Katy Perry - Roar (Official)
Last night, pop divas Katy Perry and Lady Gaga injected a little music into Hillary Clinton"s campaign. While Perry took the stage at the televised Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Gaga made a more intimate performance a few miles away, in Camden, NJ. They join the long list of artists, including Demi Lovato, Boyz II Men, Paul Simon and Carole King, who have sung at the DNC this week.

Perry"s set marked her first major live performance of her newest song "Rise," which she released two weeks ago. She sang the tune, which doubles as a Rio Olympics anthem, followed by her 2013 power-song "Roar."
"I"m asking you to have an open mind and to use your voice, because on November 8th, you"ll be just as powerful as any NRA lobbyist. You"ll have as much say as any billionaire. Or you can just cancel out our weird cousin"s vote, if you like. Because, remember, it"s not where you come from, it"s what you grow into," she rallied the audience before breaking into song.
Perry, who"s joined Clinton on multiple stops on her campaign tour, also urged the viewers to donate to hillaryclinton.com with an interesting bribe: "Maybe I"ll let you borrow one of my outfits," she joked.
Meanwhile in Camden, Lady Gaga took a more laid-back approach (dressed in a white tank top and black ripped jeans) at a free, invite-only event for delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
Though she didn"t sing any of her own songs, she performed moving covers of Woody Guthrie"s "This Land Is Your Land," Neil Young"s "Old Man," and The Beatles" "Come Together." For an encore, she returned with Edith Piaf"s "La Vie en Rose." Lenny Kravtiz also performed at the event.
