“As the night progressed, it became clear that there would be no time for our cello and voice ‘You’ve Got a Friend.’ Perhaps the organizers couldn’t have anticipated the wild response from the United Center floor,” Taylor wrote, in part, in an Instagram post. “Either way, sorry to disappoint.”

DNC Performers: The Chicks

The Chicks sing the ‘national anthem’ at the DNC

The Chicks took the stage at the Democratic National Convention to sing their version of the national anthem.

As the fourth day dawned, Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer took the stage to sing the national anthem, two hours before Harris delivered her final speech to officially accept the Democratic presidential nomination.

While Maines and Strayer were dressed in all black, Maguire wore a taupe blazer dress with gold stars.

The Grammy-winning country singers, who drew the ire of the industry and country music fans after criticizing President George W. Bush and his administration’s 2003 invasion of Iraq, also performed at the 2020 virtual DNC.

DNC Performers: John Legend and Sheila E.

John Legend and Sheila E. headlined an energetic opening contest for Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate, who formally accepted the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nomination on Wednesday.

The performance was a tribute to one of the most iconic singers from Walz’s home state of Minnesota: Prince. Legend, dressed in a sparkly white jacket, sang “Let’s Go Crazy” from 1984’s “Purple Rain” and played an upright piano while Sheila E., dressed in a white wrap dress, accompanied him on drums.

Sheila, a frequent collaborator of Prince, later stepped back to sing a duet with Legend.

In an interview with “CBS Mornings” that aired the morning of the performance, Legend spoke with Tony Dokoupil about his support for Harris and Walz.

“You can see from the policy statements that Vice President Harris made last week on the economy, she’s not doing this for me. She’s doing this for ordinary Americans,” he said. “And that’s where she needs to keep her eye on and her ear to, the concerns of ordinary Americans.”

DNC Artists: Maren Morris

Maren Morris, who started out in country music but has since distanced herself from the “toxic parts” of the industry, performed her 2020 song “Better Than We Found It” on Wednesday. Upon its release, Morris called it a “protest song,” with an accompanying music video that addressed the Black Lives Matter movement and immigration.

“I am honored to be performing for the first time at the Democratic National Convention. It is a moment when we can come together as a country and hear rational plans for the future of women’s and LGBTQ rights,” she said in a statement to The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network. “We can be inspired by people’s stories and find a safe path forward for our children.”

Morris recently told USA TODAY that she “will absolutely support Kamala in any way possible.”

“I campaigned for Biden and met Kamala, and she’s a badass. I feel empowered to vote. Living in Tennessee, it feels more impactful to say that,” she said.

DNC Performers: Stevie Wonder

On Wednesday, Stevie Wonder delivered a speech from the stage to the DNC audience, urging peace and kindness.

“As we stand between the pain of history and the promise of tomorrow, we must choose courage over complacency. It is time to stand up and vote!” he said.

“We must choose to rise above the ugly words, the hateful anger, and the division that those words and anger create. We must continue until we are truly a united people of these United States. And then we will reach our higher level.”

“Are you ready, because you know we need Kamala Harris. Yes, we do,” he continued. “And we need a great man that we have as our future vice president.”

He then moved to the keyboard to play his 1973 hit “Higher Ground” with a full band and dancers, all dressed in white.

DNC Performers: Lil Jon

During Tuesday’s DNC voting, Lil Jon represented the Georgia delegates who cast their votes for Harris with a surprise performance of “Turn Down for What” and “Get Low.”

The rapper, dressed in a teal satin vest and slacks, made his way through the crowd, occasionally giving high-fives to the audience. When he reached Georgia’s section, he encouraged everyone to chant, “We’re not going back.”

“VP Harris, Governor Walz,” he shouted as the medley transitioned into “Get Low.”

DNC Performers: Patti LaBelle

The DNC’s in memoriam on Tuesday played to the tune of “You Are My Friend” by “Godmother of Soul” Patti LaBelle. The R&B singer wore an ivory dress with black lace and effortlessly hit all the song’s high notes.

“God bless America and Kamala Harris,” LaBelle said as she closed the song.

DNC Performers: Common and Jonathan McReynolds

One of Chicago’s own, actor and Grammy, Emmy and Oscar winner Common rapped with gospel singer Jonathan McReynolds on Tuesday.

“I thank God for this moment in time where Kamala Harris will change the world for the better with love, hope and grace. We are fortunate,” Common said as he launched into his new song “Fortunate.”

DNC Performers: Jason Isbell

Alabama-born singer-songwriter Jason Isbell wore a navy suit over a white shirt and sang “Something More Than Free” from his 2015 album of the same name.

Before taking the stage, Isbell explained in an interview with the New York Times that his song choice was inspired by the thought of “the whole of the party.”

“I remember back home in Alabama, people had trailers of cars on blocks, and obviously people who weren’t doing so well financially, and they had signs in their yards for (George W. Bush). And I remember thinking, a lot of these people don’t even realize that they’re acting against their own best interests,” he said.

“And if we could convince Americans what their own best interests were, we wouldn’t have to ask them to be anything other than selfish. It’s like, please vote selfish, because you’re going to vote Democrat anyway, unless you’re in the top 1 percent of earners. And so I really picked this issue with those people in mind.”

DNC Performers: Mickey Guyton

Grammy-nominated country singer Mickey Guyton was the first performer at the DNC. She took the stage with the song “All American” from her debut studio album, “Remember Her Name.”

In 2020, Guyton made history with “Black Like Me” as the first black female solo artist to be nominated in a country category at the Grammys.

“It’s so inspiring to see someone who is not only exceptionally smart but who looks like me running for the highest office in our country,” Guyton told CNN of her DNC appearance. Harris “represents so much to so many people and I just think it’s incredible. I never thought in my lifetime that I would see a woman become president and now it seems achievable.”

RNC Performers: Lee Greenwood

Lee Greenwood made several musical appearances at the RNC. On the first and fourth days, the country singer-songwriter introduced Trump and had him onstage performing “God Bless The USA.”
