'I'll bring thunder I'll bring rain!' Kesha belted out a powerful performance of her emotional track Praying on Ellen on Friday
The singer took to the stage in an glistening short white dress with studded jewels and feather detailing.
Initially accompanied by a sole piano, the heavy percussion kicked in as the second chorus took off, before the full band, backing singers and even a sting quartet joined in.
When she first released it in July, Kesha explained the meaning behind the song in a post on Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter blog.
'I have channeled my feelings of severe hopelessness and depression, I've overcome obstacles, and I have found strength in myself even when it felt out of reach,' she wrote. I've found what I had thought was an unobtainable place of peace.

'This song is about coming to feel empathy for someone else even if they hurt you or scare you. It's a song about learning to be proud of the person you are even during low moments when you feel alone.
'It's also about hoping everyone, even someone who hurt you, can heal.'
While she never mentions him by name, many commentators believe the song is about her former producer Dr Luke, whom she accused of raping her, which led to a prolonged and messy legal battle over her contract.

Praying was co-written by Ryan Lewis; on Thursday his longtime collaborator Macklemore released the video for his latest track Good Old Days, which also features Kesha.
Kesha's Rainbow tour kicked off last weekend with her performance at the Kaaboo festival in Del Mar, San Diego.
The 25-date tour circles the united states, with a single show in Toronto Canada, and its final show in London, England.
