TomTom Posted September 15, 2023 Posted September 15, 2023 The biggest venue of her tour, the Washington show on 10/29, just switched to light blue on Ticketmaster (6k max. capacity) . The Chicago show (5k max. capacity) also switched to light blue on Ticketmaster this week. The Denver show sold out this week (4k max. capacity). Really good considering she had ZERO commercial success in half a decade, she definitely should add more dates and legs after the current ones are over. 4

Shots was an Animal/Cannibal outtake but from what I remember hearing from a (reputable) insider during the Tinychat days they really did consider releasing it as a single or standalone, or as part of an expanded Cannibal. As noted in the lawsuit docs, Cannibal was considered to be an LP at one point and not a partner EP. Spandex on the Distant Horizon was always a concept/joke and not actually an album planned between Animal and Warrior. Also, there was tea about Luke getting pissy that she wrote/recorded Woo Hoo with Matt Squire and not him. They had their issues for years but again from the Tinychat insider this really kicked off their disputes with the direction of the project that Warrior would become. You can really tell she was experimenting with a grungier/edgier sound with Woo Hoo, Pretty Lady, and Machine Gun Love, and Luke didn’t like it. All things considered though the entire conflict (as it relates to recording, not their personal relationship) would have been resolved if he just stopped being a selfish dick and gave her creative control… like Woo Hoo was a bonafide hit and would have done well on the charts (likely notching her another #1 if we’re being real) It’s not like she was showing up to Kemosabe HQ with Björk demos. We really ******* lost 2

I think Luke leaked WooHoo on purpose so she’ll be forced to bin it. Honestly, the whole making of Warrior is such a crazy ride. It’s miracle that she ended releasing something in the end. 3

Woo Hoo leaked before Pebe started interacting with fans on a personal level and contacting active Twitter stans so I’m more inclined to believe Bearman that Luke leaked it to sabotage its release. RCA had final say, though Luke had control of the recordings, so it would make sense he would leak it to force RCAs hand and sell it off. 1

Honestly, the whole making of Warrior is such a crazy ride. It’s miracle that she ended releasing something in the end. It really is crazy to think about her in these rooms full of men talking about her like a product, hit machine. She was at the top of the industry, millions (of people and $$$) invested in her career, and all she could listen to was “how can we make the biggest ROI on Kesha?” meanwhile she has a clear cohesive vision as an artist that’s completely invalidated every time she walks into a room. It really does inform and put into perspective her post-Warrior discog. The making-of could be a documentary (though I doubt she wants to relive it and I imagine many industry people would still be reluctant to speak). 3
gettsleazy Posted September 15, 2023 Posted September 15, 2023 Also Luke is obviously the big evil bogeyman in all of these scenarios but it really gobsmacks me to think about the sheer amount of people that were complicit in her abuse/the conditions that lead her to rehab just because she was making them fat stacks. 3

To be fair, the power Dr. Luke exercised over her at that point in time is probably unprecedented for a producer. She was tied to his production company, tied to his publishing company and tied to his label. Not even Sony had enough sway over him to make him terminate his contracts with Kesha and it is described in the lawsuit documents how Luke repeatedly butted heads with Kesha's management without any kind of shame whatsoever and even went as far as suing Kesha's manager too. It is abundantly clear that Luke listens to nobody but himself, no matter how powerful his counterpart is. The recent Rolling Stone article perfectly described how terrified everybody who still works with him is of him and that Luke respects nobody except his own ego. It is also outlined in the court documents that Kesha's initial litigation strategy was hyper-aggressive because Luke had a reputation for hyper-aggressive retaliation campaigns against his opponents, so everyone who was inclined to help Kesha or support her in some way most likely thought twice about what they would dare to do with respect to Luke. 4

I think internally the era was dead before it even started considering all the toxic stuff happening behind the scenes. It was clear in 2013 that RCA was disappointed in Luke and how bad he fumbled the bag and it felt like with Timber things were turning around for her. 3

TomTom Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) #Mesha Quote Ke$ha joins during encore for surprise duet On the second song of the encore, Ke$ha walked out. With slicked-back hair and sporting a fur coat, it's hard not to connect Ke$ha's look to Macklemore's fashion in "Thrift Shop," where he raps: "I look incredible / I'm in this big-a** coat / From that thrift shop down the road." The two performers, who toured the country together a couple years back, had a palpable closeness and warmth on the stage. After delivering a hearty performance of "Good Old Days," the two went in for a long, emotion-filled hug. With Ke$ha beaming, it appeared to be a spirited reunion. "Ke$ha texted me yesterday and was like, 'You're gonna be in Nashville, I'm in Nashville.' It's probably years since I've seen Ke$ha, and I love Ke$ha, she is a brilliant, beautiful star," Macklemore told the audience, adding that he texted Ke$ha today, but didn't know she would be present at the show until he left for the encore and his manager said she was backstage. https://eu.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2023/09/18/macklemore-kicks-off-tour-in-nashville-kesha-joins-for-encore/70877424007/ Edited September 20, 2023 by TomTom2288 2
