One of the night’s memorable moments was an emotional performance of the song “Anyone” by Demi Lovato. She was crying because it was the first time she had been performing since 2018, when she overdosed. She also said, “I looked at the front row and I saw my mom and my two sisters, and I think having… seeing them in the front row just overwhelmed me with emotion.” She added, “Also, it was very much in my head, like, this is the first time you’re on stage in a year and a half… so I had that voice in my head. And then, also, I put myself back in that hospital bed listening to that song, on little speakers in the ICU. I put myself back in that position and I was just overwhelmed.”
