Kesha has never been one to shy away from the unconventional, but her latest fashion choice is taking “personal style” to a literal new level. During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, the 39-year-old singer revealed that her favorite gold pendant contains a piece of her own placenta.
A Family Legacy and a “Third Eye”
The unusual accessory is rooted in a family ritual. Kesha explained that the inspiration came from her mother, who believes that carrying a placenta “supposedly gives you second sight” and “helps open your third eye.”
The journey of the jewelry began at the hospital where Kesha was born. The singer shared that hospital staff initially tried to dispose of the placenta, but her mother “fought for that,” insisting on keeping it. After the battle with the medical staff, her mother stored the placenta in a box in the oven before it eventually ended up in the basement. The item was rediscovered when Kesha was 21 years old.
Describing the process of turning the biological remnant into jewelry, Kesha joked, “Throw it in the blender, pop it in a necklace. Work!”
Embracing the Esoteric
For the “Die Young” singer, the necklace is more than just a curiosity; it is a connection to a spiritual realm. “I love a good ritual. Right? Like, I’m a cult leader,” Kesha quipped during the interview. She noted that she prefers the “esoteric world” and the company of “spirit guides and the whole realm of angels” over the “boring” nature of life on Earth.
This penchant for the avant-garde extends beyond her jewelry. During the episode, Kesha also touched upon her interest in creating crowns and headdresses crafted from teeth, further highlighting her eclectic approach to art and identity.
A Comedic Mishap on Set
The revelation took a humorous turn when the singer realized her prized possession had gone missing mid-conversation. At one point, Kesha noticed the pendant was gone, leading her to tell host Alex Cooper, “Uh-oh. I lost my placenta on your couch.” The two spent a moment searching through the crevices of the cushions to recover the piece.
This candid moment adds to the singer’s long history of boundary-pushing public personas, continuing to blend the line between pop stardom and performance art. For more on this story, see Kesha porte un collier fait de son propre placenta.
