Kesha brought her electrifying Tits Out Tour to the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in St. Louis last night, delivering a high-octane performance that celebrated freedom, self-expression, and unapologetic joy. With glam-pop legends Scissor Sisters and rising star Slayyyter as openers, the night was a vibrant spectacle of pop, dance, and glitter-drenched chaos, perfectly embodying Kesha’s liberated new era with her sixth album, Period, released on July 4, 2025.
The evening kicked off with Slayyyter, whose genre-bending pop set the stage ablaze with pulsating beats and bold energy. Despite a brief rain interruption that cut her performance short, her fierce delivery and club-ready tracks like “Daddy AF” had the early crowd buzzing. Scissor Sisters followed, marking their first U.S. tour in over a decade. Their set, filled with hits like “Take Your Mama” and “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’,” was a nostalgic yet fresh dance party, their signature glam-pop style meshing seamlessly with the tour’s vibrant aesthetic.
Kesha took the stage at 9:20 PM, greeted by a roaring crowd decked out in red (per her playful call for “single, horny, and down to flirt” fans to wear the color). Opening with the iconic “TiK ToK,” she set the tone for a night of relentless energy, blending career-defining hits with fresh tracks from Period. The setlist, mirroring her July 5 performance at the Kia Forum, was structured in thematic acts, showcasing her evolution as an artist. Highlights included the anthemic “Only Love Can Save Us Now,” the glitchy, hyperpop-infused “BOY CRAZY,” and the country-tinged “YIPPEE-KI-YAY” featuring T-Pain, which had the crowd singing along to its infectious hook.
Her vocals were a standout, transitioning effortlessly from the raw, emotional power of “Praying” to the sassy, carefree delivery of “Cannibal” and “We R Who We R.” The latter, paired with a snippet of Scissor Sisters’ “Let’s Have a Kiki,” ignited a massive singalong, with fans dancing under a shower of glitter—a Kesha concert staple. The production was visually stunning, with vibrant lighting, bold choreography, and Kesha’s signature costume changes, each outfit dripping in sequins and attitude. However, some fans noted the stage design leaned simpler than expected, relying heavily on lighting effects rather than elaborate props, a minor critique in an otherwise immersive show.
Kesha’s connection with the audience was palpable. She paused to share heartfelt words about love and acceptance, tying into her tour’s partnership with Feeld, a dating app for the open-minded. “Let’s fight chaos with love!” she declared, encouraging fans to embrace their authentic selves. This message resonated deeply, creating a safe, inclusive space where the diverse crowd—glittered, costumed, and unapologetic—felt united in celebration.
Despite weather challenges earlier in the tour (notably in Dallas, where rain rescheduled a show), St. Louis enjoyed a clear night, allowing the outdoor amphitheater to amplify the electric atmosphere. The set ran for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, closing with an emotional rendition of “CATHEDRAL,” a piano ballad from Period that reflected Kesha’s journey through trauma to triumph. The encore, featuring “Your Love Is My Drug” and “We R Who We R,” left the crowd euphoric, chanting for more as the lights dimmed at 11:05 PM.
Kesha’s St. Louis performance was a joyous, cathartic explosion of pop energy, blending her early hedonistic hits with the bold authenticity of her new work. Her powerhouse vocals, infectious charisma, and message of love made the night unforgettable. Fans left buzzing, already anticipating her next visit. If you’re seeking a concert that’s equal parts party and empowerment, Kesha delivers in spades.
