Ariana Grande

I have to tell you, she looks better and cuter and cooler in this than 99 percent of the other things she wears on-stage. Let's hear it for jeans and sweatshirts, y'all. Sometimes comfort IS king. 

with Miley Cyrus

I believe Miley's shirt says, "I *heart* MCR." They apparently duetted on a cover of "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House. I kind of wish I'd heard that, so I guess I know what I'll be Googling in a minute.

Tragedy makes friend

Miley

Miley also popped out to sing "Happy" with Pharrell, in addition to whatever she may have done on her own. I appreciate that she brought a costume change. Give the people what they want, and what they want is: OUTFITS.

Pharrell Williams

Here is Pharrell, also, in snazzy pants.

AG with the Black Eyed Peas

I find it intriguing that all of the Black-Eyed Peas were present except for Fergie. The Peas are denying that Fergie has left the band. They claim she is "concentrating on her new album," which... if ever there was a good reason to stop concentrating on your new album, this is it. Besides which I'm sure the cynical marketing types would be delighted to get her in front of people's eyeballs again. It's all rather weird.

Katy Perry

I have seen a LOT of people in these mid-calf heeled white boots lately. If that is a trend then I guess... it's another one I shall have to sit out, on my rocking chair on the porch.

Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams is wearing a hoodie from... Justin Bieber's tour, which makes me laugh.

The Biebs

Even Bieber didn't. He actually looks totally normal also, having appropriately decided that the occasion warranted pants with a regular crotch. Thank you, Justin.

Chris Martin

Chris Martin dances like such a goober, and I find it so charming.

with Liam Gallagher

They teamed up for "Live Forever." I gather Liam once called the band "a bunch of students" and compared Chris Martin to a geography teacher, so... it seems death does make friends of us all (to quote our Royal We bonus chapter).

Little Mix

And, Little Mix came by and did its Little Mix thing. I don't think I've ever heard a Little Mix song, but they're mad popular over there, from what I understand. I wish Ariana had sung with them. I wish she'd sung with ALL of them, but I guess that's a lot.

Niall Horan

If ONLY we'd gotten a One Direction reunion.

Mark Owen

We DID get a Take That renion, though. BLESS.

Gary Barlow

He looks kind of like a cross between David Beckham and that time Bieber was blond.

One Love Manchester Benefit Concert

Sniffle. Hug your loved ones and don't hold back.

Well Played, Artists: The One Love Manchester Concert

I hope this was a win for the Manchester locals who needed it.
