Kesha Reveals What Kind of Friend Taylor Swift Really Is

Apparently, Taylor always comes to the phone whenever Kesha calls.

Kesha isn’t here for all the Taylor Swift dragging. In fact, she has nothing but kind words for the polarizing singer who gave her a quarter of a million dollars last year.

"[Talyor] is a fucking sweetheart," Kesha said in her recent cover story for Rolling Stone. "Very, very sweet, very, very genuine, extremely generous, picks up the phone every time I call her. My mom doesn't even always pick up the phone!"

In 2016, a judge denied Kesha’s motion to be released from her contract with Dr. Luke, the producer whom she claimed sexually and emotionally abused her. Shortly after the loss, Taylor gave the Rainbow singer $250,000 to go toward her ongoing legal battles against Dr. Luke. Kesha’s mom, Pebe Sebert, expressed her gratitude on Twitter.

Taylor recently won her own legal battle against David Mueller, a Denver-based DJ who sexually assaulted her during a 2013 meet-and-greet. Following the ruling, the singer promised she would use her platform to help other victims of sexual assault.

"I acknowledge the privilege that I benefit from in life, in society, and in my ability to shoulder the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this. My hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard," she said. "Therefore, I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organizations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves."

Unfortunately for Taylor, the win was soon overshadowed by a slew of controversies; however, Kesha insists she knows nothing about the criticism.

"I'm not really up on my pop culture," she said. "Should I know something about it? I live in my record player."
