Some of the biggest names in the music business are declaring their support for Kesha during the pop star’s ongoing legal dispute with her record label. 

The likes of Lady Gaga, Lorde, and Ariana Grande have expressed sympathy for Kesha on social media. 

Now, a day after a judge turned down Kesha’s request to break her contract with Sony and record music with another studio, Taylor Swift became her biggest booster yet, cutting a check for Kesha to the tune of $250,000. 

“The goal of Kesha’s counsel throughout has been to obtain a more lucrative contract through a shameless campaign of outrageous claims they will never stand behind in a court of law.”

Lepera said that Kesha is already “free” to work with other music producers aside from Dr. Luke.
