She doesn\u2019t have to ~take it off~ to embrace her natural beauty! Kesha<\/b><\/a> transformed<\/a> her music career from her early \u201cTiK ToK\u201d days to her heart-wrenching \u201cPraying\u201d ballad. However, she occasionally takes time for herself to relax by hitting the beach or hanging by the pool, and she never fails to wear a stunning bikini<\/a> or swimsuit<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDreaming about boogieing with my animals and my friends on the @keshacruise,\u201d the pop star<\/a> captioned a beautiful Instagram photo in November 2018, which featured her donning a one-piece bathing suit standing on a beach at sunset.<\/p>\n Not only that, but the \u201cWe R Who We R\u201d artist has also worn a few sultry looks for her onstage performances, whether it be a bikini top or a sheer bodysuit<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite the confidence she seems to exude, Kesha previously opened up about struggling with body image and self-confidence in a May 2015 interview with Vogue<\/i><\/a>. After she reached new heights in fame, the Los Angeles native experienced the societal pressures that women face with their physical image, which led to her battling an eating disorder.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSlowly but surely my self-esteem [started to] deteriorate,\u201d she told the outlet at the time.\u00a0 \u201cThere was a lot of not eating \u2014 and I started to think being hungry to the point of feeling almost faint was a positive thing. The worse it got, the more positive feedback I was getting. Inside I was really unhappy, but outside, people were like, \u2018Wow, you look great.’\u201d<\/p>\n Amid her difficult journey, Kesha explained how she \u201cwanted to be genuine\u201d since she \u201cwas singing these songs like \u2018We R Who We R,\u2019\u201d and found a way to combat the issue.<\/p>\n \u201cI went to an eating-disorder specific rehab site where a nutritionist taught me that food is a positive thing for your body,\u201d she added. \u201cI realized being healthy is the most important thing I can do for myself \u2026 Every day I have to look in the mirror and make the choice to be kind to myself. This is who I am \u2014 I have to love that.\u201d<\/p>\n Nearly two years later, the \u201cTake it Off\u201d artist went into further detail about her eating disorder in an October 2017 Rolling Stone<\/i><\/a> interview, noting she \u201creally thought [she] wasn\u2019t supposed to eat food.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAnd then if I ever did [eat food], I felt very ashamed, and I would make myself throw up because I\u2019d think, \u2018Oh, my God, I can\u2019t believe I actually did that horrible thing. I\u2019m so ashamed of myself because I don\u2019t deserve to eat food,\u2019\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, Kesha now encourages her fans to embrace self-love after going through her difficult ordeal.<\/p>\n
