Kesha delivered an unforgettable surprise Thursday night when she made a dramatic, unannounced appearance at The Abbey in West Hollywood to celebrate the release of her latest single, “Boy Crazy.”
Fans were stunned as the pop star arrived at the iconic gay bar riding shotgun in none other than Angelyne the Billboard Queen’s signature pink Corvette. The moment quickly became the stuff of nightlife legend, blending two cultural icons in one electric entrance at 692 N. Robertson Blvd.

Draped in a pink veil and wearing oversized sunglasses reminiscent of Angelyne’s trademark look, Kesha stepped out of the car and into a frenzy of cheers. Greeted by a crowd of fans and models from Mistr, an LGBTQ+ health brand, the singer soaked up the adoration as the bar erupted in excitement.
Photos captured by nightlife photographer Rob Flo (@therobflo on Instagram) show Kesha reveling in the celebration, dancing alongside go-go dancers and Mistr ambassadors, fully embracing the energy of the night. Videos shared widely on social media show the singer performing her new single to a packed, ecstatic crowd.
“Boy Crazy” officially dropped Thursday, marking another bold chapter in Kesha’s evolving musical journey. The hyperpop-infused track blends robotic vocal effects with her signature irreverent style. Laced with cheeky, provocative lyrics about her love for men, the song includes lines like “You’re my cocaine” and declarations of being “boy crazy.” It’s an anthem tailor-made for The Abbey, a venue that celebrates queerness, freedom, and of course, boy craziness.
The single’s artwork is as provocative as the song itself—featuring a surreal, chaotic image of Kesha being choked while a cigarette and a phone are held to her face. It’s an arresting visual that complements the track’s raw, uninhibited message. Kesha originally teased the song via Vault.fm, where she encouraged fans to “GO CRAZY” ahead of the full release.

The release of “Boy Crazy” follows Kesha’s recent collaboration with T-Pain on “Yippe-Ki-Yay” and continues the momentum for her upcoming studio album titled Period (.). The album also features the previously released singles “Joyride” and “Delusional.” Fans won’t have to wait long to see Kesha bring these songs to life on stage—she’s gearing up for her headlining “Tits Out” arena tour in support of the album.
Thursday night’s appearance adds to Kesha’s growing history with the West Hollywood queer community. This past June, she headlined the OUTLOUD Music Festival during WeHo Pride, delivering a show-stopping performance that drew praise from fans and critics alike. Later that evening, she was seen partying at Beaches Tropicana with pop icon Adam Lambert.
Kesha’s Halloween appearance in 2024 also solidified her deep connection to the local LGBTQ+ scene. She made a surprise cameo at “Night of 1000 KESHAs,” a one-night-only drag extravaganza hosted at Beaches Tropicana. The event, held on October 24, featured jaw-dropping performances by drag stars Scarlett Bobo, Cece Cantell, Kyra Jete, Jada Slayy, Joella, and Tasha Tektite—all paying homage to Kesha with their own fierce interpretations of her style and music.
The singer’s continued visibility and support within LGBTQ+ spaces have only strengthened her status as a beloved queer icon. Known for her outspoken advocacy and empowering anthems, Kesha has long been a favorite among LGBTQ+ audiences. Her music frequently challenges gender norms, celebrates sexuality, and invites listeners to embrace their full, authentic selves—qualities that make her a natural fit for West Hollywood’s vibrant nightlife.
“Boy Crazy” is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. The single is part of a larger creative renaissance for Kesha, who continues to evolve musically while staying true to the themes of rebellion, liberation, and self-expression that first made her a star.
With each surprise appearance and daring new release, Kesha reminds fans that she’s not just back—she’s bolder than ever. If last night’s performance at The Abbey is any indication, the Period (.) era is shaping up to be her most audacious yet.
