applauded
An applauded person or performance gets a lot of praise and cheering from an audience.
When we applaud someone or something, it's usually because they did something really well. Imagine you're at a concert and your favorite singer is performing their best song ever - everyone around you will probably stand up and clap to show how much they loved the music. When we see people doing something amazing on TV or in real life, like winning an award or giving a great speech, we often applaud them too. It's a way of showing that what they did was impressive and worth celebrating.
