Madonna's concert in Stockolm, Sweden on Saturday almost didn't happen, but we're glad it did.

The pop star took a moment during her concert to give an emotional speech in recognition of the attacks in Paris on Friday. "It's disturbed me all day," she began. She mentioned that she almost cancelled her event after hearing the news of the attacks.

She wiped tears from her face as she told the audience, "why am I up here dancing and having fun when people are crying over the loss of their loved ones?" However, she concluded, "Why should I give that to them? Why should I allow them to stop me?"
