Dear Taylor:

Hey darling, what's up? I'm not the Best talking and writing in english (is not my language) but I'm Trying to not us Google traductor ( I write it good?)

Well I want to tell u how much I love u, you are an amazing person, everyday u inspire me After reading everything that happened with scott I ended up confirming what for years I denied

Music is what I want, I'm 15 years old and I know I won't get a contract soon or maybe my parents won't support me but, I know that even if we don't know each other I have your support

I was very inspired by your lyrics of heartbreak, it's funny but it's true these days the songs of heartbreak stand out more

All Too Well, Back to December, you Belong to me are the most beautiful Inspiring songs

I'll probably never know you and if I do I'd like to do a song with you, it sounds logical and maybe stupid but I'll fight for it

Brendon, the pilots, Dallon, Ross and you are the most amazing people I can know? among all the women in the music industry you're the best because you've learned to take everything and you're the example I need

I hope I can meet you one day i work on the lyrics I write so that they are songs soon

If I agree with you I hope we can be great friends, I really love that I do, I will work day and night to make a good song so that it is sung by both

There are many spelling mistakes and please forgive me, I also work in this language, as it is where I want to sing

With all the love of the world : Anahi Giles

who by the way, in the music industry the day i achieves a contract will be :

We stand with TaylorSwift ❤️

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
