Kesha is ending the U.S. leg of her tour with a bang, or rather, with nothing but a bath towel.

The “TiK ToK” singer took to Instagram to share a steamy mirror selfie snapped in what appears to be a luxe, marble-accented bathroom.

In the shot, Kesha stands sideways, holding a white towel across her body, strategically covering up while still flaunting her bare back, side profile, and fresh-out-of-the-shower wet hair.

Not everyone was impressed with Kesha’s sultry towel snap. Page Six’s report on the post sparked a wave of criticism from some readers, who took aim at both her appearance and her choice to bare skin.

One commenter dismissed her as “another washed up old lady singer,” lumping her in with fellow pop icons Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, and Katy Perry.

Others got even harsher, branding her “Tra$ha” and claiming, “These washed up females do anything for attention these days. The older they get, the less clothes they use.”

Some critics also framed her boldness as a lack of dignity, with one writing, “What is wrong with these women? Put some clothes on and get some self-respect.”
