Beyoncé channels Pamela Anderson in ‘Bodyguard’ video, urges voting

Beyoncé dropped the first visuals from her Cowboy Carter album. Well, not really. But kind of.

The alien superstar paid homage to Pamela Anderson for Halloween this year, channeling the actress and model’s looks from the series Baywatch and movie Barb Wire. The costumes are shown in a video set to “Bodyguard,” a track from her latest country album, and in it, Beyoncé even pokes fun at her lack of visuals.

Channeling Anderson’s look at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, the singer swaps the MTV chyron for one that reads No Visual Awards. Aptly titled “Beywatch,” the video released early on Election Day also urged people to get out and vote.

Beyoncé, known for her rotation of various costumes each year, also dressed as singer-songwriter Betty Davis this year, before sharing another costume as Prince and Apollonia for a Purple Rain homage.

The “Bodyguard” video comes about a week after Beyoncé’s headline-making appearance at a presidential campaign rally for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in her native Houston, where she endorsed the current VP’s bid for the White House.

Speaking on stage alongside her pal and former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé urged voters to mobilize. “I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,” she said in her speech. “A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided.”

“We’re all part of something much bigger. We must vote, and we need you,” said Beyoncé.

Republican nominee Donald Trump, naturally, made his displeasure at the appearance known at his own rally: “Joe Biden is asleep, Kamala is at a dance party with Beyoncé.” he said. “This person cannot be a president.”

The Harris campaign has been using Beyoncé’s “Freedom,” from her celebrated Lemonade album, as their official campaign song on the campaign trail leading up to Tuesday’s election. The Trump campaign attempted to riff on the song selection earlier this year by using it in one of their videos, prompting the music superstar’s record label and music publisher to send a cease-and-desist to the campaign.
