This is absolutely RIDICULOUS. Taylor worked her a** off for her craft. Why is MEN dictating what a strong woman should/should not do??? Why are these MONSTERS basically stripping Taylor off her full glory as Artiste of the DECADE???? Iโm enraged at how disgustingly low people can behave when they are no longer on the receiving end. My heart breaks for Taylor, my queen deserves better.. iโm sorry you have to go through this bs i love you so much @taylorswift for some reason i feel like you might be able to work this out somehow but then again if you donโt and youโre only allowed to play your recent tracks, i just wanna say that they are your BEST WORKS yet although I do get the sentimentality behind your old songs bc itโs some of the past ten years of your career and craft condensed into one performance i hope you get your justice I really do. Sending love โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐ญ
Donโt know what else to do
Guys - Itโs been announced recently that the American Music Awards will be honoring me with the Artist of the Decade Award at this yearโs ceremony. Iโve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that Iโm not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before Iโm allowed to next year. Additionally - and this isnโt 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 theyโll 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 Iโm 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 youโll 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 Iโm 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 - Iโm 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. Iโm 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. Thatโs it. Iโve tried to work this out privately through my team but have not been able to resolve anything. Right now my performance at the AMAโs, 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 whatโs been going on.
Genuinely me when Taylor said โYou are what you loveโ at the end of Daylight HAHAHAHA I LOVE YOU SO MUCH TAYYY!!
Lover is I N C R E D I B L E ๐ฅบ๐โค๏ธ๐โค๏ธ๐ iโm so so proud that you finally own your craft, hardwork and masterpiece๐ซ๐ฅฐ๐ !! @taylorswift thank you for EVERYTHING. I canโt wait to see you on tour๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
Part 2 of what I think these songs on Lover might be about!! I AM SO EXCITEDDDD LESS THAN A WEEK NOW YAYYYYY!! I hate this timezone! I wish iโm nearer to you โน @taylorswift also, i have finals this coming week and itโs not fun :(๐ฅบ๐ Lover would be a real treat since I end finals on 21st Aug which is 20th Aug in US ( i think! ) if you ever see this p.s I MISS YOU SO MUCHHHHHH and GOOD JOB ON LOVER!!! I cried on the first listen! I havw my track reaction videos on my instagram incase you ever wanna check it out hehe
Part 1 of my analysis and predictions about what these songs might be about! TAYLOR HOW DARE YOU DROP THIS TRACKLIST BOMB ON US! Youโre literally giving me a heart attack at 4am in Singapore HAHA I LOVE YOUUUU! Also, p.s iโm probably super wrong about them but have fun reading! ๐๐๐
Reading this breaks my heart but I am so proud of you ๐ญ the fact that you already foreseen this yet still thanked Scott and the label when you have decided to leave BML was a really gracious move. You are the one who put in all those tireless and huge amounts of effort in your music all these years. Nobody should be able to strip you of your efforts. This sucks. But now that youโve got a better record label that understands and respects your needs and wants, iโm so sure you are gonna do so freaking well !! I love you so much Taylor and iโll always have your back ๐โค๏ธ๐โค๏ธ๐ CANโT WAIT FOR LOVER HEHEHHEE
Love you til the end of time,
Glenda ๐คชโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
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 โearnโ 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.ย
Some fun facts about todayโs news: I learned about Scooter Braunโs purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying Iโve received at his hands for years.ย
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 lifeโs work, that I wasnโt 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 โloyaltyโ is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says โMusic has valueโ, he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it.ย
When I left my masters in Scottโs 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 โScooter Braunโ 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 didnโt want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever.ย
Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scottโs 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.ย
