"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," a representative for Swift wrote in a statement,according to Rolling Stone.
    Several notable musical names have lined up behind Kesha in the ongoing dispute, including Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson and Janelle Monae.
    "There are people all over the world who love you @KeshaRose. And I can say truly I am in awe of your bravery," Lady Gaga said in a tweet that's been retweeted almost 90,000 times.

    Kesha, whose full name is Kesha Rose Sebert, alleged in a suit filed in Los Angeles in 2014 that Dr. Luke, a powerful figure in pop music whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, convinced her to move away from her family in Nashville at 18 to pursue a glamorous career as a pop star in 2005.
    "For the past 10 years, Dr. Luke has sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused" Kesha "to the point where Ms. Sebert nearly lost her life,"the suit said.
    The civil lawsuit claims that Dr. Luke told Kesha that if she revealed the abusive incidents, he would destroy her and her family's lives.
    Dr. Luke insists that the abuse never happened and that Kesha was persuaded by new management to break their exclusive contract by threatening to ruin his reputation.
