John Legend and Carrie Underwood Perform for Global Citizen Prize 2020

On Saturday, December 19th, the Global Citizen Prize 2020 aired on NBC, and honored several awe-inspiring leaders. In the music world, John Legend showed off his many talents, appearing as host and performing twice. Elton John was also recognized as the Global Citizen artist of the year for his tireless efforts combating the HIV/AIDS crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic with his Elton John AIDS Foundation. Gwen Stefani, Alessia Cara and JoJo with Tori Kelly also performed during the special event.

Legend joined Carrie Underwood for the beautiful holiday duet “Hallelujah,” the closing performance of the night, “in honor of the better days to come.” In an earlier segment, he was joined by Common for an inspiring live take of “Glory,” a moving tribute to Black Lives Matter that was accompanied by a choir coming in via a screen.
