This is so fuckin sad

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,

💔

You can’t say she isn’t relatable

an actual artist!!!

y’all the lyric video is super soft and pastel and it’s on her stationary in her handwriting and it just feels so PERSONALIZED and HER like we’re about to walk straight into her heart and read not only the next chapter but the whole storybook and wow i just love her so incredibly much-

[lifemakeslovelookhard-tay]

I totally support how Taylor handled the rep era, she did what she needed to do, protected herself, rebuilt her confidence, but I really missed hearing from her and seeing her exploding with complete joy in the front row of award shows and I’m just so happy she’s back in a place where she feels like she can do all of this again. So happy I’m crying

[lifemakeslovelookhard-tay]

when taylor uses you to roast her fans even though she’s lying and some of your theories are correct and you know it

[lifemakeslovelookhard-tay]

this time next week we’ll have a new song to blast in our cars, scream at that top of our lungs, and feel the overall happiness that comes along with taylors music and i am so so so excited and i am never going to get tired of this feeling :,)
