If anyone at the Delaware State Fair was curious why the hard-partying
"Delaware!" the heavily-mascaraed 24-year-old shouted, wearing a black one-piece paired with ripped fishnets. "Are you ready to party?"
The high-pitched screams of the crowd, dominated by school-age girls and teens, gave Ke$ha the answer she was looking for before breaking open a 90-minute, 15-song set of her biggest hits.
Given the sometimes raunchy nature of Ke$ha's act -- after all, this is called the "Get $leazy Tour" -- fair officials had promised a PG show from the trash pop queen, whose regular shows normally veer closer to an R rating. The originally scheduled opening act, dirty rap duo Spank Rock, had already been bounced in favor of the Seattle pop act Champagne Champagne.
Still, at the time of the show's announcement, some fairgoers were not happy with the booking, especially considering the fair's family-friendly atmosphere. And leading up to the show, it was hard to imagine what a PG-rated Ke$ha show would look like.
