Kesha's Dallas concert was canceled on Tuesday amid Texas' deadly floods, the singer announced via social media.
Newsweek reached out to Kesha's representative for comment outside regular working hours.
The Context
Flash flooding swept through the central part of the state on Friday, prompting mass evacuations and causing extensive damage. At the time of publication, over 100 people have died, and more than 160 are still missing, The Associated Press reported.
Camp Mystic, a Christian girls' camp located near the Guadalupe River—which rose to 26 feet in just 45 minutes—saw a large number of those deaths, including 27 campers and counselors.

What To Know
On Wednesday, Kesha took to X, formerly Twitter, and her Instagram Stories to share the news about her concert.
"I wanted to say thank you for coming out to support an independent artist. I have been so excited for tonight and to celebrate my freedom and go t*** out with all of you, but due to the weather and what yall [sic] here in Texas have been facing, I have to put your safety first," she said to her 3 million X followers and 3.5 million Instagram followers. "My heart is with you Texas. I'm so sorry that I can't play this show tonight because of the weather and for all of your safety."
The 38-year-old added that she planned to reschedule the show for the following evening.
"I'm going to stay here in your beautiful city and come back here tomorrow and would love to play for all of you tomorrow night. All of your tickets will be honored and I'm so sorry. Get home safe, let's party tomorrow."
Kesha's T*** Out Tour began earlier this month, and several shows are already sold out—including on July 23 at Madison Square Garden in New York City and on March 4 at the Uber Eats Music Hall in Berlin, Germany.
What People Are Saying
President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday: "I just signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County, Texas, to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need. These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing. The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was on the ground yesterday with Governor Greg Abbott, who is working hard to help the people of his Great State. Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard, together with State First Responders, have saved more than 850 lives. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!"
Governor of Texas Greg Abbott said via X that he visited the flood site on Tuesday: "Today, I returned to Kerr County to survey flood damage. Our hearts grieve for this community and surrounding areas. Right now, our #1 job is to find every single missing person. We will not leave until that job is done."
Actor and Texas native Matthew McConaughey said on Instagram: "At least 70 lives have been lost, many more unaccounted for, and countless Texans are hurting—inside and out. If you're able, please lend a helping hand where and how you can. It's gonna be a long road ahead, but right now the shock, the pain, and the chaos need the steady hand of a neighbor. Texans are some of the most resilient and generous people on the planet."
Grammy Award-winning singer Maren Morris added on Instagram: "thinking of my home state right now. the floods are devastating and people are still missing. there are several places to donate but i'll be donating to an incredibly impactful fund called the Texas Hill Country Community Foundation. they've set up a specific fund to support local efforts (nonprofits, local government, first responders and local shelters). link in my stories + bio."
What Happens Next
Kesha resumes her official tour dates on July 10 in The Woodlands, Texas. The tour concludes in March 2026.

Penguin Random House editor shared post mocking murdered exec Wesley LePatner

A top editor at Penguin Random House allegedly mocked the murder of Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner in a bizarre Instagram post which blamed her for the housing crisis and ending with 'rest in piss.' Thomas Gebremedhin, vice president and executive editor at Doubleday Books, shared the vile Instagram story highlighting an X post about Monday's mass shooting at 345 Park Ave., where LePatner, 46, was gunned down while trying to shield herself behind a marble pillar. 'Her sole job was making sure housing is expensive and that we all rent for the rest of our lives,' read the original post portraying LePatner — a Jewish mom of two — as the face of unaffordable housing. 4 Thomas Gebremedhin, a VP and executive editor at Penguin Random House, reposted an X post screenshot about LePatner's death, sparking backlash across social media. William – 'She made $9,000 a minute … Rest in piss.' Social media users were quick to point out that LePatner did not earn '$9,000 a minute,' and condemned the post, which was first made in response to Blackstone's official memorial tweet and flagged by Free Press reporter Maya Sulkin. 'It's not just people in the dark corners of the internet justifying LePatner's murder,' Sulkin wrote in a Friday X post. 'It's people like Thomas Gebremedhin.' 4 LePatner's 14-year-old daughter tearfully called her 'my rock' at Thursday's funeral service at Central Synagogue, held just blocks from where she was killed. Zuma/Billy Tompkins / The tone-deaf repost stunned many in the publishing world, where Gebremedhin moves in elite literary circles. His Instagram, @tgebremedhin, is private but screenshots of the story began circling online this week, triggering widespread condemnation. 'Book publishing industry is full of scum. Probably more woke than the worst universities,' one user commented under Sulkin's post. Another wrote: 'The Left be like: anyone with a lot of money deserves to be murdered, unless they're Hamas terrorist billionaires.' 4 Wesley LePatner, a mother of two and top Blackstone executive, was shot and killed Monday in the lobby of her Midtown office building during a mass shooting. Blackstone '[He] should be fired … absolutely deplorable,' a third chimed in. LePatner, who was global head of Core+ Real Estate and chief executive officer for Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, was mourned by her firm and family as 'brilliant,' 'warm' and 'deeply respected.' She served on the board of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, mentored young women and was honored by UJA-Federation for her Jewish philanthropy. She was shot dead Monday by gunman Shane Tamura, who killed four before turning the gun on himself. LePatner had crouched behind a pillar in the lobby of 345 Park as bullets flew. 4 Shooter Shane Tamura opened fire inside 345 Park Ave., killing four — including LePatner — before fatally turning the gun on himself, police said. Obtained by NY Post Her teenage daughter called her 'my rock' during a tearful funeral Thursday at Central Synagogue in Midtown, where more than 500 mourners gathered just blocks from the site of her death. Neither Penguin Random House nor Gebremedhin immediately returned messages seeking comment.
