Kesha has encountered plenty of wild situations throughout her career, but her latest visitor left the “TiK ToK” singer genuinely frightened. The 39-year-old musician shared a video of a raccoon attempting to crawl into her home through an open window. Despite Kesha repeatedly ordering the animal to leave, it refused to back down, eventually forcing the pop star to surrender the room.
Kesha recorded the unexpected security breach while standing several feet away from the wild animal. The raccoon had positioned itself on an open windowsill and appeared determined to enter the house. Although Kesha acknowledged that the creature looked adorable, she remained wary of getting too close. “No raccoons in the house!” Kesha shouted. “I’m scared of you… Get out of the house! You’re very cute.”
Her conflicting reaction made the encounter even funnier. The singer wanted the uninvited guest gone but could not resist complimenting it in the middle of their standoff. Unfortunately for Kesha, the raccoon seemed completely unimpressed by her commands.
The Stubborn Animal Refuses To Leave
5The raccoon remained perched on the windowsill as Kesha continued trying to shoo it away from a safe distance. It did not retreat when she raised her voice, nor did it seem concerned when she established a strict no-raccoons policy for the house.
After realizing that the animal had no intention of following her directions, Kesha abandoned her effort to reclaim the room. She instead closed the interior door separating herself from the space the raccoon was attempting to access.
“I guess you win,” she admitted. The hilarious surrender allowed Kesha to avoid getting closer while leaving the persistent visitor in control of the standoff.
The Singer Has Been Busy With New Music And Touring
5The unexpected visitor arrived during an active period in Kesha’s career. She released her sixth studio album, “Period,” in July 2025 through her independent label, Kesha Records. The project featured the 2024 single “Joyride,” along with “Delusional,” “Boy Crazy,” and “Yippee-Ki-Yay,” her collaboration with T-Pain.
Kesha supported the newer record with the “T-ts Out” tour, which ran for one month last summer. She later returned to the road for the “Freedom Tour,” which began in May and is scheduled to continue through August.
Kesha Called ‘Period’ Her First Truly Free Album
5Kesha’s latest musical era arrived after she settled her lengthy legal battle with producer Dr. Luke. She had accused him of sexual assault in 2014. During an interview with Paper Magazine last year, Kesha described “Period” as the “first album where I’m truly free in every way.” “And not only in all the legal ways, but also I’m really working on healing and feeling free from any residual emotional turmoil that’s left in my body,” she said.
The singer explained that reaching that point required more than resolving the legal dispute. “I spent the weekend dancing and trying to move trauma through my body,” Kesha continued. “I’m really trying to embody freedom in every way possible. I’m trying to allow myself to feel what freedom feels like, because it’s been almost 20 years for me. And that doesn’t just happen in a day. That programming lives inside your mind and your spirit and your body.”
Kesha acknowledged that everyone experiences different barriers to feeling free, noting, “And we all have ways in which we are or are not free. My perspective and vantage point is obviously my own lived experience…”
Kesha Permanently Changed The Opening Lyric To ‘TiK ToK’
5Kesha’s iconic hit has also received a significant update since its original 2010 release. The song famously opened with the line, “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy.” However, Kesha permanently changed it to, “Wake up in the morning feeling like, f-ck P. Diddy!”
She began altering the lyric during live performances in late 2023 following a lawsuit and disturbing allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs. The revised line went viral after Kesha performed it alongside Reneé Rapp during a surprise Coachella appearance in 2024.
In August 2024, Kesha confirmed on social media that the change was permanent. She also vowed to officially re-record “TiK ToK” with the updated opening as soon as she obtained the legal rights to do so.
