Miss Grand Portugal 2022 National Costume

My national costume is a representation of the Tagus nymphs, called "Tágides" by André Resende and popularized by our greatest poet and father of the Portuguese language: Luís Vaz de Camões. Famous for being the Portuguese Shakespeare. He wrote the national epic "Os Lusíadas" back in the sixteenth century when these mythological creatures would inspire him to write down the biggest achievements of the Portuguese people.

The epopee describes in verse Vasco da Gama's trip to India across the oceans. It was the first time such trip happened and the Portuguese navigators where pioneers to the discoveries.

Camões asks on behalf of the Portuguese people protection of the nymphs and asks for strength to overcome the dangers they might face alone in the ocean (induction of the church in saying that the ocean is where the world ended and monstrous beings existed there) and with delight to the nymphs they will spread the great deed with reference to the muses.

The traditional Portuguese ship named Caravela Portuguesa (part of my national costume) is still today a symbol for this period in Portuguese history. The epic poem talks about the Lusitanian history regarding the conquests of African colonies and some in Asia, showing the great power of the Portuguese who valued their great Kings and when great warriors died in battles.

The "Tágides" live in the Tagus river by Lisbon, our beautiful capital, and 450 years later they're protecting me in this journey to Miss Grand International 2022 held in Indonesia, therefore I am bringing you a bit of my country - Portugal - with the reference to them :)

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.
