LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pop star Kesha has always been known for her bold personality, but her approach to testing a partner’s loyalty adds another layer to her unique character.

In a candid interview with Elle magazine, Kesha shared how she once used a Taylor Swift party to test the intentions of her ex-boyfriend.

While reflecting on her new music and personal growth, she also opened up about the intriguing way a relationship ended after what she described as a "starf---er" test, as per Entertainment Weekly.

Kesha’s relationship story centers around her ex-boyfriend, who she suspected was more interested in the celebrity spotlight than in her.

Instead of confronting him directly, Kesha devised a loyalty test that was both subtle and revealing.

The singer decided to take a friend instead of her boyfriend to one of Swift's exclusive parties. Her instincts about his shallow motives were soon proven right when he broke up with her the following day.

"I had a feeling that he was in it for the wrong reasons and was a bit of a starf---er," Kesha recalled during the interview. "I decided to test that theory and took one of my friends instead of him to Taylor Swift’s party."

It didn’t take long for her suspicions to be confirmed. "He came over the next day and broke up with me," Kesha revealed, emphasizing that the breakup only solidified what she already knew.

Kesha previously hinted at this breakup in a tweet back in March when she asked her fans to share their worst relationship stories.

After one follower encouraged her to spill her own tale, Kesha responded with the bombshell: "I got dumped because I didn’t take a guy to the Taylor Swift afterparty."

She went on to share more details, adding, “We were together for a year and a half.” 

This wasn’t the first time Kesha publicly addressed her breakup, as she had taken to X (formerly Twitter) four months prior to announce, "I just got dumped for the first time… in my LIFE. Can you believe it? We’re all f---ed."

Kesha has kept tight-lipped about specific timeline of her relationships

Notably, Kesha did not reveal the identity of the ex-boyfriend involved in this story.

Last year, Kesha had been dating film producer Riccardo Maddalosso, and more recently, she was linked to health-tech entrepreneur Michael Gilvary in July.

However, the singer has kept tight-lipped about the specific timeline of her relationships, leaving fans to wonder who the Swift party incident involved.

Kesha’s story isn’t just about a relationship gone wrong, though. In her interview with Elle, the singer reflected on her overall experience with dating, revealing her frustrations with the Los Angeles dating scene.

She didn’t shy away from comparing the process of finding love to "digging through the garbage."

Despite the negative experiences, Kesha emphasized that she’s still open to love - but only on her own terms.

She explained that after a series of disappointing relationships, she realized the importance of treating herself with the same level of care and attention that she desired from a partner.

"I kept hearing people say, 'I’m looking for The One.' I kept waiting for somebody else to fill that space, and then I just stepped into it myself," Kesha shared.

She elaborated on her journey of self-love, explaining how she began taking herself on vacations, buying flowers, and indulging in luxury shopping trips - all to celebrate herself and reclaim her joy.

"You gotta be all those things to yourself - your own boyfriend, sugar daddy, rich husband, best friend, cheerleader," Kesha advised.
