== Inteligence ==

In an interview with Scott Simon on NPR's Saturday Edition (January 16, 2010), Kesha reported her SAT score at 1599 (out of 1600), that she was a serious student with many advanced placement classes, having a love of physics, math and history. Seems that much of Kesha's success and precociousness may be a function of a very high native intelligence coupled with focussed hard work and a mother who spent time after school with Kesha doing such things as writing song lyrics (which both are well known for). <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 17:04, 16 January 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I rewrote the early life section to include the information from the NPR piece while removing the minor bit about Nicole Richie. Maybe it can be considered for inclusion?
