And who better to embrace the iconic stars and stripes, than the girl that, in the words of Britney Spears, "brings an incredibly carefree, fun-loving spirit to American pop music".

In her interview with the magazine, Ke$ha opens up about her image and coping with fame. "I do feel like there are the pop stars of the world and then I'm like their dirty little sister, running around with shit on my face in combat boots because I can't walk in heels".
As for being famous, she says, "When paparazzi showed up at my house, it was really mind-boggling. I've found ways to do exactly what I want, but in the privacy of my own sanctuaries".

And what's in store for the pop princess in the future? "I would love to have Keith Richards on the record. I would sure as hell like to do a collaboration with Bieber and at the same time do a song with the Flaming Lips".
Beiber and Ke$ha? That's a collaboration we'd like to see.
