Keys implored the “Please Me” singer to “please show these people what to do,” before going on to tell the audience about the power of music.
“Music changes the world just like Beethoven said. Old dude in a wig, but I still give him some cred,” she sang. “It’s just too many lies, too much hate, too much spin. It’s when good people do nothing that the bad guys win.”
In response to Keys’ mention of Trump, people on Twitter had varying things to say.
Alicia keys just had to mention trump being impeached 🙄 annoyed already.
