Adele pretty much won all the awards at last night's BRITS, and her reaction was typically humble.

Taking to the stage to accept Best British Female Artist, she said: "To the other nominees, it’s an honour to be standing amongst you. I’d like to thank my management and record label for embracing the fact that I’m a woman and being encouraged by it." She then added: "I'd like to take this moment to publicly support Kesha."

Ke$ha herself took to Instagram last night to express her gratitude at the outpouring of support she's received since her court case involving Dr. Luke and Sony was thrown out last Friday. She captioned the below: "I am beyond words in gratitude. thank you is not enough but it is all I have. a million times over and forever thank you. the support I have received has left my face swollen from tears. I love you all so much. A statement too large for this format is coming...."
