Grande hugged the students, some of whom were at her May 22 concert when a suicide bomber killed 22 people and wounded several others. It was an emotional moment onstage when they came together to raise money for the victims and the families.
Grande was joined by Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Usher, Coldplay, Niall Horan and the Black Eyed Peas at the concert. The event is reportedly set to raise upwards of $2.6 million.
The concert had a somber tone as it was a day after seven people were killed and 48 injured when three men drove into a crowd and began attacking people with knives in London.
“I am not scared,” Ellie Galespie, 14, said ahead of the show. “I didn’t come to the first concert, but I wanted to come to this one. It’s for everyone’s good, and it’s for charity.”
