Pop star Madonna spoke out against the Paris terror attacks at an emotional concert in Stockholm, Sweden, on Saturday.
"It's been really hard, actually to get through the show because in many ways, I feel torn," she said. "Like, why am I up here dancing and having fun when people are crying over the loss of their loved ones? However, that is exactly what these people want to do. They want to shut us up. They want to silence us. And we won't let them."

She added, "I was going to cancel my show tonight, but then I thought to myself, 'Why should I give that to them? Why should I allow them to stop me and to stop us from enjoying freedom?'"
