Art By Giu

I strongly believe in colours, in words and emotions and I express myself through them because I couldn't find a better way. ✨ She/Her · 🎂 19 y/o · 🇮🇹 from Italy You're welcome to share my work if you give credits💕

If your soul had a colour, what would it be?

I think a lot about mine and I'll go for black and gold.

Let me know yours!

"I love you, ain'it the worst thing you've ever heard?"

And you called me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest, I'm a crumpled-up piece of paper lying here.

Not to be loud but here's your friendly reminder of what Taylor means by "guitar string scar on my hand".

If you're anything like me

If you're anything like me, you're waiting for Lover to be out and can't think about anything else.

If you're anything like me, you're crossing the line, wasting your time, losing your mind waiting for Lover to be out.

If you're anything like me, at night you cose your eyes and think about the tracklist wondering what those beautiful title might hold.

If you're anything like me, you're still wondering why Taylor chose that font.

If you're anything like me, I'm sorry, but hey, we all know we wouldn't like it in any other way.

I feel like my most recent art is well matched to Lover because of its pastel colors and, not gonna lie, I like it.

I stand with Taylor, we all do. This crown won't be taken away from you.

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 think it’s cute that thing humans do when they see a boat pass and the people on the boat wave at them and they wave back. For absolutely no reason. They don’t know each other they’re not trying to communicate anything other than “LOOK! I am on a boat!!! Hello!!!!” “I see you!!!! On the boat!!!! Hello!!!!!!!!!!” in a genuine moment of wholesome human connection and excitement.

It's day 2 on Tumblr and the number of quotes I love is already killing me.

“The way you love someone, does not determine the way they love you back.”

I used to think that until there is love, everything else is just an excuse, but then I loved and I found myself thinking for the first time "This time love is not enough".
