Kesha Outruns a Gang of Murderous Assassins in Action-Packed ‘Joyride’ Video: Watch

Kesha outruns a group of colorfully named assassins in the action-packed road warrior video for her single 'Joyride'; watch it here.

Kesha is on the run from a gang of really bad seeds in the action-packed video for her single “Joyride.” In the visual that dropped on Wednesday (Nov. 20), the singer makes a seemingly cheeky reference to her split with former producer/label boss Dr. Luke, with a voiceover saying that she is “set to be released after nine years of wrongful imprisonment” thanks to new evidence overturning her conviction. Forget all that, though, because the high-octane clip co-directed by the singer, Laura Gorun, Dimitri Basil and Cooper Roussel is a cheeky homage to Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill series, with Kesha playing the part of a red leather-clad hell-raiser on the run from a group of colorfully named hired assassins. After finding out — in Italian for no apparent reason — that her unnamed tormentor only has “60 miles of blacktop” to stop her from achieving her goal, Kesha slips into her driving leathers and hits the road as a helicopter fires rounds at her ride while she speeds down the desert highway in a vintage Jaguar convertible.
