"I am honored to be performing at the Democratic National Convention for the first time ever. It’s a moment where we, as a country, can come together 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 navigate a safe path forward for our children."

- Jason Isbell: "Something More Than Free"

- Common and Jonathan McReynolds: "Fortunate" and "God Is Good"
- Lil Jon: "Turn Down for What" and "Get Low"

James Taylor was scheduled to take the stage Tuesday, but his performance was scrapped due to timing.
"It became clear, as the evening unfolded, that there wouldn't be time for our 'You've Got a Friend' with cello and voices. Maybe the organizers couldn't anticipate the wild response from the floor of the United Center," Taylor wrote, in part, in an Instagram post. "Anyway, sorry to disappoint."
