Kesha’s list of manifestations for 2025 causes a twist

Pop icon Kesha she enters 2025 with bold intentions and isn’t afraid to let the world know she’s doing great things.

2024 was a monumental year for the pop icon. After nearly two decades of legal battles that cast a long shadow over her career, in March 2024 Kesha finally took full ownership of her voice and creative direction, a victory celebrated not only by her but by her loyal fans around the world .

In February 2024, Kesha took another major step forward by signing with Crush Music, a move that signaled a new beginning and a commitment to shaping their future on their own terms. But she did not stop there. In September, Kesha announced the launch of her own record label, Kesha Records, marking a strong statement of independence and creative control.

Under her new label, Kesha wasted no time in bringing fresh music to her fans with a track titled “Joyride,” a bold and assertive pop anthem that celebrates her hard-won freedom.

In a recent interview with “On the red carpet”, The 37-year-old “Die Young” singer talked about her hopes and wishes for the coming year.

“In 2025 I’m putting on a yacht and a yacht and I’d like to be on my daddy’s yacht in Italy as soon as possible, baby,” she said before sharing her take on New Year’s resolutions, admitting: “I’m more of a manifester.”

“I’m like a witch who goes into the woods, decides I’m going to manifest, and then spend a year doing Mr.,” Kesha said. “So I have the rulings, but like, a little more b-pure and a little more witchy.”

In October 2014, pop star Kesha filed a civil lawsuit in California against her longtime producer Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald), setting off one of the most high-profile legal battles in music history. The lawsuit alleges sexual assault and battery, sexual harassment, gender-based violence and emotional abuse during their ten-year professional relationship.

Kesha alleged that Dr. Luke drugged her, sexually assaulted her, and constantly emotionally manipulated her throughout their time together. At the center of her lawsuit was a request to release her from her contract with Kemosabe Records, Dr. Luke’s label under Sony Music Entertainment.

In response to Kesha’s allegations, Dr. Luke filed a countersuit in New York, alleging defamation and breach of contract. He claimed that Kesha’s allegations were fabricated in order to secure a more lucrative record deal and damage his reputation.

In 2016, a New York judge dealt a crushing blow to Kesha’s case, denying her request for a preliminary injunction. The decision meant she could not record music outside of her current contract with Dr. Luke and Sony Music Entertainment while the lawsuit unfolded.

The decision sparked public outrage and ignited the #FreeKesha movement, a viral social media campaign advocating for her freedom and justice. Fans and fellow artists, including Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Adele and Kelly Clarkson, have rallied behind Kesha, using their platforms to amplify her voice and demand change.

Despite the legal turmoil and Dr. Luke’s continued control over her contract, Kesha managed to release her album ‘Rainbow’ in 2017 on Kemosabe Records. The album was more than just music—it was a powerful declaration of resilience and healing. Tracks like “Praying” became anthems of survival, with raw lyrics about her struggles and the emotional toll of her fight for freedom.

The album was met with critical acclaim, receiving praise for its vulnerability, power and artistic depth. However, even in this moment of triumph, Dr. Luke remained financially tied to her success, earning a profit from every album sale and airplay as per the terms of her contract.

“I feel free for the first time since I was 18,” she said, trans Diversity. “I am so appreciative of every single person who has streamed Joyride and I love the videos that are being created. I spent almost 10 years in lawsuits and millions of dollars in court fees. This joy was a hard struggle for me, so I like that people are ready to “Joyride” with me.”
