It was bad news for Kesha last Friday, February 19, when she entered a courtroom battle with music producer Dr. Luke - a man she says both physically and mentally abused her - asking to be released from her contract with the company which is forcing her to remain within their grasp if she wishes to release music in the future.

A judge in New York ruled that Kesha must remain in her contract after she asked for an injunction which would allow her to release music with a different company or independently.
Kesha broke down in court following the ruling and a spate of high profile stars including Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga took to social media to give their support to the artist.
Now Taylor Swift has added her name to the list of stars behind Kesha, donating $250,000 to the star which will likely go towards her court fees.
Dr Luke's attorney Christine Lepera said on Friday in a statement following the ruling: "We are pleased with the court's decision from the bench fully denying Ms. Sebert's motion for a preliminary injunction.
"As the court recognised, Ms. Sebert has always had the ability to proceed with her career if she so chooses. We remain confident that when all the facts are presented that Ms. Sebert's allegations against Luke will be shown to be completely false and were asserted solely to extort money and gain contractual leverage."
Kesha's mother took to Twitter following Swift's donation, writing:
