Kesha Celebrates Her Greatness In Eulogy To ‘Temporary’ TikTok

Singer Kesha is saying goodbye to the social media platform TikTok by reminding fans of the greatness of her hit song, “TiK ToK.”

Kesha’s post comes amid news that the Supreme Court has upheld TikTok’s ban in the United States of America.

Several app users have reacted to the news of the app’s ban by saying their goodbyes.

On Thursday, Kesha reacted to the news of the ban of TikTok in America by reminding her fans of one of her famous songs that will live forever.

Kesha released the song “TiK ToK” in August 2009, while the social media app TikTok was founded in September 2016.

Hence, the existence of theories suggesting that her hit song influenced the social media platform’s name isn’t surprising.

Thus, as netizens say goodbye to the app, Kesha couldn’t help but find a playful angle in her eulogy.

She shared a video of herself in a black hoodie, blinking at the camera, while her “TiK ToK” played in the background.

Many of Kesha’s fans found her video and caption hilarious and shared their thoughts in the comments section.

One fan commented, “you are so RIGHT!”

A second fan added, “This is excellent.”

A third person expressed, “Yes indeed! Kesha for life!”

Another fan recalled how Kesha’s song trended after a TikTok update. They asked, “Does no one remember that this song was literally the first trend after the TikTok update?”

Meanwhile, another fan shared how much they appreciated Kesha’s music. They wrote, “One time I played all your hits in an old biker bar and so many old men were so happy to see the one girl in her 20s having the time of her life. Long Live Kesha!”

The song was the lead single of her debut studio album, “Animal,” which was released in 2010.

Kesha said the lyrics of “TiK ToK” represented her and were based on her life. The song’s lyrics passed a carefree message as the narrator talks about how they don’t let anything weigh them down.

“TiK ToK” enjoyed massive success as it spent nine weeks as the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified 12 times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

So far, the song has sold over 18 million digital copies globally and continues to do well, making Kesha’s claims in her video very much valid.

Kesha’s video post came a day before the Supreme Court upheld TikTok’s ban in the US. On Friday,

The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the federal law that effectively bans the social media app means Americans can no longer use the platform unless TikTok decides in the last minute to divest from Chinese ownership.

The ban will take effect on Sunday, a day before President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The President-elect had asked the Supreme Court to delay the law’s implementation to enable him act after assuming office.

However, the Supreme Court didn’t heed his plea, though Trump vowed to use his power as the president to “save” the app.

As Americans prepare for Tik Tok’s ban to take effect, many influencers on the app have begun to say their goodbyes in the best way they know how to.

Influencer Haley Kalil, known as HaleyyBaylee, addressed controversy over a 2024 Met Gala video using the phrase “let them eat cake,” claiming TikTok suggested the audio. Makeup star Meredith Duxbury also revisited her foundation trend, revealing she wiped off excess product in her iconic videos.

Users are also paying homage by sharing viral trends like the Renegade dance and reminiscing about early TikTok content.

Meanwhile, MrBeast has offered to buy the platform, vowing to “save TikTok” if it’s sold to a non-Chinese owner.

Yet, amid the uncertainty surrounding TikTok, some users are already transitioning to another ap, RedNote, hoping to continue enjoying similar content.

As it stands, the future of TikTok in the US looks sealed unless a last-minute miracle happens.
