Last night we had the incredible opportunity to attend the #StarkeyGala, which raises money for the Starkey Hearing Foundation. While the foundation has some incredible athletic and political supporters, many musicians support the foundation as well, attending missions to provide hearing aids to people in need.
We were there to cover the red carpet as well as the gala, providing an inside look at some of the performances. Check out a recap of the event below!
We will be live tweeting from the red carpet starting at about 4:30 EST!

Katy Perry was last to take the stage and played 5 songs. This time she didn’t have Sharks, but a ball gown, dedicating the songs to those who need help. The crowd was dancing to “Roar,” “Part of Me” and even “Teenage Dream.”
