Kesha Posts Heartwarming Throwback Video Celebrating 15th Anniversary of Debut Album: ‘I Had No Idea You Were That B–ch’

Kesha posted a heartwarming video celebrating the 15th Anniversary of her debut album, including a throwback video from that era.

“I spent my whole life learning the art of songwriting from my mom, an iconic songwriter herself, so when Animal came out, it was a culmination of the sounds of growing up, the sounds of falling in love, heartbreak, the sounds of coming of age, and I had no idea what these songs would open up for me and what kind of life I would be creating for myself just by putting these songs out in the world,” Kesha wrote, giving props to her mom, Pebe Sebert, a Nashville songwriter known for co-writing the 1980 Dolly Parton track “Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle to You.” “I’m so happy I did, and so happy you’ve connected to it the way that you have, and continue to do so,” she added, noting that the album’s debut hit, “Tik Tok,” had its biggest streaming day ever on Spotify last week following her set on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. “The only reason I made this record is to make kids have fun and have dance parties and inspire people to just be happy,” she says, her face covered in glitter in the clip that ends with a montage of looks and iconic moments from that era.
