The couple did a duet
Ariana Grande was joined on stage by her supportive boyfriend Mac Miller on One Love Manchester.
The rapper was seen meeting her off the plane as she landed back in the US after the suicide bombing at her concert.
He was there to comfort her.
And tonight, he joined her on stage in Manchester for a rendition of The Way.
The crowd went wild as the pair performed the duet, and were treated to another with Dang!
The couple went down a storm.
The pop star hadn't performed live since a bombing claimed lives at her concert in Manchester two weeks ago.
But
tonight, the star made a triumphant return to the spotlight as she took
centre stage at her One Love Manchester benefit concert.
Ariana
was introduced onto the stage by her manager Scooter Braun, who said it
was two years ago today that she first played in Manchester.
She
took to the stage with Be Alright, wearing her "One Love Manchester"
jumper and smiling at the crowd before joining hands with her dancers.
The star-studded One Love Manchester benefit concert was organised by Ariana to raise money for those affected by the Manchester terror attack.
22
people were killed and more than 100 injured when a suicide bomber
detonated his device in the foyer of the Manchester Arena at the end of Ariana's concert on Monday, May 22.
She said: "I’ll be returning to
the incredibly brave city of Manchester to spend time with my fans and
to raise money for the victims and their families."
Ariana said
music is something that should heal and bring people together, and she
wanted One Love Manchester to be a "safe space" for her fans and music
lovers to come together.
"From the day we started putting the
Dangerous Woman Tour together, I said that this show, more than anything
else, was intended to be a safe space for my fans," she said.
"This will not change that."
“When
you look into the audience at my shows, you see a beautiful, diverse,
pure, happy crowd. Thousands of people, incredibly different, all there
for the same reason, music.
“Music is something that everyone on Earth can share.
“Music is meant to heal us, to bring us together, to make us happy.
“So that is what it will continue to do for us."
There
had been speculation the One Love Manchester concert could be cancelled
in the wake of Saturday night's terror attack in London, but Ariana's
team said on Sunday morning the show would go ahead with "greater
purpose" now.
Ariana's manager Scooter Braun said: "After the
events last night in London, and those in Manchester just two weeks ago,
we feel a sense of responsibility to honor those lost, injured, and
affected.
"We plan to honor them with courage, bravery, and
defiance in the face of fear. Today's One Love Manchester benefit
concert will not only continue, but will do so with greater purpose.
"We
must not be afraid and in tribute to all those affected here and around
the world, we will bring our voices together and sing loudly. I am
pleased to say we have the full support of Greater Manchester Police and
the government and are assured the safety of all those attending is the
highest priority.
Fans who had attended the original Ariana concert on May 22 were entitled to apply for free tickets to the event.
Ticketmaster
set aside 14,200 free tickets to go to those survivors of the May 22
attack who felt up for going to the benefit gig. Unfortunately, the site
was hit by thousands of fraudulent claims when would-be touts
registered for the free tickets despite having already sold on their
original tickets via secondary sites or private sales.
This meant
Ticketmaster has spent the last three days verifying the genuine fans
desperate to get their free tickets and throwing out applications from
chancers hoping to make a quick buck .
All the tickets to the gig
made available to the public were sold out within six minutes of going
on sale at 10am on Thursday 1 June.
