Tori Kelly came out to the Emmys and performed an emotional version of Hallelujah In Memoriam for all the people we lost this year.
The 23-year-old songstress admitted that she got a little bit choked up while rehearsing for Sunday’s Emmys. The “Hollow” songstress went for a classic look for her very first Emmys celebration tonight.
“It was just very moving for me,” she told ET’s Kevin Frazier on the red carpet. “I tried not to look at the screen because that’s where they are showing everybody, [but] I did catch Prince at the end … I was like, ‘Aw, dang it!’ I’m going to try and keep my composure and pay my respect.”
People on social media were impressed with her performance of the song.

The Emmy Awards salute excellence in national primetime programming, presenting top honors annually at both the Creative Arts Emmy Awards and Engineering Emmy Awards ceremonies, as well as the Emmy Awards telecast.
The Emmy Awards are administered by three sister organizations, which focus on various sectors of television and broadband programming: Television Academy (primetime), National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (daytime, sports, news and documentary) and International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (international).
The Primetime Emmy Award is a symbol of peer recognition from over 20,000 Television Academy members. Each member casts a ballot for the category of competition in their field of expertise.
