Carrie Underwood led the In Memoriam section with a rendition of the Christian hymn “Soft and Tenderly.” After performers’ images were shown, photos of the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting victims were put on display.

The black-and-white images of all 58 victims panned through through the screen as the tearful song played. Additionally, the crowd held candle lights.
