We Heart This

Nothing presses pause and melts your fears and worries away quite like music; it's absolutely transportive and an instant mood lifter. And just because you're social distancing and sheltering at home—you are, right?—doesn't mean you can't still enjoy a live performance. Here, a few we've bookmarked.

Dance Dance Revolution
DJ D-Nice is regularly streaming virtual dance parties, dubbed Club Quarantine. His first set—which took place on March 17 as the reality of the pandemic began to set in—brought people together in a moment of uplift and groove. Everyone who's anyone has "stopped by" on Instagram Live: Rihanna, Oprah, Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys, Patti LaBelle, Snoop Dogg, John Legend… even Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and presidential hopefuls Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. Head to his Instagram to see when he's hitting the turntables next.

La Vie Parisienne
Singer and songwriter (and daughter of Jane Birkin) Lou Doillon is hosting daily Instagram concerts, at 11 AM ET, from her apartment in Paris. In her latest set, she sang a beautiful rendition of the Bill Withers' classic, "Ain't No Sunshine," that you can still catch in her IG posts.

At-Home Opera House
New York's renowned Metropolian Opera is streaming its “Live in HD” broadcasts every night for free, starting at 7:30 PM, here.

Miley & Friends
Every weekday, at 2:30 PM ET, Miley Cyrus hosts Bright Minded, her new show that started in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The theme: "Connecting w/ special guests discussing how to stay LIT in dark times!" Past guests have included Elton John, Kerry Washington, Diplo, Reese Witherspoon and Selena Gomez.

Country Strong
On April 5 at 8 PM, CBS will present a two-hour live show, ACM Presents: Our Country, featuring performances by Carrie Underwood, Florida Georgia Line, Lady Antebellum, Sheryl Crow, Shania Twain and others. Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker will honor Kenny Rogers, who passed away last month.

Total Request Live
Musical couple Katharine McPhee and David Foster—she's a singer and actress; he, a composer and producer with 16 Grammys to his name—are taking to their piano at 8:30 PM, mostly nightly, to perform songs suggested by fans. Anything goes, from Broadway to Disney to pop to country.
