As was the case in France in 2015, a large crowd was targeted in the bombing of an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena in the U.K. on May 22. Twenty-two people were killed while dozens more were injured. Many of the victims were children.

Grande was not injured in the attack, though she has since halted her European tour and returned home to Florida to mentally recover from the horrific ordeal. The devastated pop singer shared her condolences on her Twitter account.

broken.
from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don’t have words.

The music industry can be a toxic environment filled with rivalries, backstabbing, and name calling, but singers and songwriters stand united when tragedy strikes, especially when one of their own is affected.

Case in point: Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. The ongoing feud between the pop stars returned to the headlines this week, but both Perry and Swift sent their love to those affected by the bombing.

Praying for everyone at @ArianaGrande‘s show
