With those in fashion power bringing back bootcut jeans, skull prints, sequin waistcoats and slogan tees, 2025 is the time to be singing ‘blah blah blah’ to all of the Gen Zers who tried to make us wear workout shorts to work.

Thanks to the noughties legend that is Kesha (she’s no longer spelling her name with the dollar sign FYI) returning with a US tour, TITS OUT, the world is heading back to the 2000s – the decade that introduced us the likes of Britney, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Pink, and of course, Kesha. 

And the noughties OG, 38, isn’t stopping at flashing her breasts, also announcing that, at a time when the US is facing an uncertain time in the hands of President Donald Trump, she’s promoting more love, and more sex for all – safely of course. 
Announcing the tour earlier this month, Kesha boldly declared to Cosmopolitan Magazine, ‘The most political thing we can do right now is love. Love ourselves and love each other.

‘Americans need to have more safe, consensual sex. Our administration is so disembodied and disconnected.

‘I’m going TITS OUT this summer to bring as much safety, fun, acceptance, love, connection, and celebration to this country because we are just as much the fabric of this FREE nation as anyone else. 

‘We will not be quiet, and we will fight through joy! I think it’s time to make LOVE, not content. LOVE, not anger. LOVE, not hatred, and LOVE, not war.’

And who better to get your tits out with than the Scissor Scissors? Kesha will be ‘having a kiki’ with the band and will also be joined by Slayyyter and Rose Gray, who Vogue have called the ‘next big British pop star’. Rose is also a fan of white tank tops, leather crop tops and fishnets, so the aesthetics of this tour are set to be oh-so-fierce. 

And her comeback couldn’t have come at a poignant time for the star, whose bright career took a huge personal setback early on after she claims her former manager, Lukasz Gottwald, more widely known as Dr. Luke, raped her. 

While she didn’t file her explosive lawsuit against Dr. Luke until 2014, courts later heard Kesha make claims that he had drugged her with the GBH pill, which he allegedly called ‘a sober pill’ and raped her in his hotel room following her friend Nicky Hilton’s birthday party in 2005 – a year after he first signed her to his label, aged 18. 

Her mother, Pebe, a songwriter, claimed Kesha had called her the following morning, telling her, ‘Mom, I don’t know where I am. I think we had sex. I’m sore and sick. I don’t know where my clothes are. I think I need to go to the hospital.’ 

However, her mum recalled how Kesha hadn’t wanted to report the alleged rape in fear of it affecting her music career, claiming, ‘[She told me] ‘I just want to sing. I don’t want to be a rape-case victim.’ 

What ensued was an almost decade-long legal battle after Dr. Luke counter-sued Kesha for defamation, with a string of legal suits following. 

Kesha’s case against Dr. Luke was filed three years before the hashtag #MeToo sparked monumental social change in 2017. While the phrase was initially used in response to reports about the magnitude of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein’s silenced sexual abuse victims, it became a widespread movement to empower victims of abuse. 

However, the previous year, in 2016, several famous faces had already stepped forward in their support of Kesha. Taylor Swift donated $250,000 to Kesha’s legal costs, while Lady Gaga agreed to testify against Dr. Luke in court, revealing a text exchange between the two singers in which they had discussed Kesha’s alleged abuse. 

Kelly Clarkson and Pink also stepped forward, both saying that he is ‘not a good guy’ and refusing to ever work with him again. 

In 2023, the case was finally settled out of court, with both parties making a statement. 

While Dr. Luke said he is ‘absolutely certain that nothing happened’ but wanted to ‘clear his name’ for the sake of his family, Kesha told fans, ‘I am looking forward to closing the door on this chapter of my life and beginning a new one.’ 

She also tweeted, ‘I am humbled and in awe of the support and love y’all have given me. You have held me and carried me through the past 9 years. I am so full of light and excitement for the beautiful things to come, for shows to play, and art to make to share with you all.’

And re-launching herself in spectacular style last year, Kesha announced that she had launched her own record label, Kesha Records. 

She said at the time, ‘My name has become synonymous with transparency, integrity, and safety, and I want to ensure that these values are upheld for myself and any future artists signed to my label.’ 

A new album is also on the way, with Kesha said to be hoping to change the first lyric of her famous hit ‘Tik Tok’ from ‘Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy’ to ‘f**k P. Diddy’. 

And it’s definitely set to be a summer of love for Kesha, who recently revealed that she is back on dating apps after being dumped ‘for the first time in my life’. 
Revealing how she suspected her ex boyfriend had been a bit of a ‘star f***er’ – someone who likes to date celebrities – the singer said she decided to take a friend to Taylor Swift’s party instead to test out her theory.

‘He came over the next day and broke up with me,’ she admitted. 

But, with her hot girl era set to return this summer, Kesha has said she refuses to settle, adding, ‘I’m only going to enter into a partnership again if someone treats me as well as I treat myself. 

‘I kept hearing people say, ‘I’m looking for The One.’ I kept waiting for somebody else to fill that space, and then I just stepped into it myself.’ Yaass.
