Technical issues might’ve plagued Adele’s Grammy performance last week, but the “Hello” singer avoided any and all snags when she took the stage at the BRIT Awards Wednesday. Adele performed “When We Were Young,” the recent single off her latest album 25, which shot back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart after her Grammy routine.

The singer-songwriter nabbed awards for Best British Female Solo Artist category, Best British Single (“Hello”), and British Album of the Year.

While accepting her award for Best British Female Solo Artist she mentioned Kesha, who was denied a preliminary injunction in her case against Dr. Luke last week. “I’d like to take this moment to publicly support Kesha,” she said.

Prior to Wednesday’s ceremony, Adele last performed at the BRIT Awards in 2011 with a soulful rendition of “Someone Like You.” The following year, the 27-year-old star flipped off the audience when accepting the award for Best Female Artist of the Year.

“I was about to thank the British public for their support and they cut me off, and I’m sorry if I offended anyone,” Adele explained at the time. “But the suits offended me, so thank you very much for all of your support.”

Though her performance of TK went down without any drama, hopefully Adele will still enjoy a post-show burger at the U.K. equivalent of In-n-Out.
