Ke$ha knows all about the perks of being a headliner. On her Get $leazy Tour, the singer gets to call all the shots, blast her fans in the face with tons of glitter and handpick which dudes she wants to party and share the stage with.
But it's not all backstage shenanigans and groupie love. When MTV News sat down with the "Blow" singer in New York earlier this week before her gig at Roseland Ballroom, Ke$ha said that amid the nightly onstage parties there have also been some poignant moments on her first headlining outing.
"Best moment? There are so many. Every night's amazing. I have kids outside right now chanting my name and it's awesome," she said of the first leg of the tour. "There was one night a fan came onstage, I invited him onstage, and he had a tattoo of the dollar sign. I was like, 'Oh, that's awesome! Badass. You're part of the cult, man.' "
And then, she said, he began to cry and explained that he was able to come out of the closet to his friends and family thanks to her song "Animal."
"And I'm standing onstage about to sing a song about growing back a pair of testicles ["Grow a Pear"] and I had tears rolling down my face and chills all over my body," she said. "Because that's really the reason I do music, to inspire people to be themselves."
Ke$ha has been a vocal supporter of the "It Gets Better" video project, which aims to help gay, bisexual and transgender youth find hope in the face of teasing and bullying.
The "Get $leazy" juggernaut continues on Saturday night with a show at Clarion University in Clarion, Pennsylvania.

While will.i.am used to cut a rug, these days, when he and the rest of the Black Eyed Peas hit the stage, will's dancing skills are noticeably absent from the show, which usually includes a slew of other eye-catching props like over-the-top costumes and lasers.
"I'm the only one dancing now," apl.de.ap laughed to MTV News when we caught up with the group at Terminal 5 in New York, where they were taping a show set to air Friday at midnight ET on MTV.
But will.i.am has a good reason for his recent lack of dancing: competition with himself.
"I like to allow the old me to have the crown somewhere, because me versus the old me — I'm a better businessman now than when I was 22, I'm a better producer than I was when I was 23, so I got to let the old me beat me somewhere," will.i.am said.
Fergie, meanwhile, had this explanation: "The pants got tighter."
The MTV special might not show off too much of will's dancing, but it will feature some of the group's biggest hits. "Before we had 'I Gotta Feeling,' it was like, 'We know we gotta play "Pump It" and "Let's Get It Started," ' " will.i.am explained. "We used to do 'Let's Get It Started' at the end, because that was our big finale, which didn't really make sense. And for a while, [we did] 'My Humps' and then it got to the point where we didn't want to play 'My Humps' no more. You know, 'cause 'I met a girl down at the disco,' I just didn't want to say that no more, lyrically.
"It wasn't like my best lyrically, but it was fun," he continued. "It wasn't lyrical miracles, but the beat was rocking, so we throw the beat in there and just let the beat linger, but now 'I Gotta Feeling' is like 'What?' and when we perform it, in my mind, I'm like, 'Where did that song come from?' I can't believe this is us, and look at all these people singing it like it's theirs."
Don't miss the Black Eyed Peas' performance Friday at midnight ET on MTV.

'3D Sex and Zen' beats 'Avatar' and 'Lust, Caution' at the box office
According to the Hollywood Reporter, "3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy" broke records as the highest-grossing 3D debut in Hong Kong, raking in HK$2.79 million on its first day, April 14.
The 3D erotica not only beat "Avatar," which made HK$2.5 million on opening day in 2009, but it also double the HK$1.2 million opening of Category III-peer "Lust, Caution."
The new record by "3D Sex and Zen" marks a return to the soft porn throne for producer Stephen Shiu Sr.
The original "Sex and Zen" released in 1991 also by Shiu Sr. held the original record for the highest grossing Chinese-language adult-only film in Hong Kong for 17 years. It was finally usurped by "Lust, Caution" in 2007.

Taylor Lautner Is 'Close' With 'Breaking Dawn' Love Mackenzie Foy
'She's the cutest little girl, and she's so smart,' he tells MTV News of 10-year-old actress playing Renesmee.

Taylor Lautner is still pining away for Bella in "Breaking Dawn," but she's already made her decision to marry Edward instead of pursuing a life with Jacob.
But don't feel too bad for the werewolf. (Spoiler alert for those unfamiliar with the books!) He finds a new love in his own unique way when he imprints himself on Bella and Edward's infant vampire daughter, Renesmee. Lautner told MTV News during "MTV First: Taylor Lautner" last week that he and pre-teen Mackenzie Foy, who plays Renesmee in "Part 2," have become fast friends, despite the awkward circumstances.
"She's so awesome," he said of the 10-year-old. "She's the cutest little girl, and she's so smart, so on it and so talented. She's great. ... We're close."
The story not only touches on that romance, but also, finally, shows Bella and Edward on their romantic honeymoon (sexy photos of which were leaked earlier this month, much to the dismay of "Twilight" studio Summit Entertainment and Robert Pattinson). Lautner said he had some interesting inspiration when he was playing Jacob thinking about his former flame and rival married.
"It's like the story's always told from Bella, but when they're at the honeymoon, you'll be able to see me thinking about what they're doing on the honeymoon," he said. "Very awkward," he jokingly added.
"When we were filming that scene, I'm like, 'So, [director] Bill Condon, what am I thinking right now?' " he recalled of having on-set discussions about Jacob's story. "He's like, 'Just imagine what's going on in Brazil right now.' "
