A Full Rundown of the Ongoing Legal Drama Between Kesha, Sony, and Dr. Luke

In Fall 2015, fans of the singer began to really take notice of her struggles. In September, the #FreedomForKesha hashtag went viral, trending on Twitter and popping up in scores of new articles. There was even a petition to release the singer from her record contract.

On the day before her Feb. 19 proceedings in court, Kesha took to Twitter with a grateful, inspired, and optimistic message:

thank you for all the support in my legal case animals. i love all of you. it's meant the world to me. xoxo pic.twitter.com/arHNPSxFs8
