Other celebrities present at the event include Selena Gomez, Cara Delevingne, Anya Taylor Joy and Zoë Kravitz.
The show was a part of Youssef’s More Feelings tour and Friday’s event was sold out while its profits are reportedly to go in aid for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza through American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA).
Earlier this month, when Time magazine revealed Taylor Swift as person of the year, criticism poured in from across social media as people asserted that it is the journalists from Gaza who deserve to grace the cover page.

Journalists in Gaza have been risking their lives and reporting from ground, unveiling Israeli atrocities being committed against Palestine. On the other hand, Taylor Swift is among the many famous, highly influential celebrities who has not spoken a single word in calling for a ceasefire in Gaza nor condemned Israeli attacks.
