VIDEO : Taylor Swift Helps Kesha in the Contract Battle With Dr. Luke

NEW YORK -- Taylor Swift is giving some financial assistance to fellow pop star Kesha as she battles to get out of a contract with Dr. Luke, whom she has accused of drugging, sexually assaulting and psychologically tormenting her. A representative for Swift confirmed on Sunday night that Swift had donated $250,000 to the platinum-selling Kesha in what she called a "show of support" to help her in her legal battle with Dr. Luke, the megahit producer. On Friday, Kesha sobbed in court as a judge denied her bid to get out of her contract with Dr. Luke, who has worked with artists ranging from Britney Spears to Katy Perry to Nicki Minaj.
