TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE F***ING MAN

[ivebeenthearcher]

A raw and emotionally revealing look at Taylor Swift during a transformational period in her life as she learns to embrace her role not only as a songwriter and performer, but as a woman harnessing the full power of her voice.

@taylorswift opening up about her struggle with food and weight hit me hard because I struggled in the same way. To be honest, it’s still hard sometimes. Thanks Taylor for being vulnerable and reminding others like us that we aren’t alone.

Happy Birthday to THE Man...@taylorswift

I’m in charge of the Christmas playlist that’s played on Christmas Day. This year it will just be Christmas Tree Farm on repeat. All day. Fight me. @taylorswift

I love you @taylorswift and am so incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished thus far! Proud to support you forever! ❤️❤️❤️

Taylor & Tree’s statements were based on facts. Big Machine’s was based on emotional response rather than professionalism. But people will still say Taylor’s the “mad” one here 🙄😤

this is a virtual hug for Taylor Swift wherever she is

Big Machine only cares about dollar signs and their control over their artists. They couldn’t give a shit about the art itself or the fan experience. They’re trying to say that Taylor’s accusation is that they won’t let her perform at all when she’s really saying that they won’t let her perform HER OWN SONGS THAT THEY WOULDN’T LET HER BUY. Taylor was very upfront about the fact that she tried to work this out privately. The only thing they were optimistic about in those conversations was that they thought she would be silent. Big Machine is a toxic label. Thank goodness @taylorswift got out when she did!

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

This is so sad not only because the behavior of these men is so incredibly toxic and disgusting, but if this is happening to @taylorswift, the ARTIST OF THE DECADE, then it’s also happening to handfuls of other artists out there. This is such an outrageous practice within the music industry and the biggest reason I got out of it. These singleminded men have allowed the performances of her old songs on other televised events, but not this one because it’s one of the biggest honors one could receive (debatably). For those saying that “she should have thought of those rights when she signed the contract in the first place”...SHE WAS BARELY A TEENAGER WHEN SHE SIGNED THAT CONTRACT! Also, THIS IS A NORM IN THE MUSIC INDUCTRY THAT NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED...AND SHES TRYING TO DO THAT (they aren’t)! ALSO, TOXIC MASCULINITY IS WHEN TWO MEN USE “LEGAL RIGHTS” AND THE FACE OF A CMPANY TO SILENCE A WOMAN BECAUSE THEY ARE BUTTHURT ABOUT HER TAKING OFFENSE OF THEIR OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR!

@taylorswift I love you and I stand with you ❤️
