Music superstar Kesha sat down for a revealing chat in which she shared quite a bit of information her fans didn’t expect to hear, including that she collects teeth, had a breakup involving Taylor Swift, and wears her own placenta around her neck.

On May 6, the “Die Young” songstress appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast and shared all the bizarre details with host Alex Cooper.

Kesha said that the whole teeth-collecting thing started several years ago when she asked fans to send her their teeth, which many had no problem doing, as she received thousands.

“I make art [from the teeth]. I make jewelry,” the “TikTok” artist explained. “I’ve made a crown, like a headdress. I’ve gotten crazy ones, and I live for it. I’m currently trying to like design a coffee table, and the center I want to just be a bowl of all the teeth. So, for real, if people want to send it to me, this is actually like art I make out of it. I live for it.”

Something else Kesha talked about that even surprised Cooper involved another part of the human body.

“Oh, that’s my placenta,” Kesha said about her necklace.

“Wait, what?” Cooper asked.

“So your placenta supposedly gives you second sight, helps open your third eye,” the “Timber” hitmaker told the host. “This is according to my mother. She had to fight for my placenta. My mom, they tried to take my placenta away from her at the hospital, and she fought for that. So now I carry it around.

“[Mom] put it in the oven, wrapped it up in a box, stuck it in the basement. We found it… Throw it in the blender, pop it in a necklace: work of art.”

Kesha continued, “I love a good ritual. Right? Like, I’m a cult leader … And I just, I love a ritual that reminds me of this, like, esoteric world I prefer to live in. Like down here on Earth, boring. But like, when I go up into… like, with my spirit guides and the whole realm of angels. Like, that’s where I prefer to be. It’s kind of fun … It just reminds me I have a little piece of the people I love.” 

As for getting broken up with over something that had to do with Taylor Swift, Kesha discussed a situation in which an ex dumped her because she didn’t bring him to an Era Tour afterparty.

“I’ve only gotten dumped actually, one time, and it’s because the guy was dating — I kind of like thought he was probably a star f*****,” she said. “I went to the Eras, like after the tour, there’s a little party. And I was just like, I’m gonna pop in, take my girlfriend. I’m not gonna take the boyfriend. Just see how this goes.

“We were together for a year and a half. That dude came over the next day, dropped the keys off, and that was it. I was like, ‘Have you no shame?’ I mean, if you’re gonna do it over anybody … Taylor [makes sense].”
