Taylor we are all SO proud of you for this album, this era and what’s to come. Release day wouldn’t be the same without us posting pictures with the albums, so I gathered a bunch of people together to create this collage! We love you so much and are so excited to see what else this era brings! 💘

@taylorswift I’m so excited for Lover and I’m getting married on Wednesday 28th August 💗💗

It makes me sick to my stomach to think that she’s had to hold all of this back for so many years and pretend like that piece of trash gave her so much when all he did was trap her in a web of manipulation and lies

[taylorswift]

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,

💔

Taylor

I’m really sorry Taylor! Nobody should own those masters but you. 

How can we help?

Should we only listen to your past albums on our CD’s and past downloads and refrain from streaming? 

Just say the word and you know we’re on it!

[all-too-swiftie13]

@taylorswift my heart is broken for you 💔💔

[catastrophicblues]

i promise that you’ll never find another like me!

“no one gets to have a place in your mind if they weren’t invited there by you. so please do me this one favor: don’t let their ugly words into your beautiful mind.”

her mockery of “receipts” is one of my favorite things…

[all-too-swiftie13]

I had this dream last night, that I was invited to a cinema that @taylorswift had rented out so swifties could go watch the making of the song videos and her music videos. Then she picked people to ask her questions, so I put my hand up to ask her one and then she pointed at me and said yes. Then I went to ask her a question and she was like nope sorry next person. Then she started picking people to hug and so she picked me to go give her a hug, but when I got there she was like nope sorry. Somehow I just feel like that perfectly represents how I’m never going to meet her.

Thank you Edward Enninful, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for your passion, spirit, and contagious laughter on set. Mert and Marcus took these photos for British Vogue and my album photos for reputation, and it’s been such a bonding experience working together so closely and talking so much about what we wanted to make. It’s been a while since I’ve done a magazine cover. I’m really happy my first one back was with such wonderful people.

[all-too-swiftie13]

Love love love this 💓💗
