" A-listers including Lady Gaga and Lorde have spoken out in support of Kesha during her court case to get out of a contract with producer Dr. Luke, who she accuses of raping her. But now Taylor Swift has seriously stepped up, giving Kesha a massive $250,000 (\u00A3175,000) to help her continue to fund her legal battle.   A spokesperson for Taylor said: &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot; This case began way back in October 2014 when Kesha\u00A0filed a lawsuit against Dr Luke, accusing him of drugging and raping her a decade ago.\u00A0  But last week the pop star\u00A0was denied an exit from her recording contract with him by the New York Supreme Court. Sad times.\u00A0  Since the ruling was made, #FreeKesha has been trending on Twitter and loads of female musicians in the world have shown their support.  Lady Gaga tweeted:      There are people all over the world who love you @KeshaRose. And I can say truly I am in awe of your bravery. \u2014 JOANNE (@ladygaga) February 19, 2016    While Lorde (she&amp;#039;s been a bit\u00A0quiet recently, hasn&amp;#039;t she?) wrote\u00A0&amp;quot;standing with @KeshaRose through this traumatic, deeply unfair time. send good vibes her way everyone.&amp;quot; But Taylor&amp;#039;s huge donation hasn&amp;#039;t gone down well with everyone. The Bad Blood singer was attacked by\u00A0Demi Lovato who\u00A0suggested\u00A0the donation was only to &amp;quot;further her brand&amp;quot;, and told Taylor she should take action rather than give cash.      Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I&amp;#039;ll be impressed. \u2014 Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) February 22, 2016    Demi said was sick of female singers using feminism to further themselves\u00A0&amp;quot;without actually being the ones to have uncomfortable conversations&amp;quot;, adding:\u00A0&amp;quot;there&amp;#039;s no &amp;#039;rivalry&amp;#039; I just give more f***s than other people and would rather start a dialogue about women coming forward about being raped than throw money at one.&amp;quot; You really can&amp;#039;t please everyone, can you?\u00A0  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
