Kesha drops “Yippee-Ki-Yay” ft. T-Pain from upcoming album, announces tour

Kesha at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 20^ 2018 in Las Vegas^ NV

Kesha will release her long-awaited, sixth studio album, ‘. (PERIOD)’ arriving Friday, July 4th on her own label, Kesha Records.

‘. (PERIOD)’ is the follow-up to 2023’s ‘Gag Order’,  and will feature Kesha’s recent singles Joyride and Delusional along with the newly shared T-Pain collaboration, YIPPEE-KI-YAY, a pop-country track produced by Pink Slip and Nova Wav.  Listen to YIPPEE-KI-YAY – HERE.

In addition, Kesha announced plans for a North American headline tour alongside the newly reunited Scissor Sisters (Jake Shears, Babydaddy & Del Marquis) on all dates — marking their first North American tour in over a decade.

The T*ts Out Tour kicks off July 1st in West Valley City, Utah before hitting arenas and amphitheaters across the continent through an August 10th finale in Tampa, Florida. Pop disruptor Slayyyter will support from July 1-July 18 with rising UK artist Rose Gray from July 19-21 and July 24-August 10.

Kesha shared of the tour: “The most political thing we can do right now is love. Love ourselves and love each other … I’m going T*ts Out this summer to bring as much safety, fun, acceptance, love, connection, and celebration to this country because we are just as much the fabric of this FREE nation as anyone else. We will not be quiet, and we will fight through joy! I think it’s time to make LOVE, not content. LOVE, not anger. LOVE, not hatred, and love, not war. I’m committed to bringing my newfound freedom to a city near you. A celebration is in order …  Let’s fight chaos with love, so let’s see how much love we can bring to the summer of 2025. And along the way, I’m looking for a sugar daddy, so if you bring a tall, hot, single friend, you get extra animal points. Let’s help each other find some love and connection this summer.”

Scissor Sisters shared: “We are stoked to extend our reunion to the US and Canada this summer alongside Kesha. There has always been a bit of anarchy and chaos to both of our live shows – and we can’t wait to bring that ‘anything can happen’ energy across North America again.”

Tickets for the 2025 The T*ts Out Tour will be available via Ticketmaster.  For more information, head to at Kesha’s official website.

Netflix orders Willy Wonka competition series ‘The Golden Ticket’

golden ticket/ willy Wonka

Netflix has announced a new reality competition series titled The Golden Ticket, inspired by Roald Dahl’s classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The Golden Ticket will see contestants seek to gain entry to a “retro-futuristic” chocolate factory  and then try to make it through all the challenges they will encounter, in what’s described as a high-stakes social experiment. Participants will adapt and strategize through games, tests and temptations that are designed to prove their resilience and ability to thrive in the candy-colored, retro-futuristic wonderland. The one catch being that only players who find a golden ticket will be allowed to enter the chocolate factory.

Jeff Gaspin, VP of unscripted at Netflix, said in a statement: “We are thrilled to bring the magic of The Chocolate Factory to life like never before. This one-of-a-kind reality competition blends adventure, strategy and social dynamics, creating an experience that is as captivating as it is unpredictable. For the first time, a lucky few won’t just have to imagine the experience — they’ll get to step inside the factory and live it.”

The Golden Ticket has now begun casting for contestants, with applications to appear on the show are now open to legal residents of United States who are at least 18 years or older. The filming location and premiere date have yet to be announced.
