Anne Hathaway resurrects ‘Ella Enchanted’ and endorses her president in a leather ensemble that gives straight-up Catwoman

Several celebrities have shown their support for Kamala Harris through powerful posts on Instagram and passionate messages on X (formerly Twitter). But what if they expressed their endorsements through music instead?

That’s exactly what Anne Hathaway did! She performed “Somebody to Love” by Queen at a fundraising event called the Broadway Rallies for Kamala Harris on Monday, October 14, 2024. Before showcasing her stunning vocal talent, the *Les Misérables* star made it clear where she stands: “In case you didn’t know, I am voting for Kamala.” She added, “You have to make a choice — you have to vote,” emphasizing that even if you don’t have a candidate you’re passionate about, you likely care about certain issues.

This particular song has a special connection for Hathaway’s fans, especially those who remember her role as Ella in the 2004 musical *Ella Enchanted*, where she also sang this tune. Fans were blown away by her performance and thrilled to hear her sing a song that has been so close to her character’s heart.

One fan on X noted how Hathaway seems to “not age AT ALL.” When comparing her recent performance to her appearance in *Ella Enchanted*, it’s hard to believe it’s been ten years since the movie came out—except for the fact that the world has changed significantly since then. We’ve faced challenges like inflation, a tumultuous political landscape, and a global pandemic. Yet, Hathaway still looks as youthful as ever, and her outfit gave off serious Catwoman vibes that fans adored.

Hathaway could have chosen any song to perform, but the message of “Somebody to Love” fits perfectly in this context, just as it did when Ella was searching for her Prince Charming. In these challenging times, Harris has sparked excitement, hope, and positivity among many Americans. The dramatic lyrics of Queen’s song resonate deeply with the current political climate. While Freddie Mercury may not have envisioned his lyrics reflecting today’s struggles, lines like “each morning I get up I die a little” and “Take a look in the mirror and cry” feel all too relatable.

This wasn’t the first time Hathaway has spoken out about the upcoming election. Given her history of sharing political views, she was a fitting choice to perform at the Broadway Rallies for Kamala Harris event. The fundraiser, held at Town Hall in Manhattan’s Theater District, also featured performances from stars like Rosie Perez, Wilson Cruz, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Porter, and Audra McDonald. Hathaway even urged her fans to vote in an Instagram post on October 5, 2024. She has long been a supporter of the Democratic Party. In 2008, during an interview at the Democratic National Convention with Danny Strong (who played Doyle in *Gilmore Girls*), she expressed her concern for policy issues like the economy and the housing crisis, a problem that has only worsened. While some may criticize Harris’s ideas, it’s clear that her opponent wouldn’t be doing anything to help—and might even make things worse.

In that same interview back in 2008, Hathaway voiced her support for Barack Obama. Despite feeling “afraid to have hope” due to past disappointments with politicians she believed in, she felt confident that he would be a strong leader. Obama, in turn, praised her for her performance in *The Dark Knight Rises*.

With just three weeks left until the election, celebrity endorsements are more crucial than ever. Imagine if every star took to the stage in dazzling outfits, singing their hearts out to share why they’re voting for Harris! That would surely make an impact!
