“All of my enemies started out friends” is so relatable and really puts in perspective for me why I feel the way I do about it..

I always talk about missing my enemies and people don’t understand.. I could never explain it until I heard these lyrics.

I miss my enemies because they were once my friends. That’s the side of them I miss, the memories, the good times. They were replaced with bad memories and bad times.

It all really makes sense now.

I’m mind blown 🤯

You know, Taylor is one of my (and many other’s) role models and her speaking out that she can’t OWN the art SHE CREATED is empowering. She is being a role model by standing up for what she believes in and advising up and coming artists.

Taylor and the rest of the Swift family are amazing humans 💗 @taylorswift

[tayloreckerline]

CONTROL HER FANS!?

Why would she ever want to control anyone? We are in a mutually supportive relationship and are supporting Taylor like we would to any of our friends.

“[Regarding claim Scott Swift knew about the sale] Scott Swift is not on the board of directors and has never been. On June 25, there was a shareholder phone call that Scott Swift did not participate in due to a very strict NDA that bound all shareholders and prohibited any discussion at all without risk of severe penalty. Her dad did not join that call because he did not want to be required to withhold any information from his own daughter. Taylor found out from the news articles when she woke up before seeing any text from Scott Borchetta and he did not call her in advance.”

HOW FUCKING SKEEZY OH MY GOD

[tayloreckerline]

Scott Swift is truly the only Scott to trust here.

Taylor you have every fan with you right now. All our love and support. You’ve worked way too hard for this. We love you so much 💗

[dazzlinhaze]

it’s discusting to me that in 2019, a woman can be called a bully for simply standing up for herself and refusing to allow her feelings and life’s work to be pushed to the side without consideration

[holdontothenight]

2019 will not become 2016. taylor you have people on your side. you have us. the positivity and happiness lover is already bringing cannot be topped by this negativity. we love you so so so much

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
