added a user.

While a lot of netizens expressed their displeasure with the crowd present during the Pittsburgh rally where Katy Perry performed, many came up with a defense claiming that it was a political event and not a concert. Some believed that the performance was actually energizing. A user tweeted:

"Katy Perry's performance must have energized the crowd! Music and politics together can create such a powerful atmosphere for change."
"It's a f*cking political event," read a tweet.
"Katy Perry looks so adorable at kamla harris' rally in Pittsburgh," wrote another netizen.

"I know she will protect my daughter’s future and your children’s future"- said Katy Perry about Kamala Harris on Monday

One of the highlights of Kamala Harris' Pittsburgh rally was popstar Katy Perry's appearance. She performed many of her hit songs which was also followed by a speech. In the speech, Perry spoke about why she decided to vote and endorse Kamala Harris. She addressed the crowd and said:

"Four years ago, I became a mother. Best decision I ever made. Orlando [Bloom] and I, we welcomed our daughter Daisy and she is the reason I am voting for Kamala Harris. I know she will protect my daughter’s future and your children’s future."

Katy has become one of the many artists who have openly endorsed Kamala Harris. The list includes Taylor Swift, Eminem, Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion. Perry further endorsed the current Vice President and Democrat candidate by calling her "fearless." She particularly praised Harris for trying "to protect the rights as women to make decisions about own bodies."

Harris' rallies have been quite star studded and have included appearances by several celebrities over time, including Beyoncé, Oprah, Alicia Keys, and Lady Gaga. Recently, on October 25, Beyoncé appeared at Harris' Houston rally, which was criticized after the artist left the stage without performing.

Both Harris and Trump had finished their campaigns on November 4. While Harris ended it with her rally in Pennsylvania, Trump ended his campaign in Michigan.
