during a rendition of love the way you
lie RiRi couldn’t contain herself and
began tearing up on stage fans responded
by cheering and shouting the start with

to wipe tears from her eyes in response
a critic for The Telegraph remarked we

let it out
number eight Selena Gomez until an
artist straight-up admits that a song is
about their ex all fans can do is
speculate
well amid Selena Gomez’s highly
publicized breakup with Justin Bieber
the Texas need have made it pretty clear
that love will remember the final track
off of her 2013 album stars dance was
about her relationship with the Canadian
[Music]
armed with that information audience
members totally understood why she broke
down in tears while singing the song at
London’s Hammersmith Apollo Theatre in
September of that same year it’s a truly
heartbreaking performance for any Gomez
fan number 7 Beyonce it’s no secret that
Queen Bee cries a lot there are entire
compilations on YouTube devoted to her
penchant for waterworks and while many
of her tear ups have come during
interviews
she’s never been afraid to let it all
out law onstage either take for example
the show she did an Antwerp back in 2013
after belting out an emotional rendition
of flaws and all Beyonce began to cry
whether it was because of the songs
meaning the love she felt from the fans
in the audience or simply tears of joy
it was amazing to see an artist of
Beyonce’s magnitude expressing herself
so freely number six Celine Dion in 2016
Celine Dion lost her husband of more
than two decades honey
al-jalil in her first concert appearance
since Ali’s death Dion performed a cover
of all by myself to a packed house
[Music]
it takes courage to stand on stage so
soon after the death of a loved one and
even more to bear ones emotions with
such raw intensity Dion’s performance
was incredibly moving and was amplified
by the fact that she started crying near
the end of the show
the reaction from the crowd says it all
fully embracing the french-canadian
songstress in her moment of need
number five Taylor Swift never went to
hide her emotions Taylor Swift broke
down on stage while performing in
Indonesia back in 2014 during the final
leg of the red tour Swift performed at
Jakarta’s Mata along international
stadium in front of a crowd of more than
16,000 fans
while singing all too well t-swift let
her emotions run free banging her head
back and forth his tears streamed down
her face
the fans responded by screaming at the
top of their lungs and singing along its
performances like this that really
connect with people so it makes sense
why there are so many Swifties out there
number for Adele
few artists infuse their songs with as
much emotion as this British star Adele
has made a career out of impactful
extremely personal tracks that connect
with listeners on a truly personal level
it is no rapaho leasing it for me that
humanity was on full display during a
concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall
back in 2011 the event was filmed as
part of her live video album live at the
Royal Albert Hall and after a night
filled with emotion the pot boiled over
when Adele returned for an encore
singing her seminal breakup song someone
like you at the end she invites the
crowd to sing along and they’re equally
heartfelt performance causes Adele to
weep Oh number three
Lady Gaga Lady Gaga and tears go
together like peanut butter and jam need
we remind you of the blubbering mess she
turned millions of moviegoers into with
her incredible performance in a star is
born well during a show in st. Paul
Minnesota back in 2013 it was Gaga’s
turn to cry playing piano and singing
the edge of glory Gaga completely loses
herself at the moment and begins to bawl
like a baby with fans cheering her on
Gaga takes a moment to compose herself
and then returns to the performance it
was a truly raw moment from one of the
industry’s best
[Applause]
[Music]
number two Nick Jonas the Jonas Brothers
are well versed in the art of eliciting
emotion from their fan base however
every once in a while they are the ones
who fall victim to their feelings case
in point during a 2010 performance in
Detroit with his band
Nick Jonas & the administration Nick
broke down in tears the moment occurred
while he was singing stay a song he
claims is about falling for someone to
say that the audience lost it would be
an understatement as it’s nearly
impossible to hear the songs lyrics over
there screeching such as the life of a
teen pop star before we unveil our top
[Applause]
[Music]
number one Ariana Grande it’s never easy
saying goodbye to a loved one but the
way ariana grande chose to honor her
late grandfather during 2015’s the
honeymoon tour should serve as an
inspiration to all of us prior to
performing by everything a video with
sound bites from a conversation between
Grande and her grandfather would play in
which he praises her and tells her how
much he supports her career
[Music]
in at least one instance during a show
at Madison Square Garden grande broke
down in tears while singing my
everything
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
the fact that she was able to perform it
at all is a testament to her
