Kesha says she was 'dumped' for not bringing ex to a Taylor Swift party: 'He was in it for the wrong reasons'
Look what he made her do.
Taylor Swift’s music doesn’t just come in handy post-breakup — Kesha once used the pop star to incite the end of a bad relationship.
During an interview with Elle, the “Joyride” singer opened up about her first time getting dumped, and explained why she wasn’t too torn up about the breakup.
“I had a feeling that he was in it for the wrong reasons and was a bit of a starf---er,” Kesha said of her unnamed ex. “I decided to test that theory and took one of my friends instead of him to Taylor Swift’s party." But she didn't have to wait very long before her suspicions were confirmed: "He came over the next day and broke up with me.”

Kesha previously tweeted about the incident in March, after asking fans to share their worst relationship stories. When one follower dared her to go first, the “Joyride” singer replied, “I got dumped bc I didn’t take a guy to the Taylor Swift afterparty.”

In a comment, she added, “We were together for a year and a half.”
Four months before that tweet, Kesha told followers that she had just experienced her very first split as the person being broken up with. “I just got dumped for the first time… in my LIFE,” she announced on X. “Can you believe it? We’re all f-----.”
While Kesha did not name the Swiftie ex-boyfriend, she last year dated film producer Riccardo Maddalosso. More recently she was linked to health-tech entrepreneur Michael Gilvary in July.
For obvious reasons, Kesha didn’t speak too highly of her overall recent dating experiences, and compared her Los Angeles search for love to “digging through the garbage.” She went on to say that while she’s open to romance, she’s only interested in a partner who will treat her as well as she treats herself.
“I kept hearing people say, ‘I’m looking for The One.’ I kept waiting for somebody else to fill that space, and then I just stepped into it myself,” she explained. “You gotta be all those things to yourself—your own boyfriend, sugar daddy, rich husband, best friend, cheerleader. I started taking myself on vacations, buying myself six dozen roses, and taking myself for shopping sprees at Saint Laurent.”

This sentiment became the inspiration for her latest single, "Joyride," which dropped on Independence Day as a way to showcase her newfound freedom, after the public trauma of her near decade-long legal battle with Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald.
"Yes, I take myself on fucking really bougie dates, like really celebrating the fuck out of myself," she shared. "Then “Joyride” started being written in my mind. I was like, God, I am The One, though.”
She added, "I really think that my joy is such a feminist act of defiance," and said of the song, "It was me busting the door back down and saying, ‘No, no, it’s time to party again!’ We’re going to start with having fun, and then I’m going to try to dismantle all the shady shit.”
