1994. Maybe I fucked up an alredy fucked-up world. But I'm trying to fix it now. And friend, it feels great.

Soon You’ll Get Better.

I needed to make a pause after “Soon You’ll Get Better”. It hits me so hard. My grandma passed away because of cancer a few years ago, it was definitely the hardest time of my life. I wish I could've said something like that to her, I wish she could've got better but doctors gave us no hopes and she passed away so quickly. 

“You like the nicer nurses, you make the best of a bad deal“ broke me in so many ways... My mom is a nurse and my grandma was always proud of her. She’s an amazing nurse, she’s so so kind and care about ppl and grandma always looked at other nurses in the same way she looked at my mom. And even in that moment, my grandma gave us strength to continue.

I really miss her, I miss her every single day and every moment in my life. I wish she could be here with me, I wish I could listen to her voice at least one more time, give her the biggest hug and tell her how much I grow up during these years, tell her about my achieves and maybe make her proud of me, and how much I will always love her. Saddly, I can't. But I feel like in some way, she knows everything and she's still here with me.

This song made me feel nostalgic but also made me remember a lot things about her, so many moments: happiest ones, saddest ones, funniest ones. So I decided that I’ll save this song in my heart from now to forever.

THANK YOU for this song. There’s a lot of ppl who will identify with this song. And thank you to your family to share this with us, it’s not easy, but we know Andrea will get better. 

I love you so much.

I’ve spent the last 10 years of my life defending Taylor and I sure as hell am not about to stop now.

Taylor saying “get a good lawyer” as advice to young artists really slaps right now.

For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums. 

Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years. 

Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo) Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.

This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says ‘Music has value’, he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it. 

When I left my masters in Scott’s hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually he would sell them. Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words ‘Scooter Braun’ escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn’t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever. 

Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scott’s hands and not my future. And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make.

I will always be proud of my past work. But for a healthier option, Lover will be out August 23. 

Sad and grossed out,

💔
