During her performance at Lollapalooza, pop star Kesha revealed that she unknowingly used a real butcher knife instead of a prop blade, which was swapped without her knowledge by the stage crew. In a post on X, she expressed shock, noting that the prop knife went missing and was replaced with a stolen kitchen knife. The performance involved choreographed stabbing motions towards her dancers, raising safety concerns and drawing comparisons to the tragic 'Rust' shooting incident. Social media users reacted in horror, questioning how such a dangerous error could occur and calling for accountability. Kesha's set was part of a larger festival lineup that included artists like Megan Thee Stallion and Blink-182, but the incident overshadowed the excitement of the event. As of now, the whereabouts of the original prop knife remain unclear.
