the show contained numerous references to barack obama, most notably when kanye west and estelle finished their song "american boy" with the us president-elect's face projected onto a giant screen behind them. jared leto, shannon leto and tomo miličević from thirty seconds to mars wore obama t-shirts, and jared leto also asked the crowd to stand in honour of the democratic senator. amid cheers, he said: "liverpool, lets hear it for barack obama." host katy perry remarked, "maybe europe will love us again now."
