Kesha gave an emotional performance of her 2017 song “Rainbow” during the Global Pride 2020 virtual event.
“I really think you are the future,” Kesha said in a prerecorded message from her home ahead of Saturday’s performance (June 27). “You inspire me with your energy, your heart, your voices and the way you act.”
The 33-year-old singer, who released her fourth album, Highway, earlier this year, urged viewers to vote in the upcoming election.
“If you’re 18, you better vote in November. We need you,” he said. “If you’re not 18 yet, make sure people know that you matter. You’re going to change the world.”
Global Pride, a 24-hour live stream hosted by Todrick Hall (BillboardThe recent cover star) brought solidarity and celebratory vibes to the LGBTQ + community, while Pride Month in-person events were canceled amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The event also featured artists like Adam Lambert, Big Freedia, and Laverne Cox, as well as politicians like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Justin Trudeau.
