Taylor Swift: Singer Donates $250K to Kesha in Support of Recent Legal Battle

In the wake of a New York court’s decision to uphold Kesha‘s record contract with Dr. Luke and Sony, Taylor Swift has donated $250,000 to the singer, Billboard reports.

On Friday, a New York judge denied Kesha a court injunction that would have allowed her to record music outside her record label. The 28-year-old star has been unable to make any new music for two years now because she refuses to work with her producer, Dr Luke, who she claims sexually assaulted her.

Kesha filed a lawsuit against Dr Luke in October 2014, saying that he has been abusive towards her since she signed with him at the age of 18. He has denied the allegations.

New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich sided with Dr. Luke and Sony at Kesha’s hearing, telling the singer’s legal team, “You’re asking the court to decimate a contract that was heavily negotiated and typical for the industry.”

Mark Geragos, Kesha’s lawyer, argued in favour of an injunction because the career of a pop star is often brief, and Kesha’s career could be “irreparably harmed” if she did not return to recording music.

“There has been no showing of irreparable harm. She’s being given opportunity to record,” Judge Kornreich said in denying the injunction.
