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

[ankitaswift13]

I wish you would come back and remember what we were fighting for😥😣

[ankitaswift13]

Knowing that I won't be invited in the TS7 secret sessions

@taylorswift

[ankitaswift13]

Hahaha

I still have a faint hope of getting invited in the TS7 secret sessions 😂

@taylorswift

[ankitaswift13]

@taylorswift I love you and I know you know it😁❤️

[imnotsomefloozy]

taylorswift we need a recipe for these please! 🍪🍪🍪

[taylorswift]

MMMKAY— there are two ways you can go about this. The quick and easy way is to make sugar cookies from a sugar cookie mix and just cut open a packet of chai tea and pour it into the batter as you make it. Cause you’re busy and you want making cookies to be a chill part of your day. Pow. Done.

OR

If you want to make the cookies from scratch (that’s what I did for the 1989 Secret Sessions), you can use this recipe I found on a baking blog I like, joythebaker.com and I believe it was originally from a book called The Pastry Queen. If you want another great baking blog, I get a lot of great ideas from smittenkitchen.com too. This is a recipe for basic insanely good sugar cookies. I added the chai element to the recipe because I thought it would infuse cozy holiday vibez into the cookie and it really did. So I’ll star the part that I added in the recipe.

http://joythebaker.com/2009/06/giant-vanilla-sugar-cookies/

***after you add the egg and vanilla, cut one chai tea packet open and empty the crushed up tea leaves into the batter CAUSE CHAI COOKIES ARE ABOUT TO HAPPEN UP IN HERE***

I made an icing for the cookies, but they’re fine on their own. If you want to make icing for them, just mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 1/4 T-spoon of nutmeg, 1/4 T-spoon of cinnamon and 3 TAYblespoons <—-(I’m so annoying, it astounds me sometimes) of milk or eggnog if you can find it this time of year. The more milk/eggnog you add, the more your icing will become a glaze. But glazes are legit too so basically just LIVE YOUR LIFE.

I lightly sprinkled cinnamon over the icing once the cookies were baked and iced, but there are so many icing options you can pair with these cookies—I mean it’s out of control. If you’re really feeling like living on the edge, you can go ahead and add a few drops of food coloring to the icing to make it festive. No one is going to stop you.

Why?

Cause the bakers gonna bake bake bake bake bake.

Bye.

[inyourwildestdreams-1989]

In honor of Taylor singing ‘Never Grow Up’ tonight, I thought it would be fun if we all comment how old we were when Taylor released Speak Now in 2010 and how old we are now to see how we’ve all grown up!

I’ll start!

In 2010 I was 15 years old and a freshman in high school. Now I’m about to turn 23 in less than 2 weeks and I’m finishing up my masters degree!

[standbyswiftforever-deactivated]

In 2010 I was seven years old and surviving the horrors of second grade lol, now I’m a sophomore in high school!

[youneedtoclamdown]

I was 8 years old worrying about the fact that in 2 years I would be graduating from 5th grade and now I’m applying for colleges :( :)

[fiveholesinthefence]

I was 9 when it came out and i’m turning 17 on Thursday. Heading to my senior year and by the time i see Taylor in Detroit, i’ll be applying for colleges.

[theprettylights]

I was 16 in my junior year of high school and now I’m 23 (turning 24 later this year) and have just graduated with my masters degree! So now I’m in the workforce, all done school! :)

[singlethread]

In 2010 I was 11 years old in my final years of elementary school being horrible bullied with only one real friend and now I’m 19 and in my second year of college and I have so many friends who love me for me

[todaywasafairy-tail]

I was 6 years old, just discovering how fast kids grow up. Being bullied and turning to Taylor for advice. Now I’m 14, finding myself and working hard in school.

[omg-we-are-the-new-romantics]

In 2010 I was 9 and in fourth grade, longing to be a fifth grader because in my section it was the coolest thing. Now I’m 17 in my second semester of the best uni in my country. And I’ve got an 11 year old sister whom I cried with while listening to this song, asking her to never grow up.

[dreyblr]

In 2010 I was 17 and in high school, I had a few friends and I was extremely shy, daydreaming about living in the USA. Now I’m 25, I have a Marketing & Communication master’s degree, living in the USA and I have friends from all over the world.   

[dyingtoseehowthisonends]

I was 10 years old and now I’m 18 moving out of my childhood home in exactly one week to Atlanta to starts college and a whole new life.

[taylorkeepdancing]

I was 17 years old on high school and now I’m 25 I graduated from uni and I have a job I love and on my free time I’m a photographer

[fearlessswiftielaura13]

In 2010 I was 10 turning 11 in August and I was in 4th grade. Yesterday I graduated from high school and I’m chasing my dream of becoming an entertainment journalist ❤️

[taysknowsplaces]

In 2010, I was 10 years old and in 4th grade and now I’m 19, starting my sophomore year at my dream school and I’m doing better than I ever was ❤️☺️

[taylorscinammonrolls]

I was 10, finishing up 5th grade. Now I’m about to turn 18, leave for college in Italy(I’m from America). So you can say I’m an emotional wreck from last night

[suncameupiwaslookingatyou]

In 2010 I was 14, coming up to my last year in school, I’m now 22 (23 next week) I currently work in a hospital.

[tayloraswift]

I was 13, my first year in secondary school, still struggling to figure out what I want. I’m now 21, with a diploma and just starting adulthood.

[miamiswift]

I was 9 years old when it came out and I was so in love with the album. Now I’m 17 and going into senior year and I’m so glad I’ve had Taylor to guide me through my childhood and teenage years.

[taylorswift]

I LOVE YOU THIS IS SO AMAZING

[slytherintay]
