Ariana Grande, 23, is doing everything she can to help victims of the bad terrorist attack that occurred at her Manchester concert on May 22, and now she's making it easy for fans to do so, too. Not only did she make good on her promise, she rallied some of the most influential voices in pop to the cause.
Grande ended the night with all the musicians returning to the stage for a performance of her single "One Last Time", followed by "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
One person who was, however, was Neil Finn, who thanked Grande for picked one of his band's songs to play.
A-listers such as Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Pharrell Williams and Coldplay all delivered, but Grande stole the show. A song that, unfortunately, hasn't lost any of its meaning over the last 14 years.
The We Love Manchester Emergency Fund has reached £10.2 million following Sunday's benefit concert headlined by Ariana Grande.
Security at the concert was understandably tight, and was tightened further following another brutal terrorist attack that occurred late Saturday night, which saw three men drive a truck into a crowd only to later stab people in nearby pubs and restaurants. "However, I extend my hand and heart and everything I possibly can give to you and yours, should you want or need my help in any way".
During the show, she revealed that she had changed the set list after meeting one of the terror attack victims' mothers.
Grande's single "One Last Time" which she closed the show with, rocketed to number two in the official charts.
The whopping sum has been raised through ticket sales, merchandise, and other donations, with over £2 million alone coming from text message donations from within the United Kingdom during the three hours that the concert was aired for.
"Spotify is making an additional, sizeable donation on behalf of our users to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund in aid of the British Red Cross", a spokesperson told E!
