Ke$ha on Jimmy Fallon: talks what's next, her tour, and working with Madonna
The Destroyed hitmaker stopped by Jimmy Fallon last night (Friday, April 5 - photo above). She performed a flashy, bright and colorful performance that was a quick megamix of her singles Afterparty and Destroyed, leading into the newly confirmed single,
You And Me Were Meant to Be.
Ke$ha also had a sit down talk with Jimmy Fallon following her performance.
sorry for those who have to painfully sit through me pretending to know what Jimmy Fallon's personality is like
Jimmy: Ke$ha! Well, that was QUITE performance, I must say.
Ke$ha: Thanks Mr. Fallon *smiles*
Jimmy: *laughs* Destroyed, that's such a great song. Who knew Tik Tok girl had it in her?
Ke$ha: Yeah, me either! *rolls eyes/laughs* No, but I hope people actually value me as an artist. If not, that's ok! Everyone's into their own thing I guess. I like to think I've come a long way.
Jimmy: I'd certainly say so! Your album is all over the place... I even own a copy myself (
)
Ke$ha: Really? Nice.
Jimmy: Let me just ask, how did your collab with Madonna come to be? So unexpected, such a strange combination, but it actually worked out not too bad, eh?
Ke$ha: YES!
Madonna's incredible. We were actually both signed to the same label, that's how we met.
I was flattered when she accepted my offer to collaborate. She's a sweet lady, wait until y'all hear what she's working on. OOP I'll stop there...
Jimmy: Okay, okay - that SNL performance and video was sweet, I like how she integrated.
Ke$ha: It was weird, I love it. But I'm a weird bitch, so.
Jimmy: Mmmmhm... *eyes up crowd suggestively* ANYWAYS... what was that new song you performed?
*crowd cheers lightly*
Ke$ha:
It's my song, You And Me Were Meant to Be, my new single! It fits how I'm feeling right now, too - it's just the perfect time. And the video is gonna be like... a Destroyed part II. I'm filming it this week. I'm so excited to share it with everyone, so happy to finally be able to confirm it!
Jimmy: Nice! Will you be performing it on your new tour!?
Ke$ha: HELL YEAH!
Jimmy: Tell us about that, you and Avril? Sounds like one big room full of bad bitches.
*crowd chuckles*
Ke$ha: *stares blankly, laughs*
I love Avril. We're both in it for the same things, we just clicked right away when we met. We both love rock music and recognize our ties to it. And we're both WILD, obviously, that's why we named our tour WE WANT IT WILD! It's a play on words of her song "You Want It", love that song, and "Wild". If y'all didn't already get that.
Jimmy: Nice, nice. The tour is huge, isn't it? Almost every continent... wow!
Ke$ha: Yes, i
t'll be a LOT of work but we both love to tour and are so excited... it'll be SO fun with Avril, too, it always is! Who knows, maybe a collab or two will come out of it.
Jimmy:
Are you performing any songs together on the tour?
Ke$ha:
Ummmmmmmmm...
Jimmy: ...well then! What do you plan to do next, Ke$ha?
Ke$ha: Well, after this I'll probably go take a piss and buy some beer.
Jimmy: Oh, can I come?
Ke$ha: Yes! Yes yes yes. Oh, but what's next... well, for now, I'm putting out a new single and stuff for everyone. I'll be performing at the global awards on Thursday, so excited for that... I'm not totally sure what'll happen. I'll be touring for the next few months, obviously, but I have a few breaks here and there and might use them to... who knows! *smiles* Y'all will see.
Jimmy: Well, it's been wonderful having you, Queen$ha. You're a gem. Come visit me more.
Ke$ha: Yeah yeah!
Next time I'm bringing you a present.
Jimmy:
I'll wear gloves.
Ke$ha: **** you! *laughs*
You And Me Were Meant to Be will be officially released to Pop, Rhythmic and Hot AC radio on Tuesday, April 9th.
