Two hours into the 2018 Grammys, the singer took the stage flanked by an all-star lineup of female singers — including Cyndi Lauper, Camila Cabello, and Julia Michaels — to sing her scorched-earth ballad “Praying.” And Kesha, whose 2017 album Rainbow was one of the most searing and noteworthy of the year, let her voice fly through Madison Square Garden with visceral, righteous fury.
After a fiery, passionate introduction from Janelle Monae affirming the importance of speaking up against widespread sexual abuse across industries, Kesha and her co-stars took the stage in all white. It was a nod to a last-minute Grammys protest honoring the Time’s Up initiative, which had many Grammy guests sporting white roses to keep sexual harassment and assault at the forefront of the evening, no matter the winners. It was, as the Grammys voiceover told the audience before the previous commercial break, “a powerful Grammys moment from Kesha that speaks to our times.”
