The worse I got and the sicker I got, the better a lot of people around me were saying that I looked. Upon exiting rehab, Kesha officially dropped the dollar sign from her name. Her original performance moniker simply reminded her too much of her "old self.

During a SXSW panel with Refinery 29 in , the singer-songwriter elaborated on why she opted to drop her original stage name styling: "I let go of my facade about being a girl who didn't care.

Luke in California in order to focus on her music. I could party in a cardboard box with people who are funny and don't care. For me, it's really about who I surround myself with, so I just try to always be with hilarious people. Just because I'm sassy and have a mouth on me doesn't mean I'm coming from a negative place. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance.

If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing. I do destroy men on a weekly basis.

It's like a hobby. I'm like a praying mantis. I do have a stylist who helps me shop, because I don't have time to shop. I don't want young people to think they can't make a difference because they don't have money. I love creepy old dudes. I love that they have so much self-confidence, despite having no evidence whatsoever to back it up. You really can't stereotype people or put them in boxes, it's unfair.

I'm not saying I look cool, but every single time I go onstage, it is a fail if I don't feel like I'm going to pass out at least twice.

I'm really fun. I'm ridiculously fun. I hope I'm infectiously fun. I'm writing constantly about all my crazy experiences across the world, so I have a lot of music I've already written. I grew up in the Bible Belt and I made my own clothes and dyed my hair purple. Nobody ever knew what to do with me. I know that I can sing.
