Footage from the May 13 Brentwood Park fundraiser showed Katharine McPhee rewriting Tina Turner’s “The Best” to praise Spencer Pratt over rivals Karen Bass and Nithya Raman.
David Foster, 76, played keyboards at the backyard event, which also drew producer Brian Grazer and underscored Hollywood backing for Pratt’s Los Angeles mayoral bid.
The performance came as a new Emerson College/Inside California Politics poll put Bass ahead of Pratt 30% to 22% before the June 2 primary.
Pratt has framed his campaign around Bass’ response to the January 2025 Palisades Fire, which destroyed his home; if no candidate wins a majority, the top two advance to the Nov. 3 general election.
