Apparently there is an unscheduled block of time tonight and Twitter is going wild with speculation. Everyone from Taylor Swift to GWB is being suggested. Should be fun.

According to the IG @swiftiesforharrisco, they're tracking Taylor's plane and she has landed in Chicago.

I feel like this could break the internet if it happens tonight.

Is that for Beyoncé or is she already on the schedule?

She’s introducing Harris and is on that schedule, but could also be performing? No one knows for sure.

I just caught the tail end of an NPR segment that was saying that there is a growing protest/movement to have a Palestinian American speak at the DNC. I wonder if a spot has been opened for them.

This would be the most epic way of shooting down Trump’s AI-bullshit that Taylor wants people to vote for him. She’s already posted hints on Instagram that she supports Harris, so I’m hopeful.

She already gave permission for a state to use one of her songs for roll call. I think she's definitely a supporter, but will she speak? Hide in disguise? Perform? Maybe she'll join Pink for a bit.

Maybe Rep. Ruwa Romman? It needs to be someone who both supports ending the genocide but also supports Harris/Walz (understanding that while the Biden administration has handled this poorly, the other choice is an abomination).

[underwaterrhymes]

I mean, honestly, if it’s Beyoncé, Taylor, GWB, AND Rep. Ruwa Romman, I’d be delighted.

[lilypad1126]

We've been recording and watching at more convenient times, but we'll be watching live tonight. We're both curious if Taylor will show up, we're looking forward to seeing Beyonce, and obviously want to see Harris.

But yeah, we're both excited at the possibility of Taylor showing up, lol. What a time to be alive!

Who is GWB? All I’m coming up with in my head is George W Bush

[redheadbaker]

Pete Buttigieg made a really good point on Colbert last night:

"Campaigns ... spend millions of dollars on ads and consultants to try to make their candidate seem like the kind of guy who would be a classroom teacher, a football, and a National Guardsman. He literally is that! And what all of those jobs have in common is they're not about you. The measure of a great teacher is the success of your students, and the measure of a great coach is the performance of your players and a great sergeant is measured by the readiness of your soldiers. It's about other people, as is how the office of governor or president and vice president should be."

Yes. People are speculating that he will endorse her at the DNC. Obviously no idea if it’s true or not, but he’s on the speculation list.

[jinkies]

I would be really excited to watch my R family members' heads explode if GWB endorses Harris. Please God let this happen for me.

[laterz]

Aren't Shelly O and GWB buds? Maybe she convinced him to come to the convention!

[redheadbaker]

Oh man, get the tissues ready. Parents from Newtown, Uvalde, Charleston and Chicago are speaking about gun violence tonight, as well as Gabby Giffords.

NBC is saying there will be surprise “musical and otherwise guests tonight”. So read into that what you will.

Who is narrating the video of Kamala's life?

[icedcoffee]

@@@

I cannot fucking believe the R’s are making fun of Gus’ reaction last night. A fucking child! Who loves his dad.

Also I think a GWB speech would be amazing and also a huge nail in the coffin of Trumps campaign.

I also saw a lot of shit after the 1st night of people attacking Kamala’s daughters looks. I know she she’s an adult but still not the political figure- leave her alone.

I’m notoriously bad at celebrities so I googled - got Jeffrey Wright - second guessed it when I saw it was the first night, and having listened again, I am almost certain it’s Morgan Freeman.

Elizabeth Warren with a couch joke! LOL

[underwaterrhymes]

I like Elissa Slotkin.

[SusanBAnthony]

What time is the mystery spot? Anyone know?

[basilosaurus]

Couch commando!

I think I'm delayed by maybe a minute. nvm 5 minutes. 

[underwaterrhymes]

Joy! Joy! Joy!

Whew. Reverend Al Sharpton and the Exonerated 5 were very powerful.
