Kesha has admitted she collects human teeth, including children’s teeth from fans, and transforms them into jewelry, a belt, and a crown, a practice she says is partly meant to freak out straight men.
During a podcast appearance, the 39-year-old pop star explained how her unusual collection began.
“The teeth started when I became obsessed with my fans,”
she said, per multiple outlets.
“And then someone was like, my child lost their teeth. And I was like, can I have them? Because I want to make jewelry out of it.”
She described progressing from a necklace and earrings to
“a belt and then a crown.”
She noted that she now displays more than 1,000 teeth in small jars around her home and openly solicits more, adding,
“I just started collecting them because it kind of freaks out straight men. Yeah. Anything to keep them away.”
The conversation, which began with a discussion about narwhals and their prominent teeth, turned interactive when Kesha asked listeners to mail her their teeth, joking about logistics and emphasizing the request was serious.
Kesha, whose legal name is Kesha Rose Sebert, has built a public persona defined by eccentricity and boundary-pushing art. She has collected teeth from her cats as well and, separately, revealed on the Call Her Daddy podcast in May 2026 that she wears a necklace made from her preserved placenta daily, a practice her mother chose after birth, believing it offers spiritual benefits including opening the third eye, according to People magazine.
“So your placenta supposedly gives you second sight, helps open your third eye,”
she explained. The eclectic approach reflects a broader pattern in her public life, where fan interactions regularly become material for her art.
Her candid sharing underscores how celebrities can transform potentially unsettling habits into points of connection and self-expression. By framing the tooth collection around fan generosity and playful provocation, Kesha invites audiences to engage with her on her own terms. This approach continues a pattern of boundary-pushing that has kept her in the public eye while raising questions about consent and creativity in artist-fan relationships. The revelation fits an artist who has never shied away from being fully herself.
