Fans who send pop star mail may soon find their envelopes containing more than the usual letters and photographs. The 39-year-old singer, known for hits like “Blow”, took to social media to reiterate an unorthodox demand for human molars and incisors. Providing a forwarding address in Los Angeles, she posted a blunt message on X: ICYMI: I want your teeth

The unusual hobby started when the singer became obsessed with her supporters, leading a fan to mention that a child had lost a baby tooth. From Fan Mail to Homemade Jewelry and Home Decor
What begins as routine correspondence for most musical acts takes a distinct turn in Kesha’s household. The singer revealed during a July 15 appearance on the Las Culturistas podcast, hosted by Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, that discarded teeth do not need to go to waste. Rather than letting baby teeth disappear down drains, she suggested parents redirect them. “Can I have your teeth, please? Can I actually have them?” she told the podcast hosts. “Well, the teeth started when I became obsessed with my fans. And then someone was like, ‘My child lost their teeth.’ And I was like, ‘Can I have them?’ Cuz I want to make jewelry out of it. And so, then I made a necklace and an earring and then a belt and then a crown. Oh, the crown’s wild. And then I just started collecting them cuz it kind of freaks out straight men.” Kesha, via USA Today Beyond accessories, the collection serves as domestic decoration. The singer explained that she stores the items in little jars positioned throughout her residence, noting that she has previously been gifted more than 1,000 teeth by supporters over the years. The public appeal split supporters across social media platforms. While some followers praised the unorthodox craft project as wonderfully eccentric, others admitted the concept provoked chills or disbelief, with one user jokingly asking if she was boiling the items first. The teeth collection is not restricted to human donors. During an earlier interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper, she discussed keeping extracted teeth from her pet cats because they remind her of the people and animals she loves. That same appearance revealed an even wider scope of keepsake jewelry. She noted that she carries a piece of her own placenta set as a necklace, explaining that her mother saved it after believing it could help open a person’s third eye. Worth a look
