To be completely honest, I don't post often. My tumblr's vibe is my emotions, and my passions. I post how I feel and how I want others to feel when they come across this. Enjoy, Stay awhile.

Don’t know what else to do

Guys - It’s been announced recently that the American Music Awards will be honoring me with the Artist of the Decade Award at this year’s ceremony. I’ve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I’m allowed to next year. Additionally - and this isn’t the way I had planned on telling you this news - Netflix has created a documentary about my life for the past few years. Scott and Scooter have declined the use of my older music or performance footage for this project, even though there is no mention of either of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film.

Scott Borchetta told my team that they’ll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs next year (which is something I’m both legally allowed to do and looking forward to) and also told my team that I need to stop talking about him and Scooter Braun.

I feel very strongly that sharing what is happening to me could change the awareness level for other artists and potentially help them avoid a similar fate. The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you’ll be punished.

This is WRONG. Neither of these men had a hand in the writing of those songs. They did nothing to create the relationship I have with my fans. So this is where I’m asking for your help.

Please let Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun know how you feel about this. Scooter also manages several artists who I really believe care about other artists and their work. Please ask them for help with this - I’m hoping that maybe they can talk some sense into the men who are exercising tyrannical control over someone who just wants to play the music she wrote. I’m especially asking for help from The Carlyle Group, who put up money for the sale of my music to these two men.

I just want to be able to perform MY OWN music. That’s it. I’ve tried to work this out privately through my team but have not been able to resolve anything. Right now my performance at the AMA’s, the Netflix documentary and any other recorded events I am planning to play until November of 2020 are a question mark.

I love you guys and I thought you should know what’s been going on.

Amazon Prime Concert | New York City, NY | July 10, 2019

Kat Maconie ‘Rhinestone Heeled Frida Sandals’ - $324.00

While Taylor is wearing what I am suspecting is another custom Jessica Jones ensemble, my attention thusly turned to her shoes. While a Stella McCartney option would not have been surprising, I love that Taylor chose a stylish pair by Kat Maconie. I always appreciate fun fashion choices and these ones have the right amount of embellishment, fit the colour palette of Lover and have a chunky heel for Taylor to more easily maneuver during her closing set of the Amazon concert. 

Also, mad shoutout to Lorrie and Jemma tonight because her beauty and hair were perfect. 

Worn with: Jessica Jones romper

“Everything that is tearing us down today will become a memory, and this memory will be shared as an anecdote or a story or a poem or a play or a warning. It will be shared with another human being, who will then understand that he is not alone in his sadness. This is why we show up for others and tell our tales and listen to others. The great congregation meets daily, and you are someone’s angel today.”

— Tennessee Williams, in an interview with James Grissom

I really think Taylor might truly, finally not give a shit. She knows what can she just opened. She’s openly liking tumblr posts directed at people, naming names. She’s always made who she’s talking about clear but today is a whole new level. And she wouldn’t come at the same cohort of people who caused a lot of what she went through in 2016 again she’ll get a different result.. I really think she truly doesn’t care. I wouldn’t wanna be on the other end of that haha

She’s already been dragged through the mud and had everyone spit in her face. I wouldn’t give a fuck anymore either. She’s already hit rock bottom. If you’re going down, go down with a fight. Go big or go home. What’s the big deal? They’ll call her a liar again? Call her a slut? Have her naked likeness in a video? She’s been there.

the fact that scooby snack included a screenshot of his friend saying “when your buddy buys taylor swift” into his instagram story of him bragging about this situation…. really turns my stomach and shows the entire point of the purchase in the first place! love when men show themselves without even trying.
