Looking at Ke$ha ... it's hard to believe that she started out as a country singer in Nashville. The now pop star is gracing the cover of Paper Magazine's Music Issue looking every bit like the sexy wreck we love!

When it comes to having fun with her music, Ke$ha, 23, tells the mag:

    "I'm writing songs about brushing my teeth with Jack Daniels. It doesn't have to be so serious all the time -- especially with pop music. I don't take myself very seriously. I don't think I should or could."


Guess her philosophy on having a sense of humor has paid off. TiK ToK on the clock ... doesn't sound like her 15 minutes are going to be ending anytime soon.
