After a New York judge disappointingly ruled against Kesha on February 19, 2016, many artists took to various mediums to announce their support of the singer.
Kesha, who spoke out about her producer Dr. Luke’s sexual advances toward her, managed to speak out through celebrities — like Adele — despite losing the legal battle.

Much taller than most people think, Adele decided to use her win to show her support for Kesha at the 2016 BRIT Awards in London.
In an interview with Daily Mail in 2009, she revealed her height to be higher than the average woman.
“I’m 5ft 9in and a 14, 16. You can’t go to America and be s***; you could have an amazing figure and they won’t buy it. I could wear a bin liner and they’d still like me,” the soul sensation said about her height and weight.

Do you believe her actual height without heels is 5ft 9 (175 cm) or did she add a few inches in the interview?
Adele switched between two outfits during the 2016 BRIT Awards, starting off with a ruffled crimson red dress by Giambattista Valli, which she paired with jewelry from David Morris Jeweller.
The stunning red gown featured a cape-like detail and ruffles down the front.

Later on, the singer switched to a shimmering Valentino dress.

The songstress went on stage to accept the British Female Solo Artist award, publicly declaring that she was in support of Kesha right before she stepped off the stage.
“I’d like to take a quick second just to thank my management and my record label for embracing the fact that I’m a woman and being encouraged by it,” the “Hello” singer said while accepting the award for Best British Female Solo Artist. “I’d also like to take this moment to publicly support Kesha.”

“Other entertainers who knowingly put their own careers at stake by supporting me, I will be forever grateful,” Kesha responded on Facebook.
“All I ever wanted was to be able to make music without being afraid, scared, or abused. This case has never been about a renegotiation of my record contract … I would be willing to work with Sony if they do the right thing and break all ties that bind me to my abuser,” the Tik Tok singer added.
