January 21: Ke$ha asked her fans to mail her their teeth in rehab so she could make crafts with them. (In 2012, she famously fashioned a headdress, bustier, and jewelry out of fan-teeth.)

March 22: Ke$ha announced that her stint in rehab was successful and she was "feeling healthy" and "working on tons of new music." To demonstrate her progress, she turned the dollar sign in her name into a normal letter s, and she changed her Twitter handle from @Ke$haSuxx to @KeshaRose.

October 14: News broke that Kesha filed a lawsuit against celebrity pop producer Dr. Luke alleging that he sexually, physically, and emotionally abused her.

December 3: When Lady Gaga admitted on Howard Stern's radio show that she was raped by a producer when she was 19, Kesha's lawyer, Mark Geragos, tweeted "Guess who the rapist was," and when a follower replied with Dr. Luke's name, Geragos replied "#bingo." Lady Gaga's PR firm immediately denied that Dr. Luke was the producer Gaga was talking about.

December 8: Dr. Luke countersued Geragos for his Twitter claims.
