Lady Gaga lauds Kesha's emotional 'Til It Happens To You' cover

Lady Gaga has praised Kesha's cover of her track 'Til It Happens To You'.

The singer performed the tune at the Humane Society of the United States' Los Angeles Gala on Saturday (May 7).

The song originally featured on the 2015 documentary The Hunting Ground, which explored the issue of sexual assaults at US colleges and universities.

Kesha recently unsuccessfully failed to escape a recording contract with producer Dr Luke, who she says raped her.

Speaking on Twitter after the cover found its way online, Gaga wrote:

"Killed it @KeshaRose. I could feel your pain. Girl these boys won't be in charge forever. The wisdom of women is rising. Let's get louder."

Before the show, Kesha rehearsed the tune with its co-writer Diane Warren.
