Kesha Says Prop Knife Was Switched With a Real One at Lollapalooza Without Her Knowing

Kesha says that her prop knife was switched with a real one at Lollapalooza, which she didn't realize at the time. Get the details.

The knife in question appeared midway through the musician’s set in Chicago, as captured in videos from her performance of “Backstabber.” As she sang the Animal deep cut (no pun intended), Kesha swung the prop around, pointed it at the audience and twirled it in circles, apparently not realizing that she was holding an actual blade. During her set, the California native also performed her new single “Joyride,” which fittingly dropped on the Fourth of July as it marked her first release as an independent artist, having completed her contract with Kemosabe Records in December. Kesha also put the Ohio senator on blast while on her way to LAX last week, calling his comments about the Democratic party being made up of “childless cat ladies” sexist.
