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."

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.

Kit Harington Confirms He Filmed New Game of Thrones Scenes, But Only As A Dead Body

We're hardly waiting for it, Game of Thrones. We all know Jon Snow will be back in some shape or form this season, and at this point we're ready for the show to just come back already and stop teasing us. Enough with the cagey interviews, the oh-look-everyone-is-dead promos, and all the other taunting we've had to put up with for the past year. Just give us our beautiful show and let us be shocked in peace! Kit Harington, the portrayer of the dead guy in question, is the one who's confusing us this time. Instead of just saying "you'll have to wait and see," or some other kind of spoiler-free stock answer about future plot points (like he gave last time he was asked), Harington is now just feeding us lies. In an interview with Time Out London that was supposed to be about the West End play he's in, Harington claimed he's done with Game of Thrones. "Look, I'm not in the show anymore. I'm definitely not in the new series,...
