I'd love to meet Taylor one day ❤

[taylorswift]

What if I’m alright right here?

[shannonw5x13]

I hope Taylor is in love forever. It makes me happy knowing she is happy. We all love you ❤ @taylorswift ❤

#Lover comes out 13 days after my 24th birthday @taylorswift

We all got crowns 👑 💕

OKAY SO the YNTCD video is officially out!! First things first, I want to say that my co-stars in this video are AMAZING. Please celebrate this video by supporting their work, following them, and going to see them perform. I’m SO grateful to everyone who lent their time to this video and SO EXCITED I ACTUALLY DO NEED TO CALM DOWN. 🍹

Seriously can we just ADDRESS THIS because I’m CACKLING?? Is it a statement??? Are her arms just warm?? There’s no need to decide. what a 2000’s icon™️

[tattooedgoldenretriever]

this has the same energy as that one episode of glee when brittany wears leg warms on her arms because she forgot it was winter and wore a tank top and her arms got cold

[goodgirlwhoshopeful]

Omg YES??????? The good ol’ Leg Warmers For Cold Arms™️??? Of course.

Also, I love that she’s standing IN HER WARDROBE wearing this, like out of the 2000’s context, historians will think this is some kind of teenage makeover attempt where she tried to make her own sleeves

‘When you’re 15 and somebody tells you they love you, you’re gonna believe them’

But when you’re 16, you wear arm warmers with cowboy boots cause you DGAF

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,

💔

Taylor
