Celebs having been flocking to Indio, California, for this year's Coachella.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been spotted enjoying the three-day musical festival as the pair cheered on Ice Spice during her set.

Elsewhere, Billie Eilish sent fans into a frenzy as she joined Lana Del Ray on stage in a surprise guest appearance.

Another rapturously received surprise guest was Kesha, who was invited to perform alongside Mean Girls star Reneé Rapp yesterday (April 14).

Kesha performed her 2010 song TiK ToK on stage - but changed the track's opening lyrics.

The song's original lyrics go: "Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy."

However, in the wake of his ongoing civil lawsuits accusing him of sex trafficking, sexual abuse and rape, she decided to change them.

The 'Last Night' rapper's homes were raided by federal agents last month.

His attorney called the raid 'a gross overuse of military-level force', adding that the probe was 'nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits'.

In light of the serious allegations P Diddy is facing, Kesha felt it was right to change her song lyrics, and you can see what she came up with in the clip below:

Yep, Rapp and Kesha kicked off the track singing: "Wake up in the morning morning like 'f**k P Diddy.'"

And the not-so-subtle change left music fans 'shook to the core'.

"Kesha and Reneé Rapp performing TiK ToK together at Coachella and changing the lyrics to the song has me shook to the core right now," one person penned on X.

"KESHA JUST CHANGED THE LYRICS FOR TIK TOK TO “F**K P DIDDY” AT COACHELLA WITH RENEÉ RAPP OH MY GODD," wrote another.

A third fan said: "There's no way Kesha just sang TiK ToK at Coachella and changed the lyrics to F**k P Diddy in 2024 omg this Coachella is iconic."

Another person raved about the performance: "Couldn't sleep so I decided to watch Reneé at Coachella and I get to see her and Kesha changing the lyrics of TiK ToK to "F**k P Dippy"?!??

"This is so much better than being awake tomorrow I love this so much."

This isn't the first time Kesha has changed the lyrics to 'TiK ToK' either.

Late last year she performed the 2010 song and changed the opening lyrics to: "Wake up in the morning feeling just like me."

At the time of the change, P Diddy's ex-girlfriend of 10 years Cassie Ventura had accused the rapper of rape and physical abuse.

P Diddy vehemently denied the claims, with the pair settling the $30 million lawsuit just a day later.
