On Sunday night, Kesha's mom, Pebe Sebert, shared the good news via Twitter. Just a few days after Kesha's devastating day in court, Taylor Swift has donated $250,000 to her.



"Taylor Swift has just generously donated $250,000. to Kesha, as a show of support during this difficult time. AMAZING!!" she tweeted. "A persons wealth is not measured by what they have but by WHO they they help with it. And Taylor Swift is is a truly RICH PERSON. Thank you🌹"

A rep for Swift also confirmed the news to The Huffington Post on Monday, saying, "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."

Swift is the latest in a long list of stars -- including Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, Darren Hayes and Demi Lovato -- to rally in support of the singer. Lovato, however, didn't seem too impressed with Swift's donation.

After penning a Twitter essay on female empowerment, the "Confident" songstress shared a cryptic tweet many believe was aimed at Swift.

"Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I'll be impressed," Lovato wrote.

Kesha herself has yet to comment on Swift's donation. We have reached out to her rep and will update this post accordingly.

The outpouring of support for Kesha comes after a judge denied her motion to be released from her contract with Sony last Friday.

Kesha has been involved in an ongoing legal battle with her producer, Dr. Luke (born Lukasz Gottwald), since 2014, when she accused him of sexual assault and battery.

Prior to her court date last week, Kesha's contract barred her from making music with any producer other than Gottwald. However, after Friday's ruling, she is now allowed to work with another producer under Sony. The decision came after a judge dismissed her lawyer's claims that the record label was "setting her up to fail" and won't promote her music if she chooses not to work with Gottwald.

Kesha's attorney, Mark Geragos, told The Huffington Post last week that it remains unclear if any new music will be released under another Sony imprint.

Geragos also called Sony’s offer allowing Kesha to work with other producers a "small step," however they wanted "complete separation from Luke."

"We're going to move forward and we're going to get her that," he said. "She doesn't have to be victimized repeatedly by this guy."

Nigerian army Claims the Second Rescue of Chibok Girl

A second schoolgirl that was seized in the Nigerian town of Chibok has been found, the army says. But a spokesman for the Chibok girls' parents has cast doubt on the claims, saying that the girl's name is not on the families' list of those missing. An army spokesman said Serah Luka was among a group of 97 women and children rescued by troops in the north-east. Islamist militant group Boko Haram has abducted thousands of other girls in recent years, rights groups estimate. This comes two days after the rescue of the first Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki. The army has previously given misleading statements about the rescue of the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after Ms Nkeki was found, it used a wrong name. In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. Ms Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but...

Obama administration Issues Transgender Access to School Bathrooms

The issue of directing public schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms matching their gender identity is being discussed by the Obama administration on Friday. A joint letter from the Departments of Education and Justice will go out to schools on Friday with guidelines to ensure that "transgender students enjoy a supportive and nondiscriminatory school environment," the Obama administration said on Thursday. The announcement comes amid heated debate over transgender rights in schools and public life, which includes a legal standoff between the administration and North Carolina over its controversial House Bill 2. The guidance goes beyond the bathroom issue, touching upon privacy rights, education records and sex-segregated athletics, all but guaranteeing transgender students the right to identify in school as they choose. "There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on ...

Will Ferrell and His Bird Collectian As "The Birds are for God"

An acclaimed actor and comedic genius like Will Ferrell is incredibly pleased to spend some valued time with his incredibly expensive bird collection, according to his good friend Adam McKay. McKay, who has directed Ferrell in films like "Anchorman" and "Step Brothers," told HuffPost Live on Monday that Ferrell's home is brimming with birds of all kinds, and Ferrell himself is a bit of a bird whisperer. "He has giant cages on his property filled with different tropical birds, and these are the kind of birds that will bite you, that you have to be careful with, but when it's him, they just fly right to his arm," McKay said. "Often times if you're at his house ... he has, like, a cockatiel on his shoulder for long stretches." An affinity for birds isn't exactly surprising, but what will shock you is the enormous monetary value of Ferrell's flock. "He had to have his bird collection insured, and I think it's wor...
