WASHINGTON, D.C. (CelebrityAccess) The Kennedy Center Honors, taped earlier this month, aired on CBS last night with Adam Lambert’s rendition of Cher’s hit “Believe” easily one of the night’s biggest moments.
The ceremony featured tributes to Cher, Reba McEntire, Philip Glass, Wayne Shorter and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton,” but it was Lambert’s version of Cher’s biggest hit that brought the audience to its feet, and caused Cher to be visibly moved by the performance.
