(PERIOD), following such recent releases as “ATTENTION!” – featuring pop disruptor Slayyyter and rising UK artist Rose Gray, both of whom will be accompanying Kesha as special guests on her upcoming North American tour, set to begin next Tuesday, July 1, at West Valley City, UT’s Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre. Declared by Rolling Stone to be “a teaser for the high energy expected on the Tits Out Tour where both rising stars will open for Kesha,” “ATTENTION!” is joined by an official lyric video streaming now at YouTube.
Last week also saw the acclaimed premiere of the official music video for “BOY CRAZY.,” which quickly racked up close to 1.5M views in its first week at YouTube. Directed by Kesha, Brett Loudermilk & Zain Curtis, the NSFW visual was met by widespread media attention from the likes of Rolling Stone, Stereogum, Billboard, and People, the latter of which wrote, “Kesha is getting raunchy…The clip (for “BOY CRAZY.”) finds her in the midst of a filthy party reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper painting… As the chorus comes in, the men (wearing a wide range of clothing, some in nearly nothing) all dance around the GRAMMY®-nominated artist and begin to cause a sexually-charged ruckus at the table.”
The biggest live run of Kesha’s already extraordinary career, The Tits Out Tour kicks off next week and then hits arenas and amphitheaters across the continent through an August 10 finale at Tampa, FL’s MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre. Produced by Live Nation and presented by Feeld, the milestone North American headline tour includes Kesha’s first-ever headline shows at such world-famous venues as Los Angeles, CA’s Kia Forum (July 5) and New York City’s Madison Square Garden (July 23), both of which are now fully sold out. Support on all dates comes from newly reunited glam-pop legends Scissor Sisters, marking their first North American tour in over a decade. Special guests on select dates also include pop disruptor Slayyyter (July 1-July 18), rising UK artist Rose Gray (July 19-21, July 24-August 10), and venerable Dutch Eurodance favorites Vengaboys (July 23). The Tits Out Tour will then cross the Atlantic for Kesha’s first headline run in the UK and Europe in over a decade, beginning March 4, 2026 at Berlin, Germany’s sold-out Uber Eats Music Hall and traveling though a March 31 finale at Dublin, Ireland’s 3Arena.

As if all this weren’t enough, Kesha is currently seeing a viral renaissance for her classic 2010 single, “Your Love Is My Drug,” with millions of TikTok videos created and over one billion views in the past month, more than 15 years after its original release. The 5x RIAA Platinum certified track – which marked the third single from Kesha’s landmark debut album, Animal – is now lighting up streaming services with close to 1M plays each day and placement on a wide variety of popular playlists. What’s more, both “Your Love Is My Drug” and Kesha’s 12x Platinum, #1 worldwide breakthrough smash, “TiK ToK” are ascending Spotify’s “Top Songs USA” chart, catapulting Kesha to a new peak on Spotify’s “Top Artists USA” ranking with over 46M monthly listeners and climbing.
Kesha’s sixth studio album, . (PERIOD) – yes, it's just a period. – is an unapologetic, unfiltered declaration of artistic freedom and fearless authenticity from the 2x GRAMMY® Award-nominated pop icon. Conceived, co-produced and co-written by Kesha, the 11-song collection – which arrives exactly one year since Kesha returned on her own terms with 2024’s smash comeback hit, “JOYRIDE” – transcends pop norms to create a raw, daring, and intensely personal sonic journey, a defiant act of self-expression that refuses to adhere to expectations or play it safe. More than just a new album, . (PERIOD) is Kesha at her most powerful best, turning her experiences into vibrant, audacious art with a spiked heel at the neck of pop culture.
. (PERIOD) was first unveiled this past March with the premiere of the thrilling “YIPPIE KI-YAY (Feat. T-Pain),” available now at all DSPs and streaming services. Produced by Pink Slip (Ava Max, Jason Derulo) and co-written by Kesha and frequent collaborator Zhone (who previously produced and co-wrote last year’s smash singles “JOYRIDE” and “DELUSIONAL”), the country-flavored party anthem is joined by a special remix package featuring an exclusive new spin by hit producer A.G. Cook (Charli xcx, Lady Gaga) and the “Hosed Down Remix,” available everywhere now. Official visualizers for all three tracks are streaming now on Kesha’s official YouTube channel. Kesha further celebrated “YIPPIE-KI-YAY” with a recent pair of unforgettable performances, first teaming with A.G. Cook for a live take on the new remix at Coachella and then returning to the Indio, CA site for a once-in-a-lifetime joint rendition alongside T-Pain at Stagecoach.
Among its many other exhilarating highlights, . (PERIOD) includes 2024’s aforementioned “JOYRIDE” and the blockbuster “DELUSIONAL,” both available everywhere now. Currently boasting over 103M streams at Spotify alone, “JOYRIDE” proved a true sensation since its Independence Day 2024 release, reaching #6 on Billboard’s “Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles” and “Hot Dance/Electronic Songs” along with the top 30 on “Pop Airplay” and chart success around the world from the UK to New Zealand. Produced by Zhone and co-written by Kesha, Zhone, and Madison Love, the track marked the triumphant first chapter of a milestone new era for Kesha, celebrating both her long overdue empowerment as an independent artist as well as a powerful sonic evolution following 2023’s critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Gag Order. Along with its popular achievement, “JOYRIDE” has been met by high-profile critical applause from the likes of Rolling Stone, Variety, and Vulture, to name only a few. Perhaps NYLON said it best: “Everything about ‘JOYRIDE’ is a trip…The original glitter-faced party animal of the 2010s is back with a fiery vengeance.”
“JOYRIDE” joined by an equally acclaimed official music video streaming now at YouTube. Directed by Dimitri Basil (Kylie Minogue, Vance Joy), Cooper Roussel (Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Miami Horror), and Laura Gorun (Joywave, Kings of Leon), the high-octane visual received wide-ranging attention from major publications and top online outlets around the globe, including Billboard, Vulture, and Rolling Stone, the latter of which raved, ““Kesha is taking her foot off the brakes and going full-speed ahead on her new video for ‘JOYRIDE.’ The video sees Kesha racing through the desert in a hot red convertible while being chased by a helicopter, gun-toting assassins, and a shirtless dude hell-bent on catching up to the pop diva.”
