There was no shortage of highlights at the second CBS Radio We Can Survive concert, which took place at the Hollywood Bowl on Oct. 24. Not only was the stage shared by Taylor Swift, Pharrell Williams, Gwen Stefani, Ariana Grande, and a handful of other heavyweight acts, there were fireworks and confetti, surprise guests, and a nonstop stream of hits.
Pharrell touched on the female-centric nature of the evening in his monologues throughout his set.
“We are here to celebrate women tonight and their survival,” he said mid-way through his opener “Come Get It Bae,” where the hat-clad artist was joined by his backup dancers, the Baes, and, later in the evening, Gwen Stefani—who Pharrell introduced as his sister and the queen, acting as her hype man throughout a particularly stomping rendition of her 2004 hit “Hollaback Girl.”
