My favorite performance by far, however, was Kesha singing "Praying." I was not emotionally prepared for the experience. Everyone around us was dabbing tears and there was SILENCE in the stadium as people took in the lyrics. More tears were brought on by Logic with Alessia Cara and Khalid performing "1-80."
