Tonight all these lives converge here The mosaics of laughter and cocktails of tears Where fraternal souls sing identical things And it’s beautiful It’s rapturous. It is frightening. ____
I can’t tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right. A forever thank you goes out to my mentors and friends Max and Shellback for helping me paint this self portrait.
If you thought the big show was wild, perhaps you should come and take a look behind the curtain…
The Life of a Showgirl is out now.

File this under “save your best for the finale”… I think my favorite moments from the tour were the acoustic surprises. So I went back into the studio with Max and Shellback to record acoustic/unplugged versions of a few of the Showgirl songs with brand new vocals and production! Cannot WAIT for you to hear:
❤️🔥 Life Is A Song Acoustic Version with “Opalite (Life Is A Song Acoustic Version)” and “Ruin the Friendship (My Advice Version)” ❤️🔥 Dressing Room Rehearsal Version with “Wi$h Li$t (Settled Down Acoustic Version)” and “The Life of a Showgirl (Dressing Room Rehearsal Acoustic Version)” ❤️🔥 Alone In My Tower Acoustic Version with “The Fate of Ophelia (Alone In My Tower Acoustic Version)” and “Eldest Daughter (Now You’re Home Acoustic Version)” ❤️🔥 So Glamorous Cabaret Version with “Elizabeth Taylor (So Glamorous Cabaret Version)” and Elizabeth Taylor (Original Songwriting Voice Memo)
Four limited CD releases each including two acoustic bonus tracks on my site now for 24 hours while supplies last.

Writing, rehearsing, directing and shooting the music video for “The Fate of Ophelia” was the thrill of a lifetime because I got to be reunited with my Eras Tour family!! I wanted each one-take scene to feel like a live performance and remind us all of how it felt to be at those shows together. Making every moment count. It’s a journey through the chaotic world of show business. I loved working with Rodrigo Prieto, Ethan Tobman and Mandy Moore to dream up these visuals. A huge thank you to this massive cast who kept it 💯 and also kept the secret of this video even existing. It’s out on YouTube NOW!

HOW SHE LOOK THIS GOOD
@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,
💔

Taking in every second of this tour- thank you New Orleans for being so incredible last night. My first time playing the Superdome and couldn’t be happier that I got to play it with Camila and @charlixcx - plus some purrfect friends came to see the show. 💗💗💗💗💗
hi taylor, i’m hayley!
@taylorswift @taylornation
hi taylor, i’m hayley! i just recently turned 19 on june 19th. i’m from australia. i have loved and admired you since i was 9 years old, so that’s 10 whole years of total swiftie dedication. whilst i look like the average teenage girl, i actually suffer with a rare and incurable condition. it’s called behçet’s disease, it’s an inflammatory disorder that causes me quite a lot of pain. it gives me mouthfuls of mouth ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis, fatigue, cognitive fogginess, cellulitis and more. i have flare-ups of my condition which worsen the symptoms. i’m thankful that so far i have yet to be diagnosed with the neurological form of this disease as that can have scary symptoms such as brain aneurysms. i always struggled with my health when i was younger but kids are definitely resilient so i didn’t let it bring me down but as i got older and i noticed i wasn’t like my peers, i let it get to me. because it’s an invisible condition, it was difficult to explain to others why i was absent from school for a long period of time, why i was in hospital and why i couldn’t do stuff like everybody else. people automatically assumed i was making it up so i resulted in keeping it private, so no one besides my family knew i was suffering. it got to my final year of high school (when i was finally diagnosed with my condition after years of research, testing and specialist visits) and my health was as at an all-time low just as the final exams approached, the exams that would determine my career and university admittance. i could no longer write due to my immense pain and i struggled to get out of bed. i was so hesitant to speak up but then i thought of you and how you would always speak up about injustices and how much you care about your fans. i thought, “taylor wouldn’t want me hiding my suffering, she wrote a whole album about speaking up, speak now!”. i eventually told my teachers at school and they were so understanding and helped me to get a writer and rest breaks for my exams. i had never had a writer before so this was quite a difficult adjustment just a month before exams commenced. i ended up going so well, i got an 89.20 ATAR and i was nominated by one of my teacher’s for the brother john taylor memorial prize for students who have overcome significant hardships during their HSC exams. i actually won the award and was given a trophy by the minister of education at sydney parliament house. i was actually written about in a newspaper, i was on the front page in a RED dress and had a whole article about me on page 4!
here’s a link if you would like to read the article: https://www.theherald.com.au/story/5305386/praise-for-hunter-student-who-overcame-significant-adversity-to-achieve-outstanding-results/
it feels so crazy going from keeping it private to getting an award at parliament house and being front page on a newspaper. i’m now at university studying to be an early childhood and primary school teacher and educator. i thank you and my mum everyday for all your encouragement. my mum has helped me every step of the way and so have you even if you don’t realise. you may not know that i exist but your positive presence and source of happiness in my life has assisted me in being a resilient, fearless and isn’t afraid to be proud of the barriers i have had to overcome to get where i am today. i’m so much more confident because of you and i couldn’t possibly thank you enough. i hope to one day thank you in person.
my mum and i have seen you two times in concert, the red tour in sydney on december 4, 2013 and the 1989 world tour in sydney on november 28, 2015 (i was actually staying in a hotel across the road from the stadium and heard you sound checking the night before, i had tears running down my face from excitement!!!). we get to see you again in sydney on november 2, 2018 for another exciting mother and daughter weekend seeing the reputation world tour. i’ll be in section 133-1, row 22, seats 48-49 (hope you enjoy my sneaky word and number references in bold hehe).
love you ever so much @taylorswift @taylornation,
from your loving and adoring fan, hayley.
