Taylor in her truest form.

Don’t know what else to do

Guys - It’s been announced recently that the American Music Awards will be honoring me with the Artist of the Decade Award at this year’s ceremony. I’ve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I’m allowed to next year. Additionally - and this isn’t the way I had planned on telling you this news - Netflix has created a documentary about my life for the past few years. Scott and Scooter have declined the use of my older music or performance footage for this project, even though there is no mention of either of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film.

Scott Borchetta told my team that they’ll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs next year (which is something I’m both legally allowed to do and looking forward to) and also told my team that I need to stop talking about him and Scooter Braun.

I feel very strongly that sharing what is happening to me could change the awareness level for other artists and potentially help them avoid a similar fate. The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you’ll be punished.

This is WRONG. Neither of these men had a hand in the writing of those songs. They did nothing to create the relationship I have with my fans. So this is where I’m asking for your help.

Please let Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun know how you feel about this. Scooter also manages several artists who I really believe care about other artists and their work. Please ask them for help with this - I’m hoping that maybe they can talk some sense into the men who are exercising tyrannical control over someone who just wants to play the music she wrote. I’m especially asking for help from The Carlyle Group, who put up money for the sale of my music to these two men.

I just want to be able to perform MY OWN music. That’s it. I’ve tried to work this out privately through my team but have not been able to resolve anything. Right now my performance at the AMA’s, the Netflix documentary and any other recorded events I am planning to play until November of 2020 are a question mark.

I love you guys and I thought you should know what’s been going on.

Taylor

is ed sheeran gonna bother to be a good man and speak up for taylor or do we really have to reconcile with the fact that he's collaborating with justin and not taking a stance on something major affecting the woman he owes his american success to or

I disagree on the post floating around saying to let the final piece of the kimye feud, die. No don’t let it die just yet. It’s just now coming out that kanye lied and Taylor was right and you’re giving a reason for people continue to bash Taylor off false information because you basically want to quiet the news that she was right. No thanks. I want that shit on every headline about what a liar Kimye is.

teacher: cite your sources in this essay

ED AND TAYLOR SINGING A  BRITNEY SPEARS SONG (THIS IS SO INVASIVE BUT IT HAD TO BE POSTED)

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.

taylor swift’s rhode island house is on both a public beach and a public street meaning all those people filming are technically allowed to be there??? They aren’t climbing the fence??? They aren’t digging a tunnel into her living room??? taylor is having an extremely loud party in a location where she knows there are a lot of other people???? and you best believe if i happened to be in there i’d be taking snapchats up the WAZOO especially when taylor fucking swift and Ed fucking sheeran have the nerve to belt out karaoke over enormous speakers. so could you please get down off of your extremely high horse and stop pretending you wouldn’t do the same! thx bbs!
