Kesha, star chorus' powerful #TimesUp moment at Grammys

Kesha 'proud and nervous' to perform at the Grammy Awards

Kesha 'proud and nervous' to perform at the Grammy Awards

In her introduction to a performance by Kesha - who had a high-profile court case involving sexual assault at the hands of her producer and was performing a song about the ordeal, called Praying - Monae sounded a call for an end to discrimination.

Kesha's stirring Grammys performance came with an important message: #MeToo.

Lauper, Cabello, Day and Michaels were part of a larger chorus of singers - who all wore white along with Kesha.

"Tonight, I am proud to stand in solidarity as not just an artist, but a young woman with my fellow sisters in this room who make up the music industry", said Monae.

Dr. Luke, real name Lukasz Gottwald, has denied the allegations.

The fifth signatory was Essam Heggy, a NASA space scientist who worked as an adviser to former interim president Adly Mansour. They said three men armed with knives tried to force him into one of their two cars when passers-by rushed to his rescue.

A NY judge rejected the singer's request to be released from her Sony deal, but ruled that she could work with a different Sony producer for the five more albums for which she's under contract.

Pop star Kesha brough the 2018 Grammys to tears with her emotionally charged performance on Sunday night.

Joined onstage by Cyndi Lauper, Camila Cabello, Julia Michaels, Andra Day and Bebe Rexha, a visibly emotional Kesha sang the lead single off her comeback album Rainbow.

"When i wrote praying, with ben abraham and ryan lewis, i just felt as if i had gotten a huge weight off of my shoulders", she wrote alongside a picture of Madison Square Garden. "I never could have known what would've happened these past few years".
