LISTEN TO “BOY CRAZY.”
. (PERIOD) arrives exactly one year after Kesha made her triumphant return on her own terms with 2024’s breakout hit “JOYRIDE.” The album’s first preview came with the release of the high-octane “YIPPEE KI-YAY. (Feat. T-Pain),” available now on all streaming platforms. Produced by Pink Slip (Ava Max, Jason Derulo) and co-written with longtime collaborator Zhone—who also co-wrote and produced “JOYRIDE” and “DELUSIONAL”—the country-inspired party anthem has already sparked major buzz.
Last week, “YIPPEE KI-YAY.” got a fresh twist with a remix bundle featuring a reimagined version from acclaimed producer A. G. Cook (Charli XCX, Lady Gaga), alongside the playful “Hosed Down Remix.” All versions are out now, with official visualizers for each track streaming on Kesha’s YouTube channel [HERE].

Kesha recently brought the heat with two unforgettable live performances of “YIPPEE KI-YAY.” — first teaming up with A. G. Cook for a dynamic remix performance at Coachella, followed by a show-stopping duet with T-Pain at Stagecoach, turning the Indio desert into her own glitter-drenched playground.
These electrifying appearances have only amplified anticipation for “The Tits Out Tour” — Kesha’s biggest headlining tour to date. Produced by Live Nation and presented by Feeld, the landmark North American run kicks off July 1 at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City, UT, and continues through August 10, wrapping at Tampa’s MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre.
The tour marks a major milestone for Kesha, with first-ever headline shows at iconic venues like Los Angeles’ Kia Forum (July 5) and New York City’s Madison Square Garden (July 23). Joining her on the road are newly reunited glam-pop trailblazers Scissor Sisters, making their first North American tour appearance in over a decade. Additional support includes pop disruptor Slayyyter (July 1–18), U.K. rising star Rose Gray (July 19–21, July 24–Aug 10), and Dutch Eurodance legends Vengaboys (July 23). Tickets are available now at keshaofficial.com, with full tour details at keshaofficial.com/tour.
Arriving July 4 via Kesha Records, Kesha’s sixth studio album, . (PERIOD), is more than a title — it’s a statement. Entirely conceived, co-produced, and co-written by Kesha herself, the 11-track album is a fierce, unfiltered declaration of artistic freedom. Daring, deeply personal, and sonically fearless, . (PERIOD) smashes pop conventions and signals the dawn of a thrilling new era for one of music’s most dynamic voices.
Among the album’s many standout moments are the previously released singles “JOYRIDE.” and “DELUSIONAL.” — both available everywhere now. “JOYRIDE.” has amassed over 103 million streams on Spotify alone since its explosive release on Independence Day 2024. The single climbed to No. 6 on Billboard’s “Bubbling Under Hot 100” and “Hot Dance/Electronic Songs,” while breaking into the top 30 on “Pop Airplay.” It also earned international chart success across the U.K., New Zealand, and beyond.
Produced by longtime collaborator Zhone and co-written with Zhone and Madison Love, “JOYRIDE.” marked a bold reintroduction to Kesha’s sound — a celebration of self-liberation and independence following 2023’s critically acclaimed Gag Order. The track earned glowing praise from Rolling Stone, Variety, Vulture, and more, with NYLON declaring: “Everything about ‘JOYRIDE’ is a trip… The original glitter-faced party animal of the 2010s is back with a fiery vengeance.”
The high-octane “JOYRIDE.” music video — directed by Dimitri Basil, Cooper Roussel, and Laura Gorun — is now streaming on YouTube. Packed with desert chases, helicopters, and cinematic chaos, it’s a visual thrill ride that Billboard, Vulture, and Rolling Stone couldn’t get enough of. As Rolling Stone put it: “Kesha is taking her foot off the brakes and going full-speed ahead.”

ABOUT KESHA:
Kesha is a pop powerhouse whose impact spans music, culture, and advocacy. With 10 Top 10 singles, over 3 billion global streams, two No. 1 albums, four No. 1 hits on Top 40 radio, and nearly 40 million social media followers, she has solidified her place as one of pop’s most influential voices. A two-time GRAMMY® nominee, Kesha has earned praise from both fans and critics alike for her bold, genre-defying sound and empowering message.
Beyond music, Kesha has built a vibrant career with ventures that include a hit TV show, an award-winning documentary, a bestselling book, a fan-favorite cruise, and a beauty line—each showcasing her creativity, wit, and charisma. She’s also been a tireless advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and animal welfare since the beginning of her career.
Her 2023 album, Gag Order, marked a triumphant return after a three-year hiatus, earning widespread acclaim and landing on year-end “Best Of” lists from Rolling Stone, PopMatters, The Independent, Slant, The Sunday Times, and more. The Arts Desk even named it their “Album of the Year.”
Kesha’s 2024 was one of the most defining years of her storied career. From her feature on the remix of Charli XCX’s “Spring Breakers” (part of the acclaimed Brat and It’s Completely Different but Also Still Brat) to her GLAMOUR Germany cover and “Music Icon” honor at the 2024 Women of the Year Awards, she remained a dominant cultural force.
She began the year as the Artist in Residence at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, teaching “The Alchemy of Pop,” and gave a major TED Talk at the TED2024 conference in Vancouver. Festival stages lit up around the world with her unforgettable performances at OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride, Wawa Welcome America Festival, Lollapalooza, and Mexico City’s Festival HERA HSBC. She also made surprise appearances at Brooklyn’s sold-out Planet Pride and Coachella, where she joined Reneé Rapp for a raucous duet of her eight-time RIAA Platinum global smash “TiK ToK”—updated with a very pointed lyric aimed at “P Diddy.”
“She’s the hottest person on Earth,” Rapp told the crowd. “Everybody put your f–king hands together for Kesha.”
Kesha capped off the year with holiday performances for iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball shows in Boston and Washington, D.C., proving once again that she’s a fearless, unfiltered, and unstoppable force in pop music.
