The show must go on. But there's still room for reflection in the process.

The Lemonade singer took a moment to honor the lives lost over the weekend in Florida after a gunman killed at least 49 people at Pulse gay nightclub was targeted by a man who pledged allegiance to ISIS. On Friday, singer Christina Grimmie was fatally shot by a man following a concert in the area.
