For all you Grey's Anatomy lovers.

Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

[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,

💔

It’s one of those things people say: you can’t move on until you let go of the past. Letting go is the easy part. It’s the moving on that’s painful. So sometimes, we fight it, try and keep things the same. Things can’t stay the same, though. At some point, you just have to let go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow.

People are really romantic about the beginnings of things. A fresh start, clean slate, a world of possibility. But, no matter what adventure you’re embarking on, you’re still you. You bring you into every new beginning in your life. So how different can it possibly be?

Your life is a gift, accept it. No matter how screwed up or painful it seems to be. Some things are going to work out as if they are destined to happen. As if they were just meant to be.

Grey’s Anatomy 8x13

[greysanatomygreatness]

There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t because I thought I’d be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone, and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone because what if you learn that you need love, and then you don’t have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then… it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever.

We're always looking for ways to ease the pain. Sometimes we ease the pain by making the best of what we have. Sometimes it's by losing ourselves in the moment. And sometimes all we need to do to ease the pain is call a simple truce.

Grey’s Anatomy 8x14

[greysanatomygreatness]

We've all heard the warnings, and we ignored them. We push our luck, we roll the dice, we play with fire. It's human nature. When we're told not to touch something, we usually do, even if we know better. Maybe because deep down, we're just asking for trouble.

Grey’s Anatomy 8x18

[greysanatomygreatness]

It’s not always easy to speak your mind. Sometimes you need to be forced to do it. Sometimes it’s better to just keep things to yourself, though; play dumb, even when your whole body is begging to come clean. So you shut your mouth, keep the secret, and find other ways to make yourself happy.

that physical ache you get when you hear how to save a life or chasing cars

[greysanatomygreatness]

It can be scary to find out you've been wrong about something. But we can't be afraid to change our minds. To accept that things are different. That they'll never be the same. For better, or for worse. We have to be willing to give up what we used to believe.  The more we're willing to accept what is, and not what we thought, we'll find ourselves exactly where we belong.
