Katy Perry performs during a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at Radio City Music Hall on March 2, 2016 in New York City.
The stars aligned for Hillary Clinton in New York City Wednesday night at a fundraising concert, where she celebrated her strong Super Tuesday performance with some of her famous friends and with her family, former President Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton.
The campaign was able to secure supporters Katy Perry and Sir Elton John, who performed to a sold-out crowd at Radio City Music Hall for the Im With Her" concert.
Elton John did an 8-song set, garnering a standing ovation after each classic. The crowd sang along to Tiny Dancer and Your Song." He dedicated his final song of the night, Still Standing, to Hillary Clinton, who was in the audience.
Katy Perry concluded the three-hour affair and made her own dedication to the Democratic presidential candidate as she sang Unconditional."
I sing this next song for her because I do believe this woman shows unconditional love, said Perry.
Singer-songwriter Andra Day sang her hit song Rise Up and dedicated Sam Cookes iconic Change is Gonna Come to Clinton. This next song I want to dedicate to her and to her future, said Day.
Academy Award winners Jamie Foxx and Julianne Moore were some of the nights presenters. Before introducing Chelsea Clinton, Moore told the crowd, Hillary has always fought for us and now its our turn to fight for her.
Chelsea Clinton also sang her mothers praises and a hoarse President Bill Clinton, who has aggressively been campaigning for his wife, spoke fondly of meeting his wife 45 years ago this month.
I want you to stay with her. Nominate her! Thank you! exclaimed the president as he was joined on stage by Hillary Clinton.
Although her comments were brief, Clinton declared tonight Super Wednesday, and added "Im running for president because I want to break down barriers." ..........................
