Taylor Swift has joined many celebrities showing incredible support for Kesha by donating $250,000 - although not everyone appears to be happy about it.
On Friday, a judge denied Kesha an injunction which would allow her to release music outside of her contract with Sony and Dr Luke.

Kesha originally filed a lawsuit against producer Dr Luke, real name Lukasz Gottwald, in 2014, claiming he drugged her and ‘sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally’ abused her.
Despite this, a judge has denied Kesha’s pleas to let her record music without him, leaving the singer in tears in the courtroom.
BuzzFeed reports that Sony have said she can record with another producer, but her attorney, Mark Geragos, says the promise cannot be trusted because the label are ‘setting her up for failure’.
While many celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande and Kelly Clarkson, have tweeted their support for Kesha (#FreeKesha), Taylor Swift has been criticised for not saying anything.

Now though, it’s been revealed that she’s actually shown her support in a different way, donating $250,000 to help Kesha with any ‘financial needs’.
Taylor’s spokesperson told E! News: “In a show of support, Taylor Swift has donated $250,000 to Kesha to help with any of her financial needs during this trying time.”
Kesha’s mum has also tweeted to show her gratitude for the donation:

However, Demi Lovato, who has already tweeted her support for Kesha and shared some powerful thoughts about female empowerment, isn’t quite so impressed with Taylor’s donation.
Demi initially tweeted: “Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I’ll be impressed”, prompting a big response from Taylor’s fans.
