Taylor Swift Donates $250,000 To Kesha for Her Defeat In Court

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...

Hong Kong Lunar New Year Celebrations Erupt in Violence as Police Clear Food Stalls

Hong Kong's Lunar New Year celebrations have descended into chaos as police leared illegal food stalls set up on a busy junction for Lunar New Year celebrations, leaving dozens injured or arrested. Riot police used batons and pepper spray and fired warning shots into the air early on Tuesday after authorities tried to move illegal street vendors from a district in the city. Protesters hurled bricks at police as scuffles broke out, while other demonstrators set fire to rubbish bins in the streets of Mong Kok, a gritty neighbourhood across the harbour from the heart of the Asian financial centre. A police statement said that three men aged 27 to 35 were arrested for assaulting a police officer and obstructing police, while another three police officers received hospital treatment. Broadcaster RTHK said later that 24 people had been arrested. The scuffles broke out after police moved in to clear "hawkers", or illegal vendors who sell local delicacies, trinkets and ...

Ted Cruz Loses Over Three Consecutive Trump Victories

Real estate mogul Donald Trump received victory over top rivals Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) in Tuesday's Nevada GOP caucus, setting up a particularly difficult road ahead for Cruz. Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) speaks during a campaign event in Las Vegas on Monday. (JOSH EDELSON via Getty Images on Monday)   Trump has now won three straight state contests and appears to be barreling toward the Republican presidential nomination, while Cruz has only won one state, Iowa. Cruz's campaign had hoped to eke out a win in Nevada based on the strength of his political organization and ground game, which helped lead him to a similar victory in the Iowa caucus earlier this month. The caucus format relies on turning out voters who are engaged enough to spend several hours participating in the political process. By contrast, Trump has lagged behind Cruz and Rubio in his organizing efforts, and political observers expre...
