Reneé Rapp Says Kesha Was Her 'Everything Growing Up': 'Just the Sickest'

The actress and singer got candid about the role Kesha played in her life as a child

Kesha has a big fan in Reneé Rapp!

While chatting with Teen Vogue, the actress and singer recognized the "TiK ToK" singer, 36, as being a major figure in her life as a child.

"She was my everything growing up," said Rapp, 23. "She's just so… not ‘wild’ in the sense that she's wild… she was so wild and free-spirited and hot, and seemed sure of herself, but was also really vulnerable and outspoken. And also was just the sickest."

Rapp added that she admired Kesha for being a "version of a woman in pop music that I love.” When asked by the outlet what her "top two songs" for a playlist of her life would be, she included Kacey Musgraves' "Breadwinner" and Kesha's “Your Love Is My Drug."

When Kesha got wind of Rapps' kind words, she shared a portion of the interview in a post on X, formally known as Twitter, and added in the caption, "🫶 @reneerapp."

Like Kesha, Rapp has been focusing on her music career since departing her series regular role on The Sex Lives of College Girls.

"College girls moved me out to LA and introduced me to some of my favorite people. 2 and a half years later – it's given me y’all and this community," she shared in a social media post in July. “Thank u Mindy [Kaling], Justin [Noble] and everyone at Max for believing in me.”

Although Rapp maintains a recurring role in the hit HBO Max series, this year, she's also worked on Paramount's upcoming Mean Girls The Musical movie and released her debut album Snow Angel in August.

While speaking about the music release with PEOPLE, she opened up about the vulnerability she put into the album.

"All the songs I write obviously are about things that I've been through personally, but I think that any relationship I've ever had in my life is all culminated into one on this project and in these songs," she said. "I love relationships. I love so hard. I am very protective of the people that I love. I'm very protective of myself, and all of these situations were taken from relationships that I had, whether they be good or bad."

Rapp is currently on the road promoting her new music through the "Snow Hard Feelings Tour."
