Ke$ha - Praying [Live At The 60th Annual Grammy Awards 2018]

[@dannabeecher9444]

People saying she was singing like she was “reading” and emotionless as if it isn’t obvious that she was trying not to sob.

[@rayshort78]

and all the peoples saying shes plain out bad like erm lets see you load up smth like logic and record some vocals, and instrumentals at that lmfaoo

[@Sennario]

Never forget this woman put the first crack in the shell of what’s going on in the music industry with revealing what happened with Dr.Luke

[@BorealicIceberg]

The punks taught us that being real was a thousand times more important than any kind of technical perfection. This song, this performance, elevated Kesha to a totally different league. No matter what happens in her life again, she took her narrative back and showed the world who she was.

[@laciminder8718]

Her emotions while singing this had me in tears ❤ good for you girl! Tell your story, sing it loud

[@christopheri.7811]

I cannot even function right now. Kesha and this song has been a steady source of strength for me for a long time now, but I am absolutely wrecked to see these absolute icons singing backup with her because they fully know down in their souls what this song is about. Thank you Kesha and everyone who made this performance possible, you've saved a life tonight and I pray for everyone of you.

[@gna7679]

You can truly feel the emotion when she sings, no matter how "bad" people say she was. I still get goosebumps.

[@Ms.MommaShark]

Here is 2024 showing support for her and proud of all she’s overcome. Also showing support for her changing her P Diddy lyric in her some Tik Tok

[@thirtyright]

So much respect for her, she took on the devil.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Wow! That hug at the end! The raw emotion throughout the song! The power needed to perform this in a room of industry people! Anyone nitpicking notes are missing the point by a mile! Wow!

[@msglimmertwin52]

I just watched this again. The song, and Kesha's performance, is so many emotions. Sadness, anger, revenge, resentment. But then towards the end you realize it's also about forgiveness, dignity, strength, healing and oh goodness, Kesha if you're reading this, I love you. I truly love you. You have a powerful testimony honey.

[@Moonshinehearts]

This kind of thing is universal. Drum circles are important to healing in many different cultures. Singing with your community. Harmonizing together to bring healing and light into this world to combat the pain and sadness

[@Ernie1978]

Now this is everything a performance should be. A record that's meaningful and an emotional delivery of its message. Kesha might have been nervous but it only adorned the performance even more. And then, there's that choir of stars! ❤

[@Becca._E]

Thank you, Kesha. You've given so many victims strength by sharing your story and with this song.

[@Scbms1_9-09]

If I were Kesha probably I couldn’t sing in front of abuser supporters. Such a powerful woman she is.

[@elvinchaparro3720]

Kesha, youre saving with your lyrics. Never stop writing music.

[@cookiealexd123]

She didnt write this. A man did.

[@mortician77]

​@@cookiealexd123 "The track originated from Ryan Lewis, who contacted Kesha and offered her an early version of the song." which i think means the instrumentals and the sound were created by ryan lewis, but the lyrics were written by kesha and cleaned up by a few other writers. kesha has stated that she wrote the song as a way to air out her frustrations and anger with dr luke and the SA court case

[@Picachki]

I love this song. She was so emotional here I think she didn’t preform to the best of her ability but I respect her strength to get up on that stage and face the world.

[@Illyria1217]

2924 and I still feel the emotion through her singing.

We didnt get to see it. 2024.. here it is and its beautiful and the most powerful and overwhelming performance ever seen. Amazing Kesha. You must have gone through it to find it in yourself.. looks like you made it.
