(PERIOD) is out nowKesha revealed that she once tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while performing live on stage – and that she still finished the performance. Kesha, 38, spoke about the injury on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky on Tuesday, July 8. The singer, who released her new album . (PERIOD) on July 4, opened up about the pressure to perform through the painful injury earlier in her career. "It was hard for me. I remember I tore my ACL on stage. That was brutal, and in like song three or something. I was playing a festival in Dubai and I tore my ACL and I f------ got up and I played guitar and I sang and I finished the f------ show," the "Your Love Is My Drug" singer said. "Are you serious?" Lewinsky, 51, asked. Kesha responded, "Yes. 'Cause I'm a bad bitch," to which Lewinsky laughed. The singer then elaborated, "But I wake up the next day and I'm like, 'Wow, I am such a f------monster badass. And I wake up and there's an article on TMZ saying I was drunk at the show." "Wow," Lewinsky responded. Kesha then clarified, "Literally, Abso-f------lutely never have one drink before a show ever. Well, I did one time, the first time I played Lollapalooza in 2009. And after that, I literally did that one time and I was like 'Okay I'm never doing that again. I'm never drinking before a show.' " "So like things like that have hurt me and that people think that I don't know that [they] hurt my feelings," Kesha said. "I'm sorry for what you've had to go through," Lewinsky responded. Kesha then reflected on the harsh nature of the public eye that both she and Lewinsky experienced. Lewinksy was famously embroiled in an affair scandal with former President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s that led to intense cyberbullying in the early ages of the internet. This later inspired Lewinksy's mental health advocacy work. "And like would we both be sitting here had we not gone through those things? Probably not. And it has made us into the people that we are. And you seem like a f------- badass. I know I'm a f-------badass," Kesha said.

Kesha drops new single "Attention!" ahead of PERIOD album release
Kesha has released her latest single, "Attention!", featuring Slayyyter and Rose Gray, offering another glimpse into her forthcoming album, PERIOD (set to drop on July 4, 2025). This new track follows previously released singles like "Yippee-Ki-Yay" featuring T-Pain and "Boy Crazy," and it marks a continuation of Kesha's bold, sleaze-pop style. Although "Attention!" doesn't appear on the original tracklist for PERIOD, its presence in Kesha's campaign is marked by the signature pink period motif, suggesting it may be a bonus track. The song, produced by Pink Slip, pairs sleek house beats with a rowdy attitude and catchy lyrics. It's being described as a playful, rebellious anthem with a nod to the 2010s, featuring lyrics like, "T**s out riding with the windows down / They're playing me on the radio right now." The track has drawn comparisons to Charli XCX's "Guess" for its fun, energetic vibe. Kesha confidently asks, "Do I have your attention?" reminding listeners that she never lost it. Additionally, Kesha is gearing up to support her new album with the T**s Out Tour, set to kick off in North America on July 1, 2025. The tour will feature co-headliners Scissor Sisters, with support from Slayyyter and Rose Gray. Following the North American leg, the tour will head to the UK and Europe in spring 2026. Fans can expect Kesha's high-energy performances and bold new music on the road. Tickets for the North American dates are available now.

Since releasing the song last November, the hitmaker has updated its cover art with a new photo, which aligns with the bubblegum pink dot aesthetic for her upcoming album, PERIOD. 'When making the single art for my song 'Delusional,' I wanted to make the point that it's DELUSIONAL that the world expects artists to continue making art when we are so undervalued,' she wrote on Instagram alongside the new cover art lensed by Brendan Walter. She continued, 'I tried to echo my ideas in the form of a political single cover. I've realized that living in alignment with my integrity is more important than proving a point. So I've decided to change the cover art for this song. She's one of my favorites💕.' In the new single artwork, the 'BOY CRAZY.' singer is seen screaming as she's tied to a chair with black zip-ties. The original cover art featured a pile of fake Hermés Birkin bags piled on top of each other, and ost of them included the word 'Delusional' spray-painted with black paint. At the time, fans called Kesha out for utilizing AI to create her initial vision. 'The AI-generated nature of the artwork itself can be seen as a commentary on artificiality and the loss of authenticity. This aligns with the theme of delusion, where perceptions are often skewed and detached from reality. . . .also ai lol,' one fan wrote. Another added, 'I honestly adore you so much - your bravery, your artistry; I think you're incredible. But I'm pleeeeeeading with you to redo this cover. You know as well as anyone that artists need to be paid for their work. Please do not use AI 💖💖💖.'

Kesha Recalls Thinking 'TiK ToK' Was 'Too Dumb' to Release. Why 'Dumber' Was Ultimately 'Better' for the Hit Song
Kesha's "TiK ToK" probably isn't going to win a Pulitzer Prize anytime soon — but that's part of its charm. In a new interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the Grammy-nominated pop star opened up about making her 2009 debut single "TiK ToK" and initially thinking the song was "too dumb" to release. Hudson, 43, brought up the song and asked Kesha, 38, if she knew it'd become a hit. "No, oh my God," exclaimed the "Joyride" singer of "TiK ToK," which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since been certified 12-times platinum by the RIAA. "When I was writing 'TiK ToK,' it was weird, because the dumber it got, the better it got," explained Kesha. "Which was confusing, because I like to think of myself as a fairly intelligent human being. But it just got dumber and dumber and better and better." "When I listened to the final product," she added, "I was like, 'This is too dumb.' And it's like 1.5 billion streams at this point." is now available in the Apple App Store!

The songwriting process was quite different from how Kesha learned to craft lyrics from her mom, Pebe Sebert, who found success from composing the country song "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You," which Dolly Parton recorded and released in 1980. "My mom's a songwriter, and she taught me how to write songs since I was little. I would go to the studio with her and fall asleep in the guitar case," she recalled. "I would come home from school, and I'd be like, 'Mom, this boy was mean to me,' and she'd be like, 'Write a song about it.' It was, like, how we dealt with everything as a family." Whether she's writing "dumb" lyrics or drawing from real-life experiences, Kesha gets to make every music-related decision herself these days as the CEO of her own label, Kesha Records, through which her new album . (PERIOD) will be released on July 4. "This is the first album that I have legal rights to my own voice," said the "Yippee-Ki-Yay" artist, who was previously signed to RCA Records. "I'm really excited for the world to hear this because I've been in control of everything. I've written every song, co-produced everything. It's my own record label, it's been all of my vision, all of my words, a lot of hard work, a lot of joy." Kesha described the album as "really coming back home to myself and feeling what freedom really looks like, feels like, sounds like." "Boy Crazy," the next single from .
