Kesha joyfully embraced her newfound freedom during a vibrant performance at ABC’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, setting her sights on an even more exhilarating 2025. The pop icon treated audiences to her classic hit “Tik Tok” along with her latest single “Joyride,” encapsulating her daring spirit and desire for fun.
Ahead of her performance of “Joyride,” Kesha lightheartedly expressed her hopes for the coming year, quipping, “All I want for 2025 is a sugar daddy and a yacht… And now, we joyride, bitches!” Her playful energy was evident throughout the night as she reimagined the opening line of “Tik Tok” — a change she made earlier in 2023. This time, her rendition included a bleeped-out jab aimed at P Diddy, a line she has committed to for future performances.
As a nod to her ongoing evolution as an artist, Kesha reminded fans of her significant milestone appearances, dating back to her first performance on the show in 2010. With plans for a new album set to release in 2025, Kesha is poised to redefine her artistic identity under her own label, Kesha Records, which she established in September. She described her upcoming project as embodying the “bad bitch” persona, contrasting sharply with the emotionally reflective themes of her previous album, “Gag Order.”
Kesha showcased her versatility in 2024 with two singles—the summery anthem “Joyride” and the moody track “Delusional.” Additionally, her collaboration with Charli XCX on a remix of “Spring Breakers” highlighted her collaborative spirit.
This year also marked Kesha’s joyous debut as a “free woman” during her set at West Hollywood Pride, where she embraced the themes of liberation and self-empowerment. Her vibrant performances and positivity signal a bright future, with the singer poised to inspire fans with her artistic growth and fearless attitude.
In summary, Kesha is not just celebrating her past successes but is also eagerly looking forward to a 2025 filled with creativity and bold self-expression. Her wit and charm continue to resonate, proving that her journey is just beginning, and fans can expect even more exhilarating music and performances.
