VIDEO: Kesha Performs "Die Young" at 40th AMAs

VIBE cover girl Kesha performed "Die Young," the lead single off her second LP Warrior, at the 40th American Music Awards on Sunday. Introduced by Cyndi Lauper, the diiirty girl, who cleaned up for the red carpet in a lace dress, channeled a warrior princess in gold garb and a black veil. "I hear your heartbeat to the beat of the drums," sang Kesha as her skeletal tribe simultaneously banged drums before her.
