Who needs closure when you can turn failed engagements into fashion?
Pop star Kesha has emerged from the shadows wrapped in something shinier than your average comeback: a chainmail-style top made entirely from engagement rings.
Yes, actual rings from the ghosts of boyfriends past.
The moment unfolded on "The Drew Barrymore Show", where Kesha, 38, served up spiritual sass, heartbreak couture, and some wickedly funny reflections on love and life. And yes, Barrymore was holding her hand awkwardly like she does with all her guests.
But before we giggle too hard, let's not forget Kesha's been through it. Her years-long legal battle with former producer Dr. Luke made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The trauma, the courtrooms, and the scrutiny were a lot.
And yet, here she is, turning romantic failure and emotional baggage into wearable armour. If anyone has earned the right to repurpose ex-fiancé bling into protective gear, it's her.
'It's made of engagement rings of all the men who tried,' she casually explained as Barrymore leaned over to adjust her mic.
"I'm manifesting a sugar daddy and a yacht," she quipped, saying she's always been a bit "witchy". "I would like at least 40 husbands," she jokingly added, gesturing toward the sparkly rings on her shirt.
Currently 'very single', Kesha's not on the hunt for the one. She's after frequent flyer miles and sugar daddies with yachts.
'They get to be in my presence,' she quipped when asked what she'd offer in return.
And in case any exes were hoping for a reunion tour, Kesha dashed those dreams quickly.
'I want to collect all of my exes and put them on a continent far, far, far away,' she said. 'And kind of pretend the whole thing never happened.'
Though she has occasionally been spotted with men, including rumoured flings, she hasn't been linked to any one person long-term. Much of her dating history in the limelight remains a mystery, partly due to her desire to keep her personal life under wraps after her turbulent legal battles.
The following day, Kesha also made an appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show", where the "Spotlight" singer started the segment off by noting how 'nice' it was to meet Kesha after hearing 'that we almost crossed paths one time.'
'I was an extra on 'Dreamgirls',' Kesha admitted, which stunned Hudson. "I sat there with my hair teased to the Gods," she added. 'No offence, I hated it,' she said. 'Y'all were amazing. [I was] just an extra in a scene."

Celebrity love: Eddie Murphy's son and Martin Lawrence's daughter say 'I do' away from the spotlight
Jasmin Page Lawrence and Eric Murphy tied the knot two weeks ago in a private ceremony. Image: Instagram Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence's children said "I Do" without their parents present at the wedding. Murphy appeared on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" and confirmed that his son, Eric Murphy and Martin Lawrence's daughter, Jasmin Page Lawrence, tied the knot in a private ceremony. Hudson asked him if he was going to sing at his son's wedding and that's when he revealed the news. "Actually they got married like two weeks ago, they went off. Everybody was making big wedding plans and they decided they want to do something quiet with just the two of them and they got married," he revealed. The host interjected, adding that the Murphy's and Lawrence's are now in-laws. Murphy jokingly added: "We are now in-laws. He (Martin Lawrence) doesn't have to pay for the big wedding now." The comedian also shared that it was only the newlyweds as well as the preacher that officiated the marriage. Eric and Jasmin went public with their relationship in 2021 and after dating for more than three years, Eric proposed to Jasmin in November 2024. The couple shared their joyful announcement in a heartwarming video posted on Instagram. "We're engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn't be more excited for this next chapter. Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so beautiful," they captioned the joint post. In an interview with "InTouch Weekly" in 2022, a year after they publicised their relationship Jasmin shared how she and Eric met. She revealed, "My uncle actually introduced us, it wasn't even our dads. And they've done two movies together. They're friends. I don't even know, it's crazy, but we met through my uncle and, you know, we became really good friends.
