Anne Hathaway, the Oscar-winning actress known for her roles in The Devil Wears Prada<\/em> and The Princess Diaries<\/em>, brought her star power and vocal talents to a New York event supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. On Monday, Hathaway delivered a powerful rendition of Queen\u2019s classic hit Somebody to Love<\/em>, a nod to her 2004 film Ella Enchanted<\/em>, where she famously performed the same song. Videos from the event, shared across social media, show the actress captivating the crowd while rallying support for Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Throwback Performance for a Cause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hathaway\u2019s choice of song, Somebody to Love<\/em>, was a fan favorite from Ella Enchanted<\/em>, a jukebox musical that showcased her vocal chops early in her career. But beyond the nostalgia, Hathaway used her platform to speak directly to the crowd about the importance of voting in the upcoming presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a moment that resonated with the audience, Hathaway introduced herself playfully, saying, “Hi, I’m Annie, and I’m a mom,” before emphasizing her support for Kamala Harris. “Also, in case you didn’t know, I am voting for Kamala,” she added to applause. She stressed the importance of engaging with undecided voters, noting, “Isn’t it a relief to be decided?” but reminded the audience that many Americans still haven’t made up their minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her performance transitioned smoothly from a message about voter outreach into the first lyric of the song: “Can anybody find me somebody to love?” Hathaway\u2019s powerful voice combined with her thoughtful commentary created a memorable moment at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rallying Support for Harris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The event, titled “Broadway Rallies for Kamala,” featured Hollywood stars uniting to drum up volunteer support for Kamala Harris\u2019 presidential campaign. Alongside Hathaway, celebrities like Audra McDonald, Billy Porter, and Whoopi Goldberg lent their voices to the cause, encouraging people to get involved by canvassing, phone banking, and talking to undecided voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whoopi Goldberg delivered a rousing speech, urging the crowd to take action. “Get on the phones, knock on doors, and explain to people what is in their best interests\u2014not what they have to do, but what they should do for their families, for their children, for their friends, for the people they don’t know,” Goldberg said, reinforcing the message of outreach and community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrities Show Support for Kamala Harris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anne Hathaway\u2019s performance is just one example of the growing number of celebrities who have thrown their support behind Kamala Harris in the lead-up to the November 5 election. Big names like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Bruce Springsteen have also publicly voiced their support, while stars such as Jeff Bridges, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Mark Hamill participated in virtual fundraisers like “White Dudes for Harris,” which raised $4 million earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other events, such as rallies featuring Breaking Bad<\/em> actor Bryan Cranston, have also helped to build momentum for Harris\u2019 campaign across key battleground states like Arizona. With Hathaway\u2019s performance and the continued support from Hollywood, Harris\u2019 campaign is making a concerted effort to engage voters and inspire participation in the upcoming election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
