Several users echoed similar sentiments. One pointed out, “This is what happens when you become irrelevant,” and another lamented, “Music should be art, not porn!”
Reactions continued with one user saying, “I’m so sick of this,” while another echoed, “It’s vulgar.” A viewer expressed, “I’m embarrassed and disliked this.”
Another clip from Kesha’s performance showcased her dancing provocatively with male dancers, even kissing one and getting close during her song “Die Young.”
Responses on social media varied, with a user commenting, “Not good,” while another criticized her for trying anything to regain attention.
