Kesha | 140

We all know that the chart-topping song Tik Tok was written and sung by Kesha Rose Sebert, or popularly known as Ke$ha. However, not everyone knows that she has an IQ score of 140 points. The pop star reportedly attained a near-perfect score on her SATs (she scored 1500 and 1600 is the perfect score) and was accepted to Barnard College. But instead of pursuing her college degree, she decided to follow her dreams and went into the music industry.

The 33-year-old singer isn’t just a great performer. Her talents also include songwriting. Over the years, she has written songs for fellow artists, including Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, Miranda Cosgrove, and Miley Cyrus. Kesha’s music and image prompted her to achieve immediate success. In 2016, she won Billboard’s Women in Music Trailblazer Award. As of 2019, Kesha has reportedly sold over 71 million records in the United States and over 134 million records worldwide.
