i..... am seriously so upset by this bmr bullshit like i am SO upset about it...... i need to not read comments because even when there are a million supportive comments i see one comment that is anti-taylor and my blood boils.... it’s not even a matter of opinion, it’s a matter of what’s right. i hate to make it about me but it just.... i hate that the music that truly shaped me into who i am today, the music that defined every era of my life, the music i listened to on my 8th grade quebec trip bus ride, in the car on the way to high school, in my headphones walking to class in college, on the plane on the way to france where i was internally freaking tf out because i had no idea what i was getting myself into for 8 months, on my way to work as a new adult in the “real world”.... it’s now owned by someone who bought it just to spite her and doesn’t know a damn word to any of her songs. he doesn’t understand the impact her music has had on my life, all of our lives, and he never will because he’s just a greedy prick. 

i actually cried when i read taylor’s post last night, which to a normie seems overdramatic and insane, but it just made me so mad. i heard my first taylor song on myspace and have never looked back. and i’m just so frustrated that the artist whose music shaped my life doesn’t even own the very 6 albums that shaped me from age 13-24. and if taylor, the most powerful woman in the music industry, is getting fucked this royally, there is no hope for anyone else.

Leaving this right here

scooby doo just sucks like fucking taylor swift over aside, he pushes his artists to their absolute limit (ariana breaking down on stage and him making her continue to tour when she clearly wasn’t in a good palce), his investment group supporting genocide, AND he’s pushing 40 and still calls himself “scooter” so like. pick a struggle dude.

[ciwyw2]

this, however, does reveal how scared they are for her to re-record her music

[crumbledovernight]

do you think scooby doo even knows one damn lyric to a taylor song? do you think he has ever stayed up til 1:58 on july 9th to cry his eyes out to last kiss? no!!!!!!! he doesn’t deserve to hold her back catalogue hostage like this!!!!!!!!!

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.

Taylor

in honor of 13 years of taylor, reblog this post and tag it with your favorite song from each of her seven albums

hi

#she’s a self-aware queen

[crumbledovernight]

all i want to know is if she’ll announce a more traditional tour for lover. it’s okay if it’s not til 2021 and i have to wait, i just want to know if i should shell out the money to go to lover fest east or west next year or if i should just wait for her to announce more US dates. i’m not against going to boston or la for lover fest but being in the midwest i’d have to really plan that, like buy flights, take time off work, stay in hotels, etc. and i’m not against it but if there will be more us dates then i will save my money and wait for her to come somewhere closer. i don’t need exact details i just need confirmation that she’ll go more places in the us in the future!

and i want to acknowledge that i’m really happy for the international fans because they usually get paid dust... usually her european legs are the uk and ireland, and she’s actually going to mainland europe. and for previous the mainland european fans felt the exact same way that us non-coastal american fans feel today... i know a lot of them said they weren’t anti spending money to see her in the uk, but they needed to know if she would come somewhere closer before making that decision. which is how i feel!

i’ve also been planning on going back to france next year (i actually think today is the 4 year anniversary of when i arrived in france to teach english!?!?!?!?!?!?! omfg) and i specifically wanted to go to the south in the summer and was thinking about going for 2 weeks that stretch over the 4th so i would only have to take 9 days off instead of 10 and lo and behold!!!!! she is going to nimes on july 5th so maybe i’ll do that instead since i could make a legit vacation out of it lmao

[crumbledovernight]

i wanna go back to europe next year but i also gotta wait til taylor releases the lover tour dates so i can plan accordingly 

also if anyone wants to travel europe and follow the lover tour around (provided she actually goes to mainland europe) (but i think she will since she’s no longer on BMR and she’s made an effort to include many international fans this era) then HMU

[crumbledovernight]

@taylorswift when are you announcing tour and more specifically when are you coming to detroit

““Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince” revisits the high-school girl she was on Fearless, just as “Daylight” updates the six-months-sober young-adult romantic of 1989. The girl who sang about making her mom drop her off a block away from the party is now driving her mom to the hospital. The teenager with teardrops on her guitar is now a woman with guitar-string scars. Yet on Lover she wants to show why all these girls are authentically her.”

[thecalmthatkeepsyouawake]

Scooter and Scott both posted congratulating Taylor on her new album and it makes me so uncomfy because they’re trying to act like they’re above what they would rather call “drama” by taking the high road and I want to yell because Taylor was so vocally upset with both of them after Scott sold her masters to Scooter. They’re acting like they didn’t do anything bad to her and they have nothing but love for her when Taylor made it clear that Scott’s decision to sell her masters to her was a spiteful decision to hurt Taylor. Scott still won’t acknowledge the details of the deal he offered Taylor and he left it out of the Big Machine Blog post that night because no one would be on his side. I’m sick of this “nothing but love” bullshit. I want both of them to keep Taylor’s name out of their mouths and that’s final.
