Justin and Scooter are, dare I say, playing the victim

[blankspace-babyy]

She’s a smart, strong, successful, independent woman.

They HATE that

[blankspace-babyy]

I love how every conversation of change gets manipulated into spiraling hate and accusation. The whole point was Taylor wanting the rights to her own music and standing up for herself and other artists who are affected by this as well. This isn’t a hate battle. It’s not a “spill the tea about the other person” party. It’s not “where’s the lie”. It’s purely “I don’t own the rights to my music. I want the rights to my music and I want other artists to own their creations as well”. Why does everything have to turn into a battle of how many people can i get to hate Taylor Swift? missing the point luvs

I can’t put into words how disgusted, disappointed and angry I am. I’m so sorry Taylor, my heart is broken for you. Please know I will always stand by your side and support you I love you so much :(

💗💗💗 sad for you Taylor!!! I can’t believe people are so horrible 😭😭

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

demi telling todrick he’s lying about scooter’s homophobia has the same energy as justin bieber deleting cara’s comment. silencing people who have a different opinion than you is NOT it ma’am
