Kesha performs a simulated sex act on a dancer during her stage performance, captured by an onlooker's camera.
The audience at Europe's largest annual LGBTQ+ music festival, Mighty Hoopla 2025 in London, was left speechless by Kesha's performance over the weekend. During her energetic show, Kesha pulled out a surprising stunt while performing "Boy Crazy." She simulated oral sex with one of her dancers, leaving the crowd and the internet scratching their heads.
The aftermath of the scandal saw a flurry of activity on X, the ex-Twitter. While some fans admired Kesha's bold and unapologetic attitude, others criticized her actions, calling it a distasteful gimmick to grab attention. One user said, "That was the only good song I liked from her recently, and now I can't stand her after that performance! What the hell was she thinking?" Another commented, "She's grasping for relevance in pop music. It's all about shock value now, rather than substance."
Later in the show, Kesha took it up a notch. While performing "Die Young," she locked lips with two dancers and danced suggestively on top of one of them, drawing mixed reactions from the audience.
Kesha, a former pop music sensation, hasn't spoken publicly about the controversy yet. She's back in the spotlight after settling legal disputes with her former manager.
All this commotion had many wondering about the boundaries of artistic expression. Kesha's performance sparked debates and divided opinions, with some applauding her theatrics and emotional delivery, while others deemed it inappropriate and vulgar.[1][2]
