The year I found true joy

[jessej319-lover]

We met in 2009. After being a fan for three years and you saving my life, I made a scrapbook for you and gave it to your dad. It was a compilation of our Swift Secrets... all the things your fans wanted to tell you but didn’t know how.

You let me cry on you and thanked me for making an effort in putting something like that together for you. I never understood your thankfulness for me because I was always 10x more thankful for you. As I told you that day, I was living my worst life and you pulled me out of it. You hugged me so tight and told me you were so happy we got to meet. I still cry reliving this day, ten years later.

And now here we are. I’m still here. I’m still me. I’m just happier. It was YOU that showed me all my sadness was temporary. It was YOU that helped me move past my darkness. I grew up, so did you but I never got to update you on where I am now. I’m a wife, and more importantly a mama to two toddlers who love you like family. When you said to point to the pictures and tell them your name, I did and I do.

These babies are here because you cared about me when few did. I hope one day I can show you what you helped create. Rules or no rules, I’ll be here for another 13 years... and then 13 more and then 13 more after that. Thank you for letting me cry on you, for letting me celebrate you, for helping me meet my best friend in the world, for giving a shit about some 21 year old kid who was older than you and yet looked up to everything you stood for. You’ve changed my life and maybe one day I can catch you up on all the new things you’ve missed in ten years. I’ll stay @taylorswift 💗

Dear Taylor thank you for this song, it struck a cord with me I spent the first two years of my life in the hospital battling a liver disease, I still fight that battle at 23 years old spending my life in and out of hospital , this song “soon it’ll get better” those words I’ve heard my entire life and to hear it in a song made me sob so hard I had to pull over on the highway, everyone says omg this song was made for me all the time, but seriously Taylor this song sums up my 23 years of life. @taylorswift @taylornation

When Taylor sang “ I’ve loved you for 3 summers now, honey, but I want em’ all” I felt that, Happy 3 summers Hunny @taylorswift @taylornation

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
