Para a Out Magazine, Kesha falou sobre criar um espaço seguro para pessoas LGBTQIA+ na sua turnê.
— Você será bem-vindo nesta família. Estamos juntos nesse clube secreto! Nós podemos ser as versões mais estranhas, mais queer e mais selvagens de nós mesmos. É puro escapismo! A comunidade queer é o meu lar. Eu sempre vou criar um lar para a comunidade queer. Eu quero que o meu show pareça uma igreja queer! Não importa quem você seja, você tem o direito de se amar e de amar quem você quiser.
Kesha on performing her old music during tour and falling back in love with the songs:
"I'm playing all the hits, but for a long period of time, there was a lot of emotional attachment to some of those songs that wasn't so positive behind the scenes. I wasn't inclined to play them for many years. Part of my healing process was to really fall back in love with these songs that connected me with my Animals. For this tour, I reproduced the songs for me and my fans so we could reprogram positive energy into these songs. Some of these songs I haven't played in 13 years and I love playing them! It's made me fall back in love with my own catalog. My fans have helped me fall back in love with these songs."
Voice actress Grey DeLisle says she has nothing to do with generative AI art of any kind and never will:
“It is poisoning under-served communities and slowly killing the industry that I love so dearly.”
Mick Foley recalls a phone call from someone high up in WWE after he announced he wouldn’t be associated with the company anymore:
“The first [call] was, ‘I respect your stance and I’ll tell the people in charge.’ And then I did receive a call from someone really high up, I don’t know if he wants me to mention his name. But he was saying, ‘Well, Paul [Levesque] is just on the physical fitness group they have. And Linda [McMahon] hasn’t worked in WWE in x amount of years.’
And I said, ‘Well, theoretically that’s the case, but I could’ve sworn I saw Paul behind the president’s shoulder when he was making policy.’ Whether Linda’s been working for the company or not, her last name is McMahon and she’s associated with the company. And then I said, ‘Come on. Five people in the Oval Office took the Stunner.’
And so he appreciated it. He did say he respected it. I didn’t close the door forever. I said in my announcement as long as this man is in office. I think more and more people are realizing that some of the things he’s doing are just cruelty for the sake of cruelty and enriching himself.”
