Hey Taylor, @taylorswift

So I don’t know if you even remember me as I know you meet a lot of people! I’m Ryan! We spoke about Sparks Fly and you said I have an amazing smile! Which just makes me melt with joy! You are so freaking kind! It was such an honour and honestly a dream to meet you at the Wembley Reputation show on June 22nd you have no idea!

I have been a huge fan of you and your music for over 8 years and I never thought I would get the chance to meet you, let alone you know who I am, I never was able to give you or your team my letter which I wrote to you and it breaks me that I couldn’t cause I wrote from my heart everything that I knew I wouldn’t be able to say in that short time I had to meet you, I hope one day I will be able to give you that letter and you can read it. I am so thankful that you chose to have my face and video appear on the big screen at your preshow, that to this day fills my heart with so much joy, thank you Taylor 💕 I had the most amazing time seeing you at tour and dancing and singing so loud with my friends and I will never forget it.

I hope you know how much you and your music means to me, you have helped me get through so much in my life including my mother recently passing after loosing her battle with cancer, my mum knew how much your music and you just being yourself helped me get through so many tough situations and I feel like it was almost a sign and something she wanted to happen was for me to meet you 💕When my mum passed away a quote of yours came to mind and stuck with me this whole time

“You are loved even when you feel alone, hang on, it gets easier, and then it gets okay, and then it feels like freedom”

This means so much to me, and just reading this quote has helped me get through each day no matter how hard it has been.

I just want to say that I love you Taylor and I will always stick by your side no mater what happens

Thank you for being you

Love Ryan 💕 xxxxxxxxxxx

I kind of had a long-ass rant on Twitter.

[nogaswift-blog]

scooter braun did not spend his teen years writing music on his bedroom floor. scooter braun did not perform on massive stages for packed out stadiums. scooter braun did not write and produce that award-winning music or direct and create those record-breaking videos. scooter braun did not experience the bullying, hate and struggle that comes with fame. scooter braun did not take time out of his days to meet thousands of fans. scooter braun did not have to go through slut-shaming and public embarrassment because of the personal information shared in this music. scooter braun did not travel the world for promo tours and concert tours. scooter braun did not put his blood, sweat and tears in it. scooter braun did not put his diary on display for the whole world. scooter braun did not sacrifice parts of adolescence and a “regular life” in order to create and release this music. scooter braun did not spend over 13 years putting his everything into this music.

scooter braun does not deserve to own this music. nobody who is not taylor swift deserves to own this music. period.

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
