Lady Gaga got some of music’s biggest stars together for the “One World: Together at Home” concert Saturday night.

After a six-hour pre-show, Gaga kicked off the two-hour main event by performing Nat King Cole’s version of  “Smile” and sent a message to viewers at home.

“Tonight is not a fundraiser, so put your wallets away,” said Gaga, who worked with the World Health Organization. “The artists are here to say thank you.”

Stevie Wonder performed next. He told viewers that “during hardships like this we have to lean on each other for help” before paying tribute to his late friend Bill Withers, who died in March, by performing “Lean On Me.”

Sir Paul McCartney performed The Beatles hit “Lady Madonna” while images of healthcare workers were displayed. He also thanked healthcare workers for their work during the pandemic.

The Rolling Stones found a creative way to perform. They joined one by one in a Zoom-styled video to perform their hit single “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”

The night closed with an ensemble performance of “The Prayer,” with Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Lady Gaga, and John Legend singing while Lang Lang performed on the piano.

Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel hosted the event, while other performances included Billie Eilish, Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, Kacey Musgraves, Maluma, and Keith Urban
