Kesha recalls 'terrifying' rise to stardom
Kesha found her sudden rise to stardom to be "terrifying". The 38-year-old pop star enjoyed her first major success in 2009, when she featured on Flo Rida's hit single Right Round, and Kesha has now admitted that she struggled to adjust to her new reality. The singer told People: "I went from being someone that sleeps in a sleeping bag at a punk house half of her life — everyone called it the Drunk Tank — and then a year and a half later I'm opening for Rihanna. "It was terrifying, but it was so fun." Kesha's family didn't have much money during her younger years, but she always found inspiration and hope in music. The pop star - whose new album is called Period - said: "When I was little, we were on food stamps. I remember thinking, 'What makes people really happy when they're having a hard time? Happy songs do that.'" Kesha has actually relied on music to help her through some of the dark times in her own life. And the singer is conscious that she now has the chance to uplift people who are going through similarly difficult times. She explained: "The interesting thing about being an artist is you can be the person going through hell and also the person that walks into the studio, like, 'I'm going to make sure you get through this. We're going to write a banger because it brings us joy.' It's almost like I'm picking myself up out of the sad moments I'm in. "I feel like it's my responsibility as an artist and a songwriter to just be honest about my human experience." Kesha has already been through lots of ups and downs in her career. However, the pop star no longer pays attention to her critics. The Blah Blah Blah hitmaker said: "I honestly don't care what people think about me. "I have nothing left to prove. I've already heard any horrible thing someone could hear about themselves: 'You're too fat, you're too old, you suck.' I'm immune to it, sadly. But maybe it's my superpower, because that is freedom. I'm just going to be myself. So party on, haters."

See all the celebs who were horsing around at this equestrian event in Miami Beach
Sting is a tough act to follow, but one rap legend gave it his best shot Saturday night in Miami Beach. That would be Flo Rida, who closed out the Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami Beach with a blowout concert. The tour is an event that showcases purebred Arabian horses and gives awards to the best horses and best handlers. The event, hosted by Quatar Airways, is obviously some next-level, one-percent kind of fun, and this year was its debut in Miami. But it appears the international elite like to 'get low.' The Miami Gardens hip-hopper sang hit after hit on an elevated stage as dancers jumped around in sync on the sand. Flo's set included such classics as 'Club Can't Handle Me,' 'Wild Ones,' 'Right Round,' and, of course, 'Low.' At the end of the dazzling fireworks show, amid laser beams shooting into the sky, DJ Khaled popped up for a surprise performance of 'All I Do is Win.' Among the bold-faced names in the audience: 'Real Housewives of New York' alum Bethenny Frankel, 'Entourage' star Jeremy Piven, Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova, TV personality Terrance J and Miami mayor Frances Suarez, who was seen chatting with FIFA president Gianni Infantino. . Flo was later seen on someone's shoulders being led out into the audience, where he thanked his fans, grabbed their hands and posed for pics. The chichi shindig, which welcomed over 100 elite horses and handlers from across the globe to compete, kicked off Thursday night with an iconic set by music legend Sting. In the crowd that night: Jeff Bezos and his father Miguel Bezos, who were reportedly having a blast (no pun intended). At one point, the men began singing along with the rocker, who belted out such classics as 'Every Little Thing She Does is Magic,' 'Roxanne' and 'Message in a Bottle.' 'Jeff and his dad were adorable,' an onlooker told Overall, the sold-out extravaganza (in which general admission tickets were snagged via lottery) was a success, and the venue, with the Atlantic Ocean as the backdrop, did not disappoint. 'The Miami Beach stage exceeded all expectations,' said Faleh Al Nasr, the tour's chair. 'We've brought the passion and artistry of Arabian horses to a global audience here, in a city that embraces culture, elegance, and excellence.' For a full list of winners, visit
