    Watch Kesha Brush Her Teeth With a Bottle of Jack to Celebrate ‘Tik Tok’ Hitting 1 Billion Spotify Streams

    Kesha may not have followed best dental practices Wednesday morning (Aug. 7), but that’s OK — it was for a special occasion. The pop star celebrated her 2009 smash “Tik Tok” surpassing a billion streams on Spotify by recreating one of its most iconic lyrics for fans, sharing a video of her actually brushing her teeth with a bottle of Jack Daniels.

    In the clip fittingly posted to TikTok, Kesha walks into her bathroom and unboxes her honorary Spotify plaque, complete with a silver dish in the center made to look like the streaming service’s logo. She then pulls out a bottle of whiskey, pours a helping into the dish and swirls her toothbrush around in it before proceeding to brush her teeth with the alcohol.

    “swallow, don’t spit,” she joked in the caption.

    The video comes exactly 15 years after the California native dropped “Tik Tok,” earning her first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The song went on to reign atop the chart for nine weeks.

    “TiK ToK was the first single that I put into this world that had my voice AND my name credited!!!!” Kesha wrote on X in honor of the track’s anniversary. “I remember making it fun and happy because that’s how I felt and wanted others to feel. What I’m so proud of is that’s how this song STILL makes me feel, through it all, and those are emotions I want all of us to connect to. 15 (!!!!!!) years later, I see this song as a snapshot into the way I saw the world at the time.”

    “That girl was naive and wild and playful,” she continued. “This song eternalizes a side of myself that I love very much, and now see I have to protect fiercely … my first baby stands for so much. It stands for fiercely protecting my fun and unadulterated joy, in myself and in others.”

    Kesha also revealed that she plans to re-record the track “when I have legal rights to.” The new version would reflect the lyric change she’s been singing during live performances in light of the several abuse allegations and lawsuits against Diddy this year: “Wake up in the morning like, ‘F–k P. Diddy,” as opposed to the original “… feeling like P. Diddy.”

    “Yes it is permanent,” she added of the lyric change in her tweet.
