Taylor Swift attends the 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted By Graydon Carter at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on February 28, 2016 in Beverly Hills, California.Anthony Harvey—Getty Images by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Aug 14, 2017 5:17 PM UTC Taylor Swift is still in court testifying against the Denver DJ she claims groped her in 2013, and her friends are continuing their support for the pop singer. After [Lena Dunham tweeted](http://time.com/4896978/lena-dunham-praises-taylor-swift-testimony/) that Swift was setting a powerful example for other women, Kesha tweeted out her support for the singer, too. “I support you always, and especially right now and admire your strength and fearlessness,” Kesha tweeted, adding. “Truth is always the answer.” > [](https://twitter.com/KeshaRose/status/897086310086836226) Kesha undoubtedly knows how difficult court battles can be as she has been engaged in her own legal fight. Last year, [Swift donated $250,000](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/taylor-swift-donates-250-000-to-kesha-after-court-ruling-20160222) to Kesha in the middle of her own trial against Sony and Dr. Luke, when a court ruling denied the “Tik Tok” singer the ability to record new music outside her recording contract with Sony. While David Mueller’s lawsuit against Swift [has been thrown out](http://time.com/4898020/taylor-swift-groping-trial-david-mueller-lawsuit/) by a judge, who said the pop star could not be held liable for Mueller’s firing, Swift’s countersuit against the DJ will be considered by a jury. Swift is seeking a symbolic $1 as well as the chance to speak out against the alleged groping. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4899481/kesha-on-taylor-swift-trial/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4899481/kesha-on-taylor-swift-trial/"},"headline":"'Truth is Always the Answer.'
