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.

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

Stella: “because we don’t know if you’re going to do a tour or not”

Taylor:

on a serious note, archer just hits differently. it feels like all those nights you cry yourself to sleep, all those nights you ask yourself why are you yourself and all of those nights you spend listing all your flaws, put into a incredibly soft, hearbreaking melody and haunting words embed with depth that leave your heart aching. her voice is like a warm blanket that you wrap yourself into on those nights, it's is what gives you comfort and what makes you feel like you are not alone. it is one of taylor's most beautiful songs, lyrically and melodically, and most important, emotionally.

thinking about how the archer is the first time in taylor’s entire discography where she has expressed the desire to ask a real (not fictional/imagined) partner for help

remember what halsey said about men wanting to have power just to abuse that power and women wanting to have power so they could stop being abused? this is exactly what is going here

women wanting the rights to their own hard work isn’t ‘asking for sympathy’ you slimy rat

So it took Justin 3 years to “realize” that post was wrong? I’m laughing.

It’s so funny he used a photo of 2009 like that’s how long they haven’t been friends

Taylor when horrible things like this I hope you remember the crowds chanting your name and screaming the lyrics YOU wrote back to you because that’s how much they mean to us. Your songs will never die, they will always resonate within our lives and our souls and that’s what matters.
