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.

y’all look who’s trending on tt, following the release of lover. was this song’s purpose to bring some attention to joe? i 100% think so. the pr stunt continues...

#gaylor swift #kaylor #toe pr stunt #lover #taylor swift

so there’s literally a war on tt followed by the release of taylor’s vogue interview. female swifties that are a part of the lgbt community are upset that taylor’s been feeding this “i’m bisexual” narrative for so long and that she’s been using lots of gay/bisexual visuals like rainbow dresses and such for the past few years to the point where the queer folks (including myself) started believing that she might be one of us. what i’ve noticed is that male swifties straight and gay are attacking female swifties for believing that they saw a part of them in taylor. they’re using queer slurs and are telling us to grow up. it’s pretty clear why they don’t care abt all this and want us to stfu. it’s bc taylor’s a woman and not a man, hence why female lgbt swifties felt more connected to her than the male straight/lgbt swifties. they know how it feels to be represented in the media etc. bc there’s plenty of famous male stars in the music and film industry. meanwhile women don’t have the same luxury and we thought that we finally were blessed with someone who was going to represent us on a worldwide scale. we were wrong and i don’t have anything against taylor or anybody being straight. the point is we can be upset and angry when someone who’s been inserting themselves in a community that’s oppressed on a daily basis, all of a sudden says that they’re not a part of it. so pls if you’re straight or a male DON’T tell how we, female lgbt swifties, should feel about it.

i feel so deeply for taylor... can’t imagine how it must feel to get your art that you put so much work and heart into get swooped in by a bully... artists, and especially women, in the music industry get mistreated so much and seeing that not even the biggest pop star in the world is safe from getting stripped of her rights to ownership of her own creations motivates me even more to get the best education i can while studying music business so i can help artists in the music industry to protect their intellectual properties and to get the earned justice if it’s needed. so thank you @taylorswift for speaking up against money-hungry bullies in the industry and remember that your fans always have your back x

#taylor swift #i know you want see this but i had to share it with someone bc i finally feel like i found m purpose in life

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
