A Must Watch – Kesha’s Emotional ‘Till It Happens To You’

Lady Gaga’s and Diane Warren’s “Till It Happens to You,”is a power ballad and an awakening about the sexual assault epidemic on college campuses. On Saturday night, Kesha performed the Oscar-nominated number at the Humane Society Gala in Los Angeles.

Prior to beginning the number, Kesha declared,“I want to dedicate this song to every man, woman, child and animal that has ever been abused.”

Unless you are living under a rock, you know the song is particularly poignant coming from Kesha. She had been embattled in a legal battle with Sony and producer Dr. Luke whom she accused of sexual assault and battery in 2014.

 

Watch to see the brave and emotional performance that is uniquely Kesha.
