Kesha is finally free and she made that crystal clear last night during the opening night of her T!TS OUT TOUR in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Performing to a sold-out crowd of over 20,000 people, Kesha kicked off the most liberating tour of her career, independent, unapologetic, and unleashed. This isn’t a comeback, it’s a reclamation.

I’ve been praying for times like these,” she posted on social media the morning after. “Salt Lake City, the show I’ve been creating my entire life came alive on stage tonight. Thank you.

And what a show it was.

The tour opened with a stacked pre-show featuring Scissor Sisters and a flawless set by Slayyyter, who joined Kesha later in the night for a live performance of, ATTENTION!, aka pop perfection.

Kesha opened the show with the ultimate throwback: Right Round, the 2009 hit with Flo Rida that launched her into the stratosphere. And from there, it was hit after hit after hit: a whopping 37 songs in total (yes, really).

The full setlist includes songs like TIKTOK, Your Love Is My Drug, Crazy Kids, Sleazy, C’mon, Boy Crazy, Cannibal, Backstabber, Eat the Acid, Timber, Die Young, Praying, and of course, We R Who We R.

One of the night’s most emotional moments came when Kesha revealed that she re-produced all the songs from her first two albums for the tour, making this more than nostalgia. It’s a new era entirely.

Even better? Fans were treated to the first live performances in over a decade of Warrior and Crazy Kids, songs that haven’t seen the stage since 2012. The crowd knew every word.

And this is just the beginning. The T!TS OUT TOUR continues tomorrow, July 3rd in Mountain View, CA at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, just one day before the release of Kesha’s highly anticipated new album, . (PERIOD).

Tickets are on sale now, and if last night proved anything, it’s this: Kesha is still the moment, and this time, she owns every second of it.
