Kesha felt 'isolated' when she was questioning her sexuality

Kesha felt "pretty isolated" when she was questioning her sexuality.

The 38-year-old singer - who has dated both men and women - has always wanted her concerts to be somewhere that people felt free to be themselves because of her own experiences witnessing a "lack of inclusion and a lack of acceptance" at a young age.

She told People magazine: "I remember saying when I began, if I have to tour the world, I'm going to make sure that my shows are a place where people can come be in their sexuality, because growing up as a woman or a girl, questioning my sexuality, I didn't find community in that. I felt pretty isolated."

The 'Rainbow' singer found herself looking to suppress parts of herself to be accepted but soon realised that wasn't the right thing to do.

She said: "I decided that actually I might not be the best, I might not be for everybody, but I'm going to be the f****** best at being myself.

"And I think that was a beautiful lesson."

And Kesha argued sexuality shouldn't be "shrouded in shame".

She said: "Sexuality should not be something that's shrouded in shame. I am a really big proponent of just be who you are and give yourself the permission to be proud and authentic in that."
