Between the gigs, Heidi Klum, moderator Oprah Winfrey and actor Matthew McConaughey, among others, explained what the event was all about: On behalf of everyone, they thanked the helpers for their commitment.

Lady Gagas “love letter to the world”

Lady Gaga opened the benefit concert with a cover of Nat King Cole’s (1919-1965) classic “Smile” from her home. As a greeting, she said aloud, “Over the past few weeks, we have seen incredible bravery, courage, and kindness all over the world in response to this global pandemic. Everyone – from doctors and nurses at the forefront to volunteer mental health specialists , Grocery store employees, parcel delivery staff and postal workers – have shown an unprecedented level of friendliness in the fight against Covid-19. ”

The event was explicitly “not a fundraiser, so put your wallets away,” added Lady Gaga. “It is our love letter to the world.”

At the end she performed the Dion-Bocelli duet “The Prayer” together with Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli together with John Legend and Lang Lang.
