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.

Hey swifties! Only 40 more days until Lover! In celebration of the new @taylorswift album, my swiftie fam and I are hosting a giveaway :) It’s open to both US and international swifties! If you want to reblog for your followers, but do not want to enter the giveaway yourself - just let me know in the tags. See what you’ll win and how to enter, below:

What you’ll win (from the TS official store):

1 album cover crop tee OR album cover sky tee OR snakes & butterflies tee

1 YNTCD-themed tee of your choice

1 Lover digital standard album

1 popsocket of your choice

1 Calm Down sleep mask OR AWESOME tote bag

1 pink heart-shaped sunglasses OR 1 yellow heart-shaped sunglasses

How to enter:

Must be following me (@darlingimanightmare) on Tumblr

Reblog this post (+ any of my other posts tagged ‘edit’ or ‘family’ would be nice, but not mandatory haha). 1 reblog = 1 entry // likes don’t count as entries, but you can ‘like’ to bookmark

You can also participate on my Instagram (@headfirstfearless) - I will combine the entries off both Tumblr + IG to choose a winner!

The winner will be randomly selected on August 23rd, the Lover release date :) I will announce + reach out to the winner around that time, to ask for preferences / sizing. Message me or comment if you have any questions. Good luck, swifties!

On a serious note: putting this at the end, as I imagine most people won’t be reading this far. Some of you might already know this, but in short, my family and I have traveled to see Taylor 18x in various cities across the USA, since the Fearless Tour. We’re big on merch, and we love going all out with signs and costumes at every tour. And while I didn’t think much of this when I was say 14 years old - now that I have grown up, graduated college and work my own job - I’ve come to realize just how much of a privilege it is to be both geographically and financially capable of enjoying such activities. And I try to understand the perspectives of fans with limitations, who do not have access to certain experiences, yet have to watch others post about their merch + perks. So I hope this giveaway will improve the experience for just one swiftie out there, who wouldn’t otherwise be able to own these items.
