Kesha’s newfound freedom takes centre stage during Only Love Tour – review
Kesha took her highly anticipated ‘Only Love Tour’ to Orlando, Florida in a show that celebrated her longstanding legacy while looking towards a brighter future.
WORDS BY CONOR CLARK Attending a Kesha concert in 2023 without some knowledge of the legal battles she was tied up in throughout the last decade is impossible – and she knows it too.
Instead of opening her show in Orlando, Florida with the smash hit ‘Tik Tok’ or the diamond-selling ‘Timber’ like she may have several years ago, she takes to the stage belting out ‘Only Love Can Save Us Now’, a liberating anthem from her latest album ‘Gag Order’. “Not anymore bitch,” she shouts to a crowd erupting with applause after singing a lyric about getting sued over her mother’s tweets.
The moment, despite being brief, is reflective of the apparent theme of ‘The Only Love Tour’ – freedom. Instead of making the night a reflection of her trauma, Kesha opts to treat her thousands of fans packing out the Hard Rock Live in Orlando on 20 October to a celebration of her life and music.
