This song is so beautiful! It completely captures the magic of the Christmas spirit! I think I have found my new favorite Christmas song!

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.

I AM OBSESSED!!

I can’t believe it’s been 11 years since Fearless was released! This is the album that made me become a Swiftie and I am so thankful for that! Taylor has been by my side when no one else was. Thank you Taylor for everything you have done for me!

I can’t believe it’s been two years since reputation was released! It seems like just yesterday that I went to Target to get the rep magazines. The rep era was also the first time I went to both shows in Philly and I will never forget those magical memories. Happy 2 years of reputation!

I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since 1989 was released! Clean means so much to me and I constantly think about her speech from the 1989 tour. Always remember that walking through a lot of rainstorms gets you clean

I can’t believe it’s been 9 years since Speak Now was released! This album means the world to me! It has helped me through countless panic attacks and lonely nights and will always hold a special place in my heart

Happy 13 years of Taylor! I am so thankful for Taylor coming into my life 11 years ago. Without her I don’t know how I would’ve made it through all of the hardships life has thrown at me. Thank you @taylorswift for being the one constant in my life!

In honor of world mental health day I want to show my support for anyone who suffers with a mental illness. Always remember your anxieties and anything you feel is ok. Never let anyone make you feel like you are less worthy because of your mental illness. I believe we are all warriors and though some days might feel like they are too much, and you feel like giving up you are strong enough to make it through the hardest of time. Your scars and everything you have been through are not something to be ashamed of. They show your bravery to keep going. Always remember how strong and brave you are.

Sorry I disappeared for awhile! So much has happened since I last posted! I love how much Taylor has been doing and so many people have been noticed! I will be a lot more active next week since I have a week off :). Can we talk about the fact that this kitty looks so similar to my little love

Do you remember the 28th night of September?
