Kesha is celebrating her freedom. On Friday night, the musician headlined West Hollywood Pride at OutLoud Fest and shared onstage that the concert marked her first show since becoming a free woman after settling her decade-long lawsuit with Dr. Luke last summer.
“This is my first show as a free motherfucking woman,” Kesha told the crowd before debuting a new song titled “Mother” onstage. During her 45-minute headlining set, the singer also debuted a track aptly titled “Freedom,” as she asked the crowd, “ Anybody else feeling free as fuck tonight?” Kesha packed her performance with some of her greatest hits from the early 2010s, including “Blow,” “Timber,” “Backstabber,” and “Tik Tok,” on which she replaced the song’s opening lyric to “Wake up in the morning like Fuck P Diddy” in reference to the myriad assault accusations against the music mogul. (She and Renée Rapp did the same while performing the track together at Coachella.
) Kesha closed her show by performing “Praying,” her emotional Rainbow song about her legal battle with Luke, and the queer anthem “ We R Who We R, ” as drag stars Morphine Love Dion and Laganja Estranga joined her onstage and a message that read “Kesha’s music makes people gay” played on screen. “I fucking love you,” she told the crowd at the end of her show. We was wearing a leather jacket with the word “Freedom” written in jewels on the back.
The performance comes about a year after she se.
