Gwen appeared onstage tonight for a special private performance at Apollo in the Hamptons, an annual fundraising show hosted in New York at “Ronald Perelman’s home in East Hampton to raise funds for education and mentoring programs for youth at the iconic Harlem theater,” reported Page Six. The event went on to raise $5 million dollars and the star-studded audience included Usher, Jennifer Lopez and Jack Nicholson.
Gwen showed up to the event in a sun dress for soundcheck and later hit the stage and performed a few of her biggest hits including “The Sweet Escape”, “Hella Good”, “Hollaback Girl” alongside Pharrell Williams, “Go Ahead and Break My Heart” with Blake Shelton and a reggae-ish type version of “Don’t Speak”. Outlets are reporting that Blake was a last-minute addition to the show’s lineup with Gwen and even had to borrow fellow headliner Jon Bon Jovi’s guitar for the performance.
It was announced in early July that Gwen had postponed her tour stop in Fresno to make it out to the Hamptons event which was rescheduled on August 27.

She looked and sounded amazing and we hope to see more footage from the performance! Check out a few clips courtesy of lucky attendees.

That food looks like slop.
Meh. The only interesting thing here is the food.
Wow what great pix! Thanks! Love seeing all these and the videos. Her schedule has been grueling– they flew out after the Vegas show and flew back to LA after the Hamptons. Worthy cause, so good they could make it. Gwen was the headliner.
After seeing her in June I just amazed by her. Love Blake tooâ¤ï¸
Love Gwen so so talented! What a great cause to support! She and Blake look amazing !
Ha, I was trying to see what food was on Gwen’s plate. Although I thought I read somewhere she was a Vegan, the food looks like veggies and salmon?
I’ve read that she’s vegan. I’ve also read that she’s vegetarian and pescatarian. Not sure which one is true. I doubt she’s vegan because her snapchats show her eating lots of cheese lol and when one is vegan it’s usually because you are a big animal activist and she would use her voice more like Tony. I think she may be follow either a vegetarian or pescatarian diet for health and fitness purposes. I’m vegetarian and love animals but I’m not at Tony’s level.
