In a shocking turn of events, pop singer Kesha recently performed a routine with a real knife instead of a prop, leaving fans and viewers alarmed. The incident took place during one of her performances, where Kesha mindlessly waved the large blade around before mimicking a stabbing motion towards her dancers, who were already covered in fake blood.

According to the singer, the prop knife had mysteriously gone missing, and without her knowledge, it was replaced with a real butcher knife that had been stolen from the kitchen. The dangerous substitution went unnoticed by the artist until now, prompting her to urge her fans to watch the routine again.

The incident sparked concern among spectators, with one popular comment questioning why a real knife was chosen instead of having a backup prop. The commenter expressed relief that nobody was harmed, considering that the knife was a focal point of the song's choreography, involving simulated stabbings towards Kesha's backup dancers.

Many echoed the sentiment, expressing shock and criticism towards the oversight. Some wondered why those responsible did not inform Kesha about the change, with one comment emphasizing the potential danger of the situation. Another user pointed out the added risk as Kesha was flailing the knife around in a hand covered in fake blood from a previous song.

The gravity of the situation was underscored by comparisons to recent tragedies, referencing the incident involving Alec Baldwin on the set of "Rust". Some called for immediate action, suggesting that everyone involved should be fired on the spot, highlighting the need to prioritize safety on stage.

It remains unclear why no one raised concerns or suggested the potential dangers of using a real knife in such choreography. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough safety protocols in the entertainment industry, especially when it involves props and potentially hazardous objects.

While Kesha and her team have not provided further statements regarding the incident, this alarming mishap sheds light on the potential risks that performers and their crews face during live performances. Hopefully, this incident prompts a renewed emphasis on safety measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
