Who needs closure when you can turn failed engagements into fashion?
Pop star Kesha has emerged from the shadows wrapped in something shinier than your average comeback: a chainmail-style top made entirely from engagement rings.
Yes, actual rings from the ghosts of boyfriends past.
The moment unfolded on "The Drew Barrymore Show", where Kesha, 38, served up spiritual sass, heartbreak couture, and some wickedly funny reflections on love and life. And yes, Barrymore was holding her hand awkwardly like she does with all her guests.
But before we giggle too hard, let's not forget Kesha's been through it. Her years-long legal battle with former producer Dr. Luke made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The trauma, the courtrooms, and the scrutiny were a lot.
And yet, here she is, turning romantic failure and emotional baggage into wearable armour. If anyone has earned the right to repurpose ex-fiancé bling into protective gear, it's her.
'It's made of engagement rings of all the men who tried,' she casually explained as Barrymore leaned over to adjust her mic.
"I'm manifesting a sugar daddy and a yacht," she quipped, saying she's always been a bit "witchy". "I would like at least 40 husbands," she jokingly added, gesturing toward the sparkly rings on her shirt.
Currently 'very single', Kesha's not on the hunt for the one. She's after frequent flyer miles and sugar daddies with yachts.
'They get to be in my presence,' she quipped when asked what she'd offer in return.
And in case any exes were hoping for a reunion tour, Kesha dashed those dreams quickly.
'I want to collect all of my exes and put them on a continent far, far, far away,' she said. 'And kind of pretend the whole thing never happened.'
Though she has occasionally been spotted with men, including rumoured flings, she hasn't been linked to any one person long-term. Much of her dating history in the limelight remains a mystery, partly due to her desire to keep her personal life under wraps after her turbulent legal battles.
The following day, Kesha also made an appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show", where the "Spotlight" singer started the segment off by noting how 'nice' it was to meet Kesha after hearing 'that we almost crossed paths one time.'
'I was an extra on 'Dreamgirls',' Kesha admitted, which stunned Hudson. "I sat there with my hair teased to the Gods," she added. 'No offence, I hated it,' she said. 'Y'all were amazing. [I was] just an extra in a scene."
