i am pleasantly surprised by the comments here so lets talk about something nice like how great kesha is and also how taylor’s necklace looks like a beautiful cat collar and i love it.

I know it’s deeply uncool to like Taylor Swift here, but this isn’t even the first time she’s donated money directly to folks; she donated 50k to the nephew of a backup dancer who was diagnosed with cancer. She also donated another $50,000 to a fan battling leukemia. Whether you want to cynically brand this as a PR…

It’s not pro DV. It’s about a woman who has been in abusive relationships and how it has negatively affected her and is causing strains on their current relationship because she doesn’t trust him and it causes her to lash out at him. It’s about the anger that people can carry with them. It’s not encouraging the…

I totally agree. I remembered the song lyrics because I remember looking them up because I thought the song was all sorts of wrong.

“The move, of course, is so quintessentially Taylor Swift. On the one hand she appears to have made the grandest gesture of all her peers—$250,000 rather than 140 characters—and on the other, by not commenting personally, she maintains the neutrality a corporate darling requires.”

THAT’S WHAT THIS IS FROM. I have always wondered where everyone got “boo-urns”. Not enough to google it, apparently, but still. I’m finally in on it, I understand!!

First two words of the song: “She said”. It’s supposed to be about a woman saying “I want to push you” around etc

I like Beyoncé as well, but I couldn’t help but notice the double standard here.

That $250,000 is sure as hell going to do a lot more for Kesha than 140 characters.

Cool. Now can we stop debating whether we’re suppsed to be tearing down Taylor Swift for not being feminist enough or Demi Lovato for being all up in this conversation for some reason, and go back to focusing on building up Kesha and tearing down Dr. Luke, the dude who did the assaulting and who we have paid very…

This story will only be complete when we find out one of her old clients disguised themselves and pulled a long-con as a bookkeeper to get their revenge.

I find it pretty gross that a story about Dr. Luke’s long term abuse of Kesha has turned into yet another attack on the women who don’t do enough. Let’s consider what might happen if we all used that energy to shame Dr. Luke instead.

Seriously. So embarrassing. Why does she have to drag this (and him) out in public? Sometimes I think she’s emotionally stunted, like never grew out of her teenage years.

Yeah, there are some people who have mouth agape as their default facial setting. See Kanye, Kristin Stewart, Jon Heder. It’s an unfortunate look because it makes the owner look mentally challenged, or like a fish on a slab. Like resting bitch face. It’s resting fish face.

Ok, so let me get this straight. Demi is bumping her gums on social media, and Taylor Swift quietly donated a quarter of a million dollars to Kesha. Who’s ‘really doing something’ here, again? “Well, I voiced support on social media!” Whoop dee doo. Talk is cheap. Talk is *free*. How about STFU and get up out of your…

It wouldn’t be Jezebel if news of Taylor Swift doing something good wasn’t negated by shitty commentary by someone else.

Well it’s a good thing this isn’t about Demi.

Hm, Beyoncé the Feminist didn’t donate anything and didn’t say anything about Kesha - yet no one even mentions her. Weird.

Doesn’t publicly donating $250,000 to a cause actually count as “speaking out” about something?

Please report this correctly - the judge did not allow a *preliminary* injunction. Rather, the case will be heard before there is any ruling on the contract.
