The Kesha comeback is now. After a decade-long lawsuit against her producer regarding claims of sexual violence and emotional abuse, Kesha has re-emerged in the music industry as a fearless advocate for the rights of women and the LGBTQ+ community.
Her new albums feature a more personal, mature and emotionally empowering narrative. “She used her music and voice to get her through hard times, and I encourage everyone to do the same,” Livia Mayfield PO’28 writes.
Mayfield asks students to support Kesha’s positive platform, in a time where mainstream media mistakenly gives celebrities with loose conceptions of morality the most attention.
