Beyonce told the crowd in Cleveland that she would like daughter Blue to grow up seeing a "woman lead our country and know that her possibilities are limitle.
On Friday, the get-out-the-vote campaign concert took place in Cleveland with star performances from the power pair, Chance The Rapper, J Cole and Big Sean.
The string of concerts have been designed to drive up the turnout among younger voters.
Speaking to the crowd, Beyonce - whose dancers all wore 'I'm with her' T-shirts - shared an impassioneed speech, saying she would like to see daughter Blue grow up seeing a "woman lead our country and know that her possibilities are limitless".
"Less than 100 years ago women did not have the right to vote," the mum-of-one said. "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.
