Carpenter isn’t the only breakout star Kesha has publicly supported this year. On April 14, the pop singer made a surprise appearance during Reneé Rapp’s Coachella performance, where they performed an updated version of her 2010 smash hit ‘TiK ToK’.
Following the Coachella performance, Kesha posted a sweet backstage TikTok video soundtracked to a sped-up version of Rapp’s ‘Not My Fault’ single featuring Megan Thee Stallion. Rapp spoke to Teen Vogue about Kesha’s significant influence on her, saying, “She was my everything growing up.”
Kesha recently rejoined her fellow women in music with the release of her new single, “Joyride,” on July 4. This marks her first release since parting ways with RCA Records and Vector Management and settling her years-long legal battle with producer Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald in June 2023.
Ahead of the song’s arrival, the independent artist celebrated the occasion on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “i couldn’t have made it through without all of you. now we joyride.” Days later, Kesha expressed more gratitude for her new musical chapter in an Instagram post captioned, “7 years ago today. As I race like a madman into this iconic chapter of my life, I can’t help but appreciate how hard this joy has been fought for. thank you to all the animals who had my back then💕 i love u praying.” Kesha’s support for her fellow artists and her triumphant return to music underscore her commitment to celebrating and uplifting women in the industry.
