Hometown heroes Boyz II Men, who were popular in the 1990s, kicked off the first night. Singers Demi Lovato, Andra Day and Alicia Keys, all popular with millennials, performed, while Boomer-favorite Paul Simon sangBridge Over Troubled Water to soothe a divided party. Comedian Sarah Silverman; actresses Eva Longoria, America Ferrera and Lena Dunham spoke, as did Scandal‘s Tony Goldwyn. Hunger Games actress Elizabeth Banks appeared onstage in the cloud of a fog machine on the second night, mocking Trump’s reality show-like entrance at his own convention, then appeared in an a cappella video with other celebrities singing Clinton’s campaign theme “Fight Song” alongside songwriter Rachel Platten.
