.Beyonce, BTS_twt, ladygaga and more saluted the graduating class of 2020 in YouTube's DearClassOf2020 virtual event
With graduation ceremonies across the country and worldwide being canceled due to social distancing following the Coronavirus, YouTube held a national graduation ceremony for the Class of 2020 this Sunday -- with the help of a number of pop stars, celebrities and public figures.
Further pop stars offering their words of wisdom included Justin Timberlake, who addressed viewers from a makeshift graduation program and pointed out how historically unique this ceremony would be, and Taylor Swift, who lamented that she too was not able to have a traditional graduation, due to being in the midst of a radio tour.
Beyoncé delivered one of the longest and most powerful messages on the day, addressing the protests that had sprung up around the world in the wake of George Floyd's killing at the hands of the Minneapolis police."Thank you for using your collective voice in letting the word know that Black Lives Matter," she offered to the Class of 2020."Real change has started with you, this new generation of high school and college graduates we celebrate today.
Musical performances were relatively scarce across the ceremony, but a couple remote collaborative performances were featured. First, Finneas O'Connell led a number of star singers -- including Noah Cyrus, Tove Lo, Khalid, Ty Dolla Sign, Camila Cabello and Chris Martin -- in a minimally accompanied cover of U2's"Beautiful Day." The performance was introduced by Bono, who revealed that the song originated from a stormy day in Ireland.
