Que artista, senhores!

To pasmo
@CineTrack a 1 all
Speaking in public gives me panic attacks
I know a lot of people do. Exposing yourself to speak in from of people more will help with that. Talk in front of your friends. And then small groups of people. And that will help a ton.
She is inspiring
I feel so good, why are you so mad, and I’m so happy
I just like Kesha! A great artist and strong woman!
Courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s pressing onward through the challenge in spite of it.
Yep, there is no courage without fear
Wonderful artist and beautiful person. Real role model.
“offending people who wanna be offended” is spot the f on!
MEU QUERIDO, EU SOU CANTORAAAAAA

I’m one of those that is just itching to have that one break out perfomance in life.
Her voice is beyond beautiful. Loved everything about this performance. The artistic direction is unmatched. ✨✨
This was a nice breath of fresh air, with all the negatively and hate going on.
Breath. Lol breathe is an action. Breath is the object.
Breath of fresh air. Breathe it in.
If only more felt this way, this would be paradise.
This performance slay so much. Kesha slay so much.
my favorite person on this planet. Anyone who is reading this, I love you, you are worthy, I hope you have an amazing day, and even if you don’t it will be okay because there are thousands of good days coming to you. Don’t let the shadows take away your sunshine. <3
Kesha is the perfect example, that whatever you did in the past, doesnt matter. You can be who ever you want, you just have to do it.
That’s the same person that made TikTok, not saying it’s a bad song, loved it at the time, but this is clearly something new.
This sounded like the song “rainbow” by her. Love it when she does songs like these!!❤️❤️
the vocals, the outfit, the backdrop, the backing vocals, the harp, the message, the sooooong
I’m in awe
This was absolutely stunning. Kesha has evolved so much as a person and an artist. I’m so happy I’ve watched her grow over their years.
