Kesha let it all hang out on a recent podcast—and the revelations were nothing short of jaw-dropping. The 39-year-old pop star, who has guarded her romantic life since exploding onto the scene with "Tik Tok" in 2009, suddenly stripped away every layer of privacy.
Sitting down with the *Call Her Daddy* crew, she called reclaiming her sexuality a "miracle." Then came the kicker: Kesha confessed she masturbates to gratitude meditations. When the host accused her of lying, she shot back: "Don't knock it till you try it."
After years of feeling trapped by recording contracts, she said she's furious about the lost time—and now she's chasing pleasure like never before. "When you go through trauma, pleasure isn't your brain's go-to pathway," she explained. "I had to reprogram that, and I do it every single day. I'm not even embarrassed about it."
Gratitude meditation, the practice of reflecting on what you're thankful for through guided sessions and breathwork, suddenly got a whole lot steamier.
But that wasn't her only shocker. Kesha declared she's now "mostly celibate"—with one fiery exception: "Except for when you're in Italy." The internet erupted. Fans called it "the most relatable lifestyle goal ever" and "the most unhinged geographical clause" they'd ever heard. Others simply cheered: "We've all been there, queen."
She didn't stop there. Kesha revealed her libido is also busy manifesting "her king." And she reflected on past relationships with brutal honesty, describing one ex as "smelling kind of like a Subway sandwich that had been sitting in the back of your car for a couple of days."
Open about her fluid sexuality, she once told a magazine she's attracted to the soul behind a person's eyes, not their gender. Later she clarified: "I'm not gay. I'm not straight. I don't know what I am. I love people. I refuse to be anything except open to it all."
Dating in Los Angeles? She called it "digging through the garbage." One guy dumped her the morning after she didn't bring him to a Taylor Swift party—proof, she said, that he was in it for the wrong reasons.
So what's Kesha's solution? She decided to become "The One" for herself. "I kept waiting for somebody else to fill that space, and then I just stepped into it myself," she said. "You gotta be your own boyfriend, sugar daddy, rich husband, best friend, cheerleader. I started taking myself on vacations, buying myself six dozen roses, and going on shopping sprees at Saint Laurent. Yes, I take myself on really bougie dates. I am The One."
