6 amazing moments and 6 awkward moments from the Global Citizen Festival
Written by adrina

Yesterday I attended the Global Citizen Festival where celebs like Mariah Carey, Charlie Puth, Metallica and more performed for countless positive causes.

However, it was basically like a lengthy awards show, which means there were amazing moments — and some awkward ones, too. Here are some of the best:

AMAZING: Mariah Carey Returned to the Stage and Killed the Late Night Valentine’s Mix of ‘We Belong Together’:

Mariah sang the Valentine’s mix of her hit “We Belong Together.”

AWESOME: Way too many speakers.

The crowd of “inspirational” speakers at global Citizen today was way too big. The performances lasted about 10 minutes while the speakers spoke about 40 minutes. The event itself was also quite disorganized. There was only one entry/exit line so it was VERY crowded

Fans noticed that there were waaaay too many speakers. It’s true – it seemed like the crowd was constantly waiting and waiting and waiting for each segment to be over so the performer could perform next.

AMAZING: Charlie Puth had a super cute New York State of Mind moment:

The 30-year-old New Jersey native sang the cover of Billy Joel and urged fans to gaze at the skyline. It was quite a sweet moment TBH.

AWFUL: People booed New York City Mayor Eric Adams:

AMAZING: Mickey Guyton joined Metallica on their set for an amazing surprise:

.@MickeyGuyton joining @Metallica on Nothing Else Matters was an incredible treat for the @GlblCtzn festival crowd in New York City. Guyton volunteered her own version of the song for The Metallica Blacklist Album, so it was pretty awesome to see her join Metallica to sing it.

Mickey and the heavy metal band smashed “Nothing Else Matters” in front of 60,000 fans. One moment.

AWFUL: Priyanka Chopra stumbled a little over her words at that moment:

AMAZING: Joe Jonas performed his brother Nick’s hit song ‘Jealous’:

Jealous by Joe Jonas 😆

Even though it’s Nick’s song, Joe hopped on the live rendition and really delivered. Woooh, Joe CAN SING.

AWFUL: Nancy Pelosi was also booed:

While speaking about climate change, House Speaker Pelosi was loudly booed by the crowd.

AMAZING: Rosalía stopped and took so many selfies with fans.

UMSTÄNDIG: That’s why I saw a barricade fall.

AMAZING: The causes – the festival focused on equality, justice, feminism, climate change and much more.

AFFECTED: Killed Angélique Kidjo but her audio cut out for a few moments during her performance:
