At the end of the concert, Beyoncé, who performed the ‘Formation’ number, took a minute off her performance to encourage the audience to vote in order to “create more change.”

She added while citing historic events: “if you were a woman, it did not matter.”

Beyoncé, whose dancers had “I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country” printed on their shirts said:

“Less than 100 years ago women did not have the right to vote. Look how far we’ve come from having no voice to being on the brink of making history – again – by electing the first woman president. But we have to vote.

“The world looks to us as a progressive country that leads change. Eight years ago I was so inspired to know that my nephew, a young black child, could grow up knowing his dreams could be realised by witnessing a black president in office.

“And now we have the opportunity to create more change. I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country and know that her possibilities are limitless.

“We have to think about the future of our daughters, our sons, and vote for someone who cares for them as much as we do. And that is why I’m with her.”
