A Beyonce cameo would create a hat trick of the nation's most powerful black women coming out in support of Harris - after former first lady Michelle Obama spoke Tuesday night and Oprah's endorsrement of Harris on Wednesdy.
Beyonce already signaled her support of Harris - by allowing the vice president to use Freedom in her campaign ads and at rallies. She threatened to send a cease-and-desist to the Trump campaign after the same song was used in Trump's social media.
And DailyMail.com reported earlier this month that Beyonce planned to attend a fundraiser for the Democratic nominee.
Convention organizers have already been able to pull off one surprise - Lil Jon's appearance representing Georgia during Tuesday night's musical roll call vote.

'He didn't go to soundcheck the other day,' Spillane also told DailyMail.com.

Winfrey knew going to mic check could ruin her surprise appearance so she went through her speech at the United Center wearing a hat, sunglasses and a face mask, The New York Times reported.
When Winfrey said hello to Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, the California congressman didn't recognize her, Winfrey's best friend, CBS' Gayle King said.
During Thursday's sound checks, attendees and those observing the convention from home were looking for any clue that the Cowboy Carter songstress would grace Chicago with her presence.
A drum line went through their performance - further sparking a frenzy that Beyonce could come.
Two white bedazzled jackets were also brought out onstage - stoking speculation that Swift and Beyonce could both come. Though Deadline previously reported that Swift didn't plan to be on hand.
The Democratic National Convention has been far more Hollywood-friendly than its Republican counterpart - which boasted Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan as the top celebrity VIPS.

Later in the afternoon, Pink appeared onstage and sang her hit, What About Us, several times.
The Chicks are also expected to perform that National Anthem Thursday night.
