Kesha Celebrates 15 Years of ‘TiK ToK’ by Brushing Her Teeth With Jack Daniel’s
The pop star recently marked the 15-year milestone of her iconic debut single ‘TiK ToK’ with a creative nod to the song’s lyrics. In a playful TikTok video, she showcased her unique celebration by brushing her teeth with Jack Daniel’s whiskey, a clear reference to the track’s memorable lyric: ‘Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack’.
The video opens with the pop star entering the bathroom holding a Spotify plaque celebrating 1 billion streams of her hit single ‘Timber’.
