Kesha - The Simple Life

This one is kind of a shocker! Kesha was featured in one episode of The Simple Life with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. This was way before she became the iconic singer that she is today. She's been off the grid for the past few years due to a legal battle with a certain producer, but she's slowly working towards making a comeback! 

In the episode, Paris and Nicole help Kesha's mom find a date. No one really knows if it's real or not, but the episode was funny nonetheless. Soon after, she was thrust into superstardom with her party-pop music.

Fans knew her for always speaking her mind, standing up for herself, and stirring the pot just a little bit!
