single Kesha - "Joyride"

[305]

I was left unsatisfied.

Oh well at least there's a music video and the era isn't dead

the way she didn't lipsync a SINGLE word

[Topaz]

Hmm idk how to feel about the video, but I dont hate it.

[Vixen Eyes]

help, i saw this thumbnail right next to joyride and thought we also got a BTS video with it

Okay y'all I'm gonna take a whack at dissecting this video a bit.

 

Clearly the plot of this is a metaphor for her experience in the music industry. Her being freed from a "9-year prison sentence" and running from people who are doing the best to make sure she fails lets us know she is prepared for the uphill battle ahead.

 

The idea of a 'joy ride' takes on a whole new meaning through this video. The spirit of the video feels like an in between of where she was and where she's going. She's showing us what she is capable of. I'm fully interpreting this video as a reintroduction to Kesha as we know her. It's building block #1. I think this is meant to be the first piece of many to come, maybe a trilogy of videos?

 

I've gotten the impression from the first week she dropped this song that Joyride was always meant for her to test the waters, gauge public interest and see how people react to her new vibe, and tweak accordingly. This video is no different. She will be paying attention to our reactions, seeing how this visual performs for her and go from there with it.

 

Lastly. What do yall think AML on the license plate stands for? I fear that may be the album title.

it's a cute video. i don't like the fact that she doesn't mimic verses… 

[TheBoss]

LOVED the first 30 seconds so there's that! I like the concept, it just wasn't well executed imho, giving the fact that the "Delusional" cover art also has that on the road imagery and due to the character of the same name it makes me think that maybe this wasn't really planned originally as a video for Joyride or that maybe it was shot at the same time as the Delusional video (if we get any) hence why she's not lipsyncing at all and the obvious cliff-hanger

I'm curious why it says AML 1 if that is the case. They panned to it specifically I feel like there's something we're supposed to be picking up from that

Oooh that's a good point actually… you may just be on to something here.

 

Like there was never going to be a video for this but once she started video treatment for other song(s) she had this idea?

[SmittenCake]

I ******* LOVED the video. 10/10

 

 

just had to buy the song + $7 EP on Amazon Music right now bc im THAT gagged

 

 

 

[Simple]

idk what was that and what was happening. 
Lots of cars, lots of shooting and 0 explosions. Did the budget run out mid filming? 
 

And the video just seems like a bunch of random clips edited together with the song added as an afterthought

Yeah I guess she wanted Joyride to have a visual but it took them so long to come up with an idea that maybe she planned to take some of the extra footage of the second single music video and create this video, like the first chapter of the visual experience i guess

 

"Derek Delusional" seems extra intentional lol they were definitely shot back to back (I hope)

Who knows- all the teased titles might even get videos.  One thing is for sure, this video is ushering in the era and introducing it. I do think certain things don't make sense yet and will later— so let's keep that in mind!

[CherryBay]

Was that a car commercial or something 

Wasn't she allowed in that particular state to sing in her music video 

 

intense and boring unfortunately 

wasted opportunity she could dance sing and be sexier 

 

Joyride is still that Biatch but hey this music video could have been much better

[Tinashebanks]

Thought this was Quantum Baby Universe video lmao

[gettsleazy]

This was a teaser video for the actual video dropping in 2026

[Lil Mistee]

Lovely budget but where's the real video meemaw

[ImpressMeMuch]

I love it but it doesn't feel like a music video lol

 

It feels like the introduction to a visual album 

 

the first 30 seconds ate

i'm already visualizing a whole revenge story - next vid for delusional will start where this one ended but then we will see "X time before…" and delulu starts playing 

 

the whole story will end with Freedom.mp3 after some more mvs 

[Antimuggle]

Just watched the music video and why is she not mouthing the words. It would be so much better if she did that…and maybe some choreography during the last chorus.

Maybe she'll do a Lorde Solar Power and have 6 videos all tied together in concept. That would be awesome
