CHICAGO/SACRAMENTO (Dagbladet): Throughout Thursday, there were many rumors that the Democrats would have a surprise guest on the last day of the party's national convention.

Many people have speculated whether Taylor Swift, George Bush, or Mitt Romney will run.

Celebrity website TMZ even reported that their sources told them Beyoncé would be performing.

But when Harris finished speaking, there was no Beyoncé on stage in Chicago.

– Kamala Harris was the Democrats' guest. They didn't want a celebrity to compete with her at the end of the national convention. “That's a very dangerous choice,” one adviser told me, CNN's Jeff Zeleny reported.

Because neither Taylor Swift nor Bush were to be seen at the United Center.

Mitt Romney himself wrote the following on X:

– Contrary to what some fake news reports are saying, I am not the surprise guest at the Democratic National Convention tonight. I think it will be Beyoncé or Taylor Swift. Very disappointing, I know!

Although the surprise guest did not appear, the final national meeting day was indeed full of stars.

Country stars The Chicks — formerly the Dixie Chicks — performed a three-part rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner,” before Pink and a host of other artists took the stage to sing their 2017 hit “What About Us.”
