Ariana Grande flew the flag for peace, positivity, and perseverance tonight at the ‘One Love Manchester’ concert.
Taking place at the Emirates Old Trafford, the fundraiser was watched by the 50,000 in attendance and millions more across the globe via various TV and online broadcasts.
Throughout the night, which saw acts like Grande, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Pharrell, and Little Mix, grace the stage – viewers were urged to donate – and they did in earnest.
ABC’s GMA confirms that over $9 million was raised to benefit the Red Cross charity’s fund for the survivors of the terrorist bomb attack and the families of the deceased.

Major kudos to Ariana and her team, as well as all of the artists involved.
The show was a beautiful salute to all affected and a global showcase of strength and solidarity.
Much respect.
