And to those who would dare try and silence us, we offer two words: Time’s Up,” Monáe pronounced. “Because you see, it’s not just going on in Hollywood, it’s not just going on in Washington D.C., it’s going on in our industry as well. And just as we have the power to shape culture, we have the power to undo the culture that does not serve us well. So let’s work together, women and men, as a united music industry committed to creating more safe work environments, equal pay, and access for all women.”  Janelle Monae introduces a performance by Kesha at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, Jan. 28, 2018. Lucas Jackson—Reuters Dressed all in white, Kesha and her cohort of female stars brought the crowd to their feet with their rendition of “Praying.” Some audience members were spotted in tears as the song ended, as well as Kesha herself.
