The best performance of the night during the One World: Together At Home special was saved for last – Celine Dion made a surprise appearance to perform “The Prayer” with some friends!

Lady Gaga was the big name behind tonight's celeb-packed Together at Home benefit concert for the World Health Organization, and she delivered. Gaga started the show by singing a beautiful cover of "Smile": ALERT

Lady Gaga, 34, can do no wrong! The Grammy winning singer used her star power to pull together the incredible “One World: Together At Home” concert and fundraiser, and dazzled with her beautiful cover the song “Smile.” Comfortable at her home piano, Gaga addressed the millions of viewers around the world.

Lady Gaga was just one of many artists to perform during Global Citizen’s One World: Together at Home broadcast to benefit frontline workers and the World Health Organization. During her set, Lady Gaga performed Charlie Chaplin’s song “Smile,” which was popularized by Nat King Cole. Watch it happen below.

Kacey Musgraves contributed a subdued, moving performance of “Rainbow” to the One World: Together At Home concert on Saturday night (Apr. 18), offering a ray of hope to help viewers get through a difficult global period.The country-pop star gave “a sincere thank-you to all the people out there risking their lives” prior to the performance, in which she played “Rainbow” on piano as images of hand-drawn rainbows flashed across the screen.

Today, Global Citizen is holding One World: Together at Home, a special broadcast to celebrate and support frontline healthcare workers in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The two part broadcast begins with a six-hour digital livestream at 2 p.m. Eastern before a special televised broadcast at 8 p.m. Eastern, which will air on ABC, NBC, CBS, iHeartMedia, and other platforms. Check out the livestream below.

Everything has turned digital given the present day and age. But now that we are all stuck at home due to the ongoing Coronavirus crisis, other things that happened in person, including concerts and festivals, have also turned digital, and rightly so.

Apologies to any Taylor Kinney/Lady Gaga shippers out there who were secretly hoping for a reconciliation (er, just me?), but it looks like Gaga *very* happy with her new man Michael Polansky and wants to have a future with him.

The Rolling Stones will perform during Lady Gaga’s star-studded One World: Together At Home live-streamed concert this weekend.
