Global Citizen, the international advocacy group that helped put the special together, tweeted late Saturday that the event raised “$127.9 million for COVID-19 relief. That is the power and impact of One World: #TogetherAtHome. Thank you @ladygaga for helping @GlblCtzn create this historic global broadcasting event. To everyone around the world: Stay strong, stay safe, we will be together in person soon.”

The special, with artists curated by Lady Gaga, aired locally from 8-10 p.m. Saturday on ABC, CBS, NBC, The CW and several cable networks.
