Kesha Reveals Special Meaning Behind Grammys Red Carpet Look

But being the sole owner of her music isn't the only thing the "TiK ToK" singer is celebrating these days: She also just helped honor Mariah Carey at the MusiCares gala on Jan. 30.

"Mariah Carey is such an icon, we can all agree on that," Kesha said. "And she has been through like some things in the music business, and has dealt with it so gracefully, and is a huge inspiration to me as a woman in music." 

So, "to be able to be there and sing for her was, of course, intimidating," she added, "because she was one of the best voices in the entire planet, yes, but I just wanted to show my love for her in the way that I could."

But the icing on top? "And then she followed me on Instagram," Kesha revealed. "Which is like, huge."

Plus, Kesha's song "Dear Me," written for Diane Warren's documentary Diane Warren: Relentless, earned a Best Original Song nomination at the Oscars. 

"Diane is one of the most iconic songwriters in the world, and she asked me to sing a song for her documentary that she wrote about herself," Kesha explained, "and the song really spoke to me. It's about writing a note to yourself when you were younger, going through hard times and telling yourself like, 'One day it's gonna be okay.'"

Something that feels "really appropriate" for Kesha, now, to be "a free woman at the Grammys talking" about that song. 

"I wish I could write a note to my younger self," she added, "and I'd say, It's gonna be okay.'"
