Demi Lovato, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and more celebrities took to social media to react to the horrific news of explosions killing several people and injuring dozens of others at Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester, England, on Monday, May 22.
As previously reported, emergency services responded to the scene after concertgoers took to social media to document the hysteria that occurred after two huge explosions allegedly went off inside the arena shortly after the singer left the stage. The Manchester police department then confirmed via social media that 22 have been confirmed dead and about 59 people were injured. According to the Associated Press, ISIS claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing.
According to NBC News, US officials say that U.K. authorities believe the incident was carried out by a suicide bomber and it is being treated as a terrorist attack.
“Tearing up imagining innocent concert goers losing their lives.. praying for everyone and all #arianators. ??????,” Lovato tweeted, while Perry added: “Praying for everyone at @ArianaGrande’s show.”
