Hi Taylor! I didn’t realize until now that all three of these pics have something to do with New Year’s Day (the song), so I thought I would start the post off with a lyric from it. :)

First pic: NYD connection - polaroids. That’s just a pic of me - my name’s Haley. Nothing fancy, just thought I’d show you what I look like. 😇

Second pic: NYD connection - the lyrics. A little over a year ago, I got this line from the song tattooed in your handwriting. It hurt horribly, but it was so worth it.

Last pic: NYD connection - literal New Year’s. 😂 This is me, my sister and my mom on New Year’s Eve 2016 going into 2017. We were at a stand up comedy show in Chicago. That trip (we live in Nebraska) is one of the last happy memories I have of my mom, so I kind of cling to it often. And it reminds me of the song, so that’s a bonus.

My mom was my best friend. She was diagnosed with cancer in fall 2015 and passed away in summer 2017. The exact date was August 10. My absolute favorite song of yours is This Love. You may not remember, but exactly one year later on August 10, 2018, you sang that song as the surprise song at your Reputation tour stop in Atlanta. I literally could not believe it.

My Rep tour date was a month later. I had written a really long letter to you and posted it on here. Kind of like I’m doing now, I suppose. In the letter, I mentioned a few times how you always seem to show up for me exactly when I need you. And there you were, singing my all time favorite song of yours on the one year anniversary of the worst day of my life. I couldn’t believe it.

I took that as a sign that I would meet you at my show. I didn’t. But I still had the time of my life with all of my Swiftie friends. Your music and the friends I’ve made through you have gotten me through some of the worst times in my life.

I just wanted to write this note to you to let you know how excited I am for this new era. I can’t wait to hear the new songs and dance with you on tour again. It would mean the world to me to get to hug you and thank you for all you’ve done for me. I’ve loved you since I was 12 and I love you just as much at 25. Even if it never happens for me, I hope you at least see this and know how much I love you. Thank you for it all, Taylor Alison. 💜

what it’s about

  • the sale of Taylor Swift’s masters by scott borchetta as part* of the Big Machine Records catalogue
  • The fact that TS was not offered the chance to buy her masters on their own, and the only chance at ownership was in a lopsided deal where she’d be indefinitely tied to BMR
  • The buyer, Scott Braun**, who was involved in two strategic hits against Taylor in 2016
  • Kim Kardashian’s partial video of a phone call between Kanye West and TS 
  • Kanye West’s “Famous” music video, featuring a naked wax figure of Taylor’s likeness
  • *arguably the most valuable part of the catalogue, sold at 300M
  • **Known as “Scooter” but he is a grown ass man and I refuse to call him that

what it’s not about

  • justin bieber’s mental health
  • justin bieber cheating on selena gomez
  • justin bieber’s wife
  • scott braun’s wife and children
  • scott braun’s abilities as a manager to ariana grande
  • scott braun’s abilities as a former manager to carly rae jepsen
  • scott braun’s involvement in blocking K-Pop groups such as BTS from American charts
  • todrick hall and demi lovatos’ different experiences with homophobia
  • (i cannot believe i have to say this) the Parkland shooting and the Manchester bombing

what you can do

  • do not get distracted by any of the above
  • do Not buy or stream Taylor Swift’s catalogue up to reputation
  • add the CDs to your library and the music will synch with your phone!
  • pre-order Lover on iTunes and other music platforms
  • read any and all articles published on this matter, stay informed and give news outlets clicks on the discussion of ownership of artwork, not on “celebrity beef”
  • stay hydrated
