Taylor Swift, JLO and Oprah join hands to celebrate frontline workers!

Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez and Oprah Winfrey have joined a global broadcast special telecast that will take place this weekend which will recognize the efforts of workers on the front lines of the coronavirus outbreak.

The “One World Together at Home” event, a combination of music, comedy and stories from doctors, nurses and grocery workers, also announced an additional six-hour streaming event that will include appearances by major sports stars, including British Formula One racing champion Lewis Hamilton, U.S. women’s World Cup soccer player Megan Rapinoe, World Cup skier Lindsey Vonn and dozens of other singers, actors and social media influencers.
The event will take place on the 18th of April and will be broadcast across multiple North American and international television networks in the biggest effort, so far, to show solidarity with frontline workers.
All those taking part in the event, organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and advocacy group Global Citizen, will appear remotely due to social distancing and shutdowns aimed at curtailing the spread of the disease.
“Our hope for the special is that everyone will come away believing that we, as a shared humanity, can emerge from this moment forever grateful for the work of doctors, nurses, teachers, grocery store workers, and all those who are the backbone of our communities,” Hugh Evans, co-founder and chief executive of Global Citizen, said in a statement.
