Disappointment Over Celebrity Expectations
Expectations for celebrity appearances at political events can lead to significant disappointment among supporters. There was widespread anticipation that Beyoncé would perform at the Democratic National Convention, especially given her past support for the party, leading many to feel let down when she did not appear. Instead, Vice President Kamala Harris walked on stage to Beyoncé's song without the expected introduction from the superstar. This shift illustrates the manipulation of celebrity culture in politics, where the promise of star power is used to galvanize support, but in the end, the audience was left feeling deceived.