I am so impressed at the FACT that @taylorswift doesnโt even try yet looks like a freaking GODDESS ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ I LOVE YOU SO MUCH TAYTAY AND I MISS YOU TERRIBLY ๐โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Found the pics of when i was doing my board for Red Tour back in 2014 ๐ญโค๏ธ look where that got me this year! 2018 has been really blessed indeed.. thank you Tay i love you! That 3min ish of meeting you was enough to turn me over a new leaf and I canโt wait to show you my tattoo!! โค๏ธ
@taylorswift will you still love my hair if i dyed it brown/black for school :โ) also, your beautiful blue eyes ๐ญ๐ซ CAN YOU NOT. I was just staring into them 6 days ago and meeting you was the death of me ๐ญ I MISS YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ also, iโm basically free 24/7 if a certain swiftlet wants to hit me up for ts7 ss xD if I can skip a week of school for Rep tour Perth, pretty sure I got my priorities right xD
A little over 24 hours ago, Mama Swift made last night the best night of my 18 years of living, 10 years of being a Swiftie, 5 Taylor Shows, by giving me the most incredible gift which is an invite to the rep room.. like.. YโALL?????? I FREAKING MET TAYLOR LAST NIGHT ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ I totally embarrassed myself omg I actually asked Taylor if sheโs real and my Singaporean tongue slipped out, I spoke in Singlish and aiya-ed at her HAHAHAHAH but tbh honestly hasnโt sunk it yet..feels like a recurring dream that had always been nothing but a dream until last night..This may sound insane but since Speak Now era, I always get so caught up with the idea of meeting Taylor that I always dreamt that I had met Taylor! I dreamt that I did in Speak Now era, Red era and 1989 era but for Rep era I dreamt that I was picked but denied entry, I guess itโs godsent that it actually happened in real life for once out of the literal more than 10 times that i dreamt I met Tay ๐ญ The 8 year old me will never imagine that it will ever come to this day. I know that I have been to many other shows but NOTHING will ever come close to Taylorโs shows, EVER. Also, I forgot to mention my name to Taylor because I freaked out, and now Taylor will never know ๐ญ but those few minutes we spent together is the most incredible and magical moment of the past 18 years of my life and I wouldnโt switch it for the world.. Itโs my 5th Taylor show, 1st Rep show, 1st overseas Taylor show, 1st ever Rain show, 1st and only Rep Room and I truly was and still am enchanted to meet you @taylorswift ๐ญโค๏ธ itโs over way too soon! Taylor is the artiste I will always have the utmost respect for, sheโs a lyrical genius, definitely the most angelic human being on the entire face of Earth duh, the most genuine, down-to-earth, real-est person ever. Meeting Taylor was like meeting a long lost best friend?! We talked about my hair color, our nails, and just human stuff it was just enchantingโฆ ๐ญ๐๐ Even though I have never ever been noticed by @taylornation or taylor on basically anywhere, my time came last night, during End Game and I literally lost it.. entirely ๐ญ thank you so much Mama Swift for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime to meet my Queen I am eternally grateful.. the moment Andrea turned to us from another group with these words coming out of her mouth โI was searching for you guysโ, we already started crying.. Not all heros wear capes and Taylor is my hero, iโve never talked about it though I debated to during World Mental Health Day but I actually struggled with severe anxiety and manic depression a lot in the recent few years and Taylor just always felt like a strong pillar of support to me because sheโs just always been there for us and itโs a bond that I think only Swifties will get. Iโve been teased repeatedly since a long time ago and thatโs why my posts kinda toned down a little for being obsessed with Taylor but iโm just gonna f it and love who I wanna love from here on, @bleachedclean13 is my Swiftie account on instagram that iโd just created โฅ๏ธI wouldnโt have wanted it any other way! Except maybe letting Taylor know our names HAHAHAH! TAYLOR IF YOU SEE THIS BY ANY CHANCE AT ALL, Remember our pinky promise? ๐โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ QUEEN TAYLOR I LOVE YOU SO SO SO MUCH And iโll support you forever and always!!! Thank you for such a phenomenal evening have a good rest my dearest @taylorswift โค๏ธ๐ซ
hey @taylorswift how about we finally meet at rep tour Melbourne on the 26th of October? iโll be sitting in level one, aisle 40, row G, seats 1-2! i love you so much ๐
