Kesha celebrates her greatness in a 'temporary' TikTok tribute

Singer Cache says goodbye to the social media platform TikTok reminding fans of the greatness of her hit song “TiK ToK”.

Kesha's post comes amid news that the Supreme Court has upheld a ban on TikTok in the United States.

Several app users reacted to the news of the banning of the app by saying goodbye.

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

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

So it's not surprising that there are theories suggesting that her hit song influenced the name of the social media platform.

Consequently, as netizens said goodbye to the app, Kesha couldn't find a playful angle in her eulogy.

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

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

One fan commented: “You are so TRUE!”

Another fan added: “This is great.”

A third person gushed: “Really! Cash for life!”

Another fan recalled how Kesha's song changed after the TikTok update. They asked, “Doesn't anyone remember that this song was literally the first trend after the TikTok update?”

Meanwhile, another fan shared how much they appreciate Kesha's music. They wrote: “Once I played all your hits at an old biker bar and so many old men were so happy to see one girl in her 20s. Long live Kesha!”

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

Kesha said the lyrics to “TiK ToK” represent her and are based on her life. The lyrics conveyed a carefree message as the narrator talks about how they don't let anything get them down.

“TiK ToK” was a huge success, spending nine weeks as the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100. 1, and was certified 12 times by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

To date, the song has sold over 18 million digital copies worldwide and is still doing well, making Kesha's claims in her video very valid.

Kesha's video recording came a day before the Supreme Court supported TikTok ban in the US. on friday,

The Supreme Court's decision to uphold a federal law effectively banning the social media app means Americans can no longer use the platform unless TikTok decides to divest itself of Chinese ownership at the last minute.

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

The president-elect had asked the Supreme Court to delay the implementation of the law so he could take action after taking office.

However, the Supreme Court ignored his request, despite Trump promising to use his presidential power to “save” the app.

As Americans prepare for the Tik Tok ban to take effect, many of the app's influencers have started saying goodbye the best way they know how.

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

Users also pay tribute by sharing viral trends like the Renegade dance and reminiscing about early TikTok content.

Meanwhile, MrBeast has offered to buy the platform, promising “know TikTok” if sold to a non-Chinese owner.

However, due to the uncertainty surrounding TikTok, some users are already switching to another app, RedNote, in hopes of continuing to enjoy similar content.

As it stands, TikTok's future in the US seems sealed unless there's a last-minute miracle.
