" After Dr. Luke&amp;#039;s Sony-affiliated label, Kemosabe Records, did a last minute U-turn on their decision to forbid Kesha from performing at the Billboard Awards, we knew we were in for an amazing show. And that we were, because the 29-year-old star, who has been famously embroiled in a legal battle with her producer (and alleged abuser) over being freed from\u00A0her record contract, delivered a hugely emotional rendition of a Bob Dylan cover, and we could pretty much watch it on repeat.  Without uttering so much as a word on the situation with Dr. Luke and Sony (she had to guarantee this in order for\u00A0Kemosabe to give permission for her to perform), the sincerity of the\u00A0performance and\u00A0the look on her face said everything.\u00A0      Watch: Kesha performs Bob Dylan cover &amp;#039;It Ain&amp;#039;t Me Babe&amp;#039; at the #BBMAs https://t.co/OKZi44bi0T https://t.co/bwcUnIyBtJ \u2014 Hollywood Reporter (@THR) May 23, 2016    Singing Dylan&amp;#039;s 1964 hit,\u00A0It Ain&amp;#039;t Me Babe, Kesha managed to portray just\u00A0how traumatic these last few months have been, but you could see how glad she was that she was even\u00A0able to get up there on stage\u00A0in the end. The crowds certainly showed her the respect she deserved; giving her a standing ovation, the applause was deafening.
