Elton John hosts charity concert amid coronavirus - Good Morning America

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello

Up next was Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, who flirted a bit before introducing the song \"My Oh My\" with Cabello on vocals and Mendes on guitar. More adorable than the lovebirds was their dog in the background, who excitedly tried to steal the spotlight in the beginning.

Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day, who took over from Cabello and Mendes, also showed off his canine companion as he sang \"Boulevard of Broken Dreams.\"

Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw took the stage next to perform a lighthearted \"Something Like That\" while sitting on his diving board as his band played live from their respective houses. His spot ended with him thanking his daughter Maggie for holding the camera and sweetly blew her a kiss.

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato took the majority of her slot to urge those viewing to donate and \"do what you can to lift [people] up.\" She closed with a brief piano rendition of \"Skyscraper.\"

Mariah Carey

Last up was Mariah Carey, who put her heart into \"Always Be My Baby\" and made sure to prove she is the queen of the whistle register by spending the last moments of the song hitting a series of high notes.

She concluded with an adorable anecdote that after she leaves the studio, she's going to put her gloves back on \"even in my own home.\"

Non-performers

While Lady Gaga didn't perform, she reached out to fans in an empathetic way, saying, \"I know what's going on in the world is terrifying\" and that \"my heart goes out to people who lost loved ones.\"

She used her time to touch upon mental health, encouraging those to communicate with friends and family to combat the feeling of isolation and anxiety. She concluded, \"Be kind to yourselves.\"

Other performers helping to spread positivity were H.E.R. and Sam Smith.

Thanking first responders was a unifying theme during Sunday night's concert. The show offered numerous first-hand accounts from EMTs, doctors and nurses about how they're battling against the pandemic. One nurse named Melissa, who is working at a COVID-19 ICU at her hospital, tearfully revealed that she feels like she's \"working in a war zone.\"

Talk show host Ellen Degeneres also shouted out essential workers, namely those who work at grocery stores, making sure people are still able to eat by keeping the shelves stocked.

As the concert wrapped up, John urged the audience to continue giving to First Responders Children Foundation and Feeding America before thanking everyone for coming together to promote positivity.
