The news came after Demi Lovato tweeted her support for Kesha, while hinting at Taylor Swift for not publicly showing support for the artist.

I'm also ready for self-proclaimed feminists to start speaking out or taking action for women's rights.

But Demi was hardly impressed. After news broke about Swift's donation, the Confident singer took to Twitter again to criticise the award-winning singer.

Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I'll be impressed.

While Swift hasn't commented on the matter, her fans took to Twitter and shot back at Demi for attacking Swift.
