\n\tAfter news of James Van Der Beek\u2019s death<\/a> at age 48, Kesha<\/a> is looking back fondly on her time with the Dawson\u2019s Creek<\/em> actor, when the pair co-starred in her \u201cBlow\u201d music video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Wednesday (Feb. 11), Kesha took to her Instagram Stories<\/a> to share two photos with the actor \u2014 one in which Van Der Beek is pointing at the pop star and one of the pair embracing \u2014 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 \u201cBlow\u201d music video.<\/p>\n

\n\tBack in 2011, Kesha enlisted Van Der Beek to play opposite her in the cheeky music video for the Cannibal<\/em> single. The fantastical visual \u2014 which featured Kesha making out with unicorns and exchanging rainbow-laser gunshots with her co-star \u2014 turned the actor\u2019s teen-drama image upside down and showed off his previously hidden sense of humor.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWell, well, well. If it isn\u2019t James Van Der Douche,\u201d Kesha quips during a dialogue break in the video. \u201cI don\u2019t appreciate you slander-Beeking my name, Ke-dollar-sign-ha,\u201d Van Der Beek responds, poking fun at the previous stylization of Ke$ha\u2019s stage name. The video ends with Van Der Beek\u2019s head mounted on Kesha\u2019s wall as she laughs with her unicorn-headed friends.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBlow\u201d was a top 10 Billboard Hot 100<\/a> hit for Kesha, peaking at No. 7 in 2011.<\/p>\n
