Kesha’s ex became the rare breakup footnote tied to a Taylor Swift party. The “Die Young” singer’s former boyfriend allegedly ended things after the pop star went to an Eras Tour afterparty without him. Kesha said the move was intentional because she wanted to test one dating suspicion. The story landed as a gossip grenade on the Call Her Daddy podcast. The next day, he returned the “keys.”
Kesha reveals her ex dumped her after she didn’t bring him to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour afterparty
On the On Call Her Daddy podcast episode released May 6, 2026, Alex Cooper asked Kesha about dating. The “Tik Tok” singer said, “I’ve only gotten dumped, actually, one time.” Then, she named the reason without identifying the Kesha ex. She said she “kind of thought he was probably a star f**ker.” So, after attending a Taylor Swift Eras Tour stop, she chose her girlfriend for the party. Kesha explained, “I’m not gonna take the boyfriend.” She did not name the man during the exchange.
However, the Call Her Daddy podcast story turned sharper when Kesha described the aftermath. She said the relationship had lasted “a year and a half.” Even so, Kesha’s ex came over the next day. He also “dropped the keys off.” Kesha recalled thinking, “Have you no shame?” She joked that he could have waited “11 days.” The punchline stayed friendly but messy. The singer said if anyone could cause that breakup, “Taylor Swift is the one.”
Beyond the afterparty drama, the “We R Who We R” singer said she was now “very single.” She also tied the story to her current dating reset. Kesha said, “I am celibate because I’m calling in a f**king king.” Also, while discussing her song “Red Flag,” she said she had been avoiding old patterns. The Call Her Daddy podcast episode framed the split as less heartbreak than a very public red-flag audit.
