The former Hewlett-Packard CEO sang a little ditty dedicated to Cruz’s young daughters, Caroline and Catherine, after telling a crowd of supporters she has been spending a lot of time on the road with the Texas senator’s family. “I know two girls that I just adore. I’m so happy I can see them more,” she sang. “’Cause we travel on the bus all day, we get to play, we get to play.” Fiorina added that the song has four more verses but told the audience she wouldn’t “bore” them with the rest. “Caroline and Catherine. Love you girls,” she said. Cruz on Wednesday asked Fiorina to be his running mate should he manage to secure the Republican presidential nomination at the Republican convention this summer. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4310405/carly-fiorina-sings-ted-cruz-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4310405/carly-fiorina-sings-ted-cruz-video/"},"headline":"Watch Carly Fiorina Sing During Ted Cruz's Vice President Announcement","datePublished":"2016-04-27T22:22:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:33:35.480Z","description":"To Ted Cruz's two young daughters","url":"https://time.com/4310405/carly-fiorina-sings-ted-cruz-video/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd11bc064c14441af/698890f2ab6d772fbe6a9741/carly-fiorina-sings-ted-cruz.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd11bc064c14441af/698890f2ab6d772fbe6a9741/carly-fiorina-sings-ted-cruz.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz Names Carly Fiorina As Running Mate At Campaign Rally","caption":"Carly Fiorina smiles during a campaign event for Ted Cruz in Indianapolis, Indiana on April 27, 2016.","creditText":"Bloomberg—Bloomberg via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4310405/carly-fiorina-sings-ted-cruz-video/","name":"Watch Carly Fiorina Sing During Ted Cruz's Vice President Announcement"}}]}] ```
