Both Gray are Slayyyter are set to be openers for Kesha's upcoming Tits Out Tour with Scissor Sisters, which kicks off in July, shortly after Kesha drops her upcoming albm. '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,' Kesha said as she announced the run. '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.' The new track follows the release of the NSFW video for 'Boy Crazy,' which Kesha dropped earlier this week. She's set to share her album Period, stylized as the punctuation mark (.), on July 4.

Jordan as a pair of twins who return to their hometown to open a juke joint in 1930s Mississippi. Vampires, and other dark forces, intrude on their plans. In her review, AP's Jocelyn Noveck wrote: 'How Coogler pulls everything off at once — and makes it cohere, mostly — is a sight to see.' – The wait has been long for 'The Old Guard 2' (Netflix, Wednesday), a sequel to Gina Prince-Bythewood's 2020 streaming hit starring Charlize Theron as a member of a team of centuries-old mercenaries.

Kesha's New Single Shoots Straight To No. 1 Before Her Album Drops
Kesha's new single 'The One' debuts at No. 1 on iTunes Top Songs ahead of her upcoming album Period, ... More which is coming on July 4. AUSTIN, TEXAS - MARCH 11: Kesha speaks on stage during the "Fighting Loneliness In Our Digital World" panel discussion at the 2025 SXSW Conference and Festival at Austin Convention Center on March 11, 2025 in Austin, Texas. (Photo by Mat Hayward/WireImage) WireImage In just one week, Kesha will return with her new album, Period . The full-length is officially titled simply with the punctuation symbol, but it will commonly be referred to by the word Period . The pop and dance superstar has been promoting singles from the collection for almost a year now, and her legion of fans, known as Animals, are excited for the singer's sixth full-length. Just ahead of Period arriving in full, the latest single from the effort has become the breakout hit of this new music Friday. On June 27, Kesha released "The One," her brand new single. The tune serves as the fifth official promotional cut from Period , and Kesha may have struck the right nerve with this one. As of the time of writing, "The One" sits at No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs chart. The Grammy-nominated pop musician has earned the top-selling track in America during what is often considered the busiest day of the week, as Fridays are when most musicians share new compositions and albums. Kesha outpaced several other superstars who delivered new work this Friday. The top 10 on the iTunes Top Songs ranking includes just-dropped tracks by Lord Huron ("Bag of Bones," No. 2), Old Dominion ("Man or the Song," No. 5), and Alex Warren and Blackpink singer Rosé ("On My Mind," No. 9), among others. Kesha's Year-Long Promotional Period So far, none of the singles released from Period have become huge commercial successes — the kind that initially launched Kesha to the top of the charts more than a decade ago. She kicked off the campaign with "Joyride" on July 4, 2024, and that track did reach the uppermost tiers on a handful of Billboard's Dance and Electronic rankings. Since then, she has shared follow-up cuts "Delusional,' "Yippee-Ki-Yay" with T-Pain and "Boy Crazy."
