When Kesha’s legal battle with Dr. Luke first made headlines in February 2016, Taylor Swift announced through her spokeswoman that she would donate $250,000 to the singer “to help with any of her financial needs during this trying time.” This week, Kesha cheered Ms. Swift on Twitter as Ms. Swift won her own victory in court — a jury in Denver found that a radio host had groped her during a photo opportunity, awarding her the $1 in compensation she had requested.

On this week’s Popcast, Mr. Caramanica discusses Kesha’s music and her ongoing legal situation, as well as the conclusion of Ms. Swift’s trial, with Caryn Ganz, The New York Times’s pop music editor, who recently reviewed Kesha’s new album; and Joe Coscarelli, the New York Times’s pop music reporter, who has been closely following Kesha’s contractual battles.
