The lineup for the Lady Gaga-curated One World: Together at Home digital event has expanded,
and it’s already raised over $35 million to help combat the current state of the world.
What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver Music reporting from my at home
studio, and in case you haven’t heard yet, Lady Gaga is doing something incredible for
the world.
She has teamed up with the World Health Organization and Global Citizen to put together a highly-anticipated
entertainment special this Saturday, April 18th.
Some of the world’s biggest stars are set to join the special, and the list continues
to grow.

Lady Gaga shared the news with Jimmy Fallon last week on the digital edition of The Tonight
Show.
Jimmy will also be hosting the event, along with fellow late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel
and Stephen Colbert.
“I got Jimmy Fallon, and guess who else I got… Kimmel and Colbert!
We have to come together and work together, come on!”
Not only are the three popular hosts joining forces to host the digital event, multiple
networks are also joining in on the movement and broadcasting the special.
“NBC, CBS, and ABC, everybody’s working together!”
The money raised from the event will fund research and assist those that are having
the most difficulty during this time.Lady Gaga explained that while the goal is to raise
money, she wants viewers to actually enjoy the show while it is on.
“But what’s also wonderful is it’s not a telethon, it’s not a fundraiser, so when
the show starts, put away your wallets, and put away your credit cards, just sit back
and watch the show because we will already have raised money ahead of time.”
And that they did!
Lady Gaga further revealed to Jimmy Kimmel that they’ve already raised $35 million.
I’ve personally never been more proud to be a Little Monster.
As we mentioned, Gaga has some big stars scheduled to appear on One World: Together at Home,
and from just one look at the list, there’s really something for everyone!
Artists like Lizzo and Billie Eilish were scheduled to appear when the announcement
was first made on April 6.
The updated lineup for the digital event dropped on Tuesday morning, and now includes even
more of our favorite A-listers, including Taylor Swift, Camila Cabello, Celine Dion,
Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Lopez, Oprah Winfrey, Pharrell Williams, Sam Smith, Shawn Mendes,
Usher, and many more!
I can’t think of a better way to encourage everyone to stay home!
If you’re wondering exactly what will be taking place during the broadcast, the official
Global Citizen website describes the event as “a series of virtual, no-contact concerts
to inspire us all to stay inside and take action.”
It really is amazing to see so many people come together during a time like this to uplift
one another and help raise money for those that are the most affected by the current
crisis.
Worldwide brands are also getting involved and doing their part to help.
The Coca-Cola Company, Johnson & Johnson, PepsiCo, State Farm, Target, and Verizon are
just some of the companies that have joined in and supported the COVID-19 Solidarity Response
Fund for World Health Organization.
The event is scheduled to air on Saturday, April 18 at 8PM. ET on ABC, NBC, ViacomCBS
Networks, iHeartMedia and Bell Media networks, and will stream on multiple online platforms
as well.
It will be 8 hours long in total.
The first 6 hours will stream online, and the final 2 hours will be part of a televised
special.
Fans are excited about the event to say the least, but before we get into what they’re
saying, comment down below and let us know which artists you’re most excited to see!
And make sure to stick around until the end, because one fan’s reaction to the virtual
event is just too good to miss.
One fan took to Twitter to share their appreciation for the event, writing, ”Lady Gaga is giving
us so much for the One World Together at Home special.
She is the best”
Another fan chimed in expressing how excited they are to see some of their favorite artists,
saying, “LIAM, NIALL, CHRIS MARTIN, TAYLOR, LADY GAGA, AND SHAWN ALL ON THE GLOBAL CITIZEN
TOGETHER AT HOME LINE UP ON SATURDAY...
I REALLY WON”
Trust me I’m on the same page!
We’re definitely all winning here…
Another fan came through with jokes, and honestly, this one’s too funny not to share.
Do you all remember that one time Trisha Paytas took it upon herself to channel her inner
Lady Gaga and sing ‘Shallow’ in her kitchen?
If not, here’s a refresher…
Now that I’ve refreshed your memory, this fan took to Twitter to share that clip, writing,
“lady gaga performing shallow for one world: together at home concert in her kitchen on
saturday night”
I truly have no words…
No matter what Lady Gaga performs or how she decides to show up to the virtual event, we
are SO excited to tune in and are so thankful for everything she’s doing to help people
worldwide during this time.
