I’m ecstatic to tell you that I’ll be headlining Glastonbury on its 50th anniversary - See you there! 💋
the two horsemen of the apocalypse
Texting this to him rn thanks
People are missing the point behind the line
“I ask the traffic lights if it’ll be alright they said “I don’t know”
When you’re so low and upset with something in your life, you’ll look to anything for reassurance. I believe this is what Taylor was doing here and I love it so so much.
YES! Like how when you’re struggling through something time slows down and everything is a sign and you’ll take advice from a tree because you’re just GOIN THROUGH IT MAN.
But I kinda love all the interpretations of what that line means, even the memes.
Correction: ESPECIALLY the memes.
#Lover @taylorswift
They say home is where your heart is but ours is yours, @taylorswift ❤️💞🌸
We decided to listen together and stream #Lover after I get off at work and go home. @aljsanchez patiently waited for me while it took me hours to get home! He’s the best (also he’s the best listening buddy, guys - I tell you)
Didn’t I also not say we are from different countries? Dubai - Philippines! No matter where we are in the world, we’ll make it happen ❤️💞
Pre-Ordered Lover in Amazon and Target - ✅
Purchased Lover in Itunes - ✅

Yours truly, from the other side of the world - doing my best as a Swiftie 💞🥰

me singing the lyrics to lover even tho i don’t know what the melody sounds like
Literally I am a slut for clever lyricism and that is going to be everywhere on this album.
Taylor is such a smart businesswoman and has proven time and time again that she knows her worth and what direction her career should go in. To believe people, that she just walked away from all the work she’s ever made without blinking is to not know how much she values all of those life lessons, times in the studio, tours, etc. her music is so much more than money. It’s her truth and that’s priceless. She deserved the option to own them.
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,
