Kesha Pays Tribute to Her Late ‘Blow’ Video Co-Star James Van Der Beek

Back in 2011, the Dawson's Creek star turned his teen-drama image upside down in Kesha's cheeky music video.

After news of James Van Der Beek’s death at age 48, Kesha is looking back fondly on her time with the Dawson’s Creek actor, when the pair co-starred in her “Blow” music video.

On Wednesday (Feb. 11), Kesha took to her Instagram Stories to share two photos with the actor — one in which Van Der Beek is pointing at the pop star and one of the pair embracing — and simply adding red heart emojis over each pic. The photos were taken on a Las Vegas red carpet in May 2011, three months after the debut of their “Blow” music video.
