Pop superstar Kesha is letting all the eligible bachelors in Los Angeles know that she's single and ready to mingle.
On Wednesday, the two-time Grammy nominee, 37, was seen carrying a cardboard sign that read: 'I'M SINGLE' as she rans errands in West Hollywood.
She proudly held it up over her head for nearby photographers before getting into her parked car.
The TiK ToK hitmaker — who released a new single earlier this month — was dressed in a bubblegum pink sports bra and shorts set that showed off her abs.
She styled it with a hot pink satin Western shirt and white New Balance sneakers.

The blonde beauty left her hair down and shielded her eyes with white sunglasses.
She carried her essentials in a Louis Vuitton fanny pack.
Last October, Kesha revealed that she'd been 'dumped' by a mystery boyfriend for the 'first time.'
She made the admission on X (formerly Twitter), writing: 'I just got dumped for the first time… in my LIFE… Can you believe it? We're all f****'
Though she did not reveal the boyfriend's identity, the tweet came months after she was photographed kissing film producer Riccardo Maddalosso.
Before Riccardo, Kesha dated Brad Ashenfelter from 2014 until 2021.
Kesha previously described Brad as 'a really sweet human' who was the inspiration behind her 2017 hits 'Boots' and 'Finding You.'
He was with her for much of her decade-long legal battle with Katy Perry's music producer Dr. Luke, which was settled last year.
Kesha revealed to Rolling Stone in April 2023 that she was once secretly engaged to an ex-boyfriend — with many fans speculating the ex was Brad.
Kesha did not disclose the ex's identity or when the engagement took place.

She did say that the ex-boyfriend who popped the question is 'still a friend.'
The experience inspired her song Too Far Gone off her fifth studio album Gag Order (2023).
In it, Kesha sings: 'Nothing's set in stone / Not even the diamond wrapped around my finger / We're only gettin' older / And holdin' onto hope, it only makes it lonelier'
Speaking to Cosmopolitan after getting dumped last year, Kesha dished that she is steering clear of the celebrity dating app Raya.
'Hinge and Bumble seem on par, like there might be, like, some billionaires lurking in the shadows,' she told the outlet.
'But you have to kind of, like, weed through. Everybody's on Raya... I don't know. I don't f*** with Raya,' she said.
As for what she wants from her next relationship, Kesha joked that she's on the hunt for a 'sugar daddy.'
'I mostly want a sugar daddy. I just never had one. It sounds really fun,' she said. 'I know it's like anti-feminist of me, but I want one, so DM me.'
Kesha has been busy promoting her new single Joyride — the first offering from her own Kesha Records after the she left her previous label Kemosabe in December.
She unveiled the track on July 4 and she expressed to Forbes this week that she's filled with 'gratitude' over the positive feedback she's received.

'Like the most gratitude, happiness - I feel free for the first time since I was 18 years old and I so appreciate every single person that has streamed it, and I love the videos that are being made,' she told the outlet Thursday.
'I've spent almost 10 years in litigation and millions of dollars in legal fees. This joy has been hard-fought for me, so I love that people are ready to Joyride with me.'
Back in October 2014, Kesha filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke (born Łukasz Sebastian Gottwald), 50, that included numerous allegations including sexual harassment, sex-based hate crime and employment discrimination.
The singer and producer fired several other lawsuits back and forth until they finally came to a settlement in June 2023.
The Praying singer told Forbes that she has always found songwriting helpful when it comes to working through her emotions and 'processing life.'
She shared: 'I started writing songs to deal with my emotions. I'm a highly sensitive person - I'm a triple Pisces, so these emotions come up very intensely and people can do a lot of things with them.
'If you feel rage, people can people go bash a window of a car, but for me, if I feel rage, I take it to the studio and I currently surround myself with incredibly safe people that help me take my emotion and we alchemize it into song.
'So, it's become the way I process life and the beautiful part of writing music or making any art of any kind is that you get to process something in, hopefully, a safe way,' she added.
And Kesha loves that what she has created as an artist can go on to help others.

She gushed: 'Once it has come out of your body and onto the page or into the microphone, if you choose to share it, that healing that you experience, then can possibly help to heal other people.
'The reason music relates globally is because we're all just talking about our emotions and it humanizes all of us. You see yourself in a song,' she continued.
Kesha added of the impact of music: 'You see an emotion that you have in a song - it's relational, it's connective - and it's for me, very spiritual because I believe we're all one and music is one of the most beautiful ways to feel that.
'We're all connecting to the same human emotion because we really are all connected,' she finished.
During a recent Ted Talk, Kesha expressed that she's 'really excited' for the future of Kesha Records.
'I’m really excited for Kesha Records to expand and grow in all the ways that people would think, but also in unexpected ways because I’m currently looking into the tech space and I’m looking to find partners who have the values that I align with,' she teased.
'So, in addition to the traditional record label model, I’m also looking to the future and I’m looking for some really creative, boundary-pushing, innovative tech creators that want to change how the music business works and bring a new level of transparency to the whole business. So, I’m in a really exciting space right now.'
