You can’t spell disappointment without men

My favorite comment on Scooby’s post

[long-live-the-swifties]

I wish these rich white men would stop fucking with her

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,

💔

REBLOG TO MEET TAYLOR THIS ERA

[long-live-the-swifties]

A concept

Taylor puts on a concert with a band and dancers but no back up singers because the back up singers are the fans singing along with her 🤷‍♀️ something to think about

@taylorswift #swifties #swiftiesaresingers

[long-live-the-swifties]

Please tag Taylor

So October 19 will be my 15th birthday and @taylorswift has a concert in Australia which I obviously can’t go to so I was hoping that you guys could help me get the word to @taylorswift to see if she could sing the song Fifteen for me. I know that it’s a long stretch but I would appreciate any help.

Thanks and have a lovely Taylor filled day!!!

[long-live-the-swifties]

🤯

“the legend of how you disappeared” was performed the same night as “why she disappeared.” we love past era thematic parallels.

[long-live-the-swifties]

“The Reputation Stadium Tour will be a flop” they said

“Taylor Swift has lost all of her fans” they said

WE ARE STILL HERE SO TAKE THAT!

We love you forever @taylorswift

UM CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW PRETTY THE STADIUM LOOKED TONIGHT❗️

I was just singing along to Tied Together With A Smile and I accidentally sang “he leaves you out like a pony in the rain” wth does that even mean?

@taylorswift

[long-live-the-swifties]

I’m sorry for this

My dad told me a couple weeks ago that “I can’t do anything right” He was mad and apologized but sometimes I think he’s right

[long-live-the-swifties]

Has anyone ever listened to Babe with only one headphone in and it like only plays half of the background vocals? It’s really trippy btw🤔
