    Kesha has cancelled a concert in Dallas, Texas after the state was devastated by flash floods

    The 38-year-old pop star had been due to perform at the city's Dos Equis Pavilion venue on Tuesday (08.07.25), but she called off the gig with just hours to go amid safety fears after heavy rain on Friday (04.07.25) caused the banks of the Guadalupe River to burst leaving more than 110 people dead with more than 170 still missing


    In a statement posted on X and Instagram, Kesha wrote: "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 here in Texas have been facing, I have to put your safety first. 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."

    However, Kesha insisted she plans to reschedule the show for Wednesday night (09.07.25) and hopes to perform as long as it's safe to do so.

    She added: "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 is due to perform another gig in Texas in The Woodlands on Thursday (10.07.25) before she takes her tour to Illinois.

    Fellow pop star Shakira performed in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday night (05.07.25) as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour and she promised to give a portion of the profits to a charity helping those impacted by the disaster.

    In a post on X, Shakira wrote: "Dear San Antonio, Our hearts and prayers are with those affected by the flood in Central Texas.

    "We are donating a portion of tonight's show proceeds to Catholic Charities of San Antonio, who are providing disaster relief to the families impacted.

    "If you would like to join me in donating, please click on the link below. Your help is important and appreciated."

    Shakira added a link to fundraising drive operated by the Catholic Charities organisation, which aims to "deliver emergency supplies, including bottled water, blankets, clothing, and hygiene kits to areas impacted by catastrophic flooding".
