Let Taylor perform her music.

This is DISGUSTING and UNJUST. It is HER music. HER life. Her songs are based on HER experiences and for her to not be allowed to perform her songs is unfair and uncalled for. For @taylorswift, it probably feels like an essential part of her is being ripped away and my heart breaks for her. 

I have been a Taylor Swift fan since I heard the first chords of “Love Story.” Her songs have guided me through all the hard moments of my life. I can’t believe that this is happening to her right now. All she wants is to be able to perform HER OWN music. 

Her music is her life’s work and it is her BASIC RIGHT to be able to perform whatever songs she wants. I can’t believe that they are denying her this. I can’t believe that her performing her OWN songs is even in question. It shouldn’t be debated. HER MUSIC IS HER OWN. 

I don’t understand how people can do this to a person. Taylor is not only a superstar, but she is also a HUMAN BEING. She has feelings, emotions, a heart, and right now she is desperate and hurting. She has done so much for her fans, it is now our job to do everything we can for her. 

We love you, Taylor. We will always stand by you. 

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.

Taylor

LOVER

Okay, so I didn't want to post about Lover right away because I had to listen to it on repeat for a week to finally form enough thoughts to write a post about it. For a week my brain has basically just been constant exclamations marks about how UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING this album is. Everything about it is perfection. For me, though, it's the lyrics that just touch my heart every time I listen to them. The metaphors, the romance, the VULNERABILITY. I study English-Writing at university and let me just say that the writing on Lover is what I STRIVE FOR. The words transport me to a different place. So instead of dancing in my bedroom, I'm slow dancing with my imaginary lover, skipping down 16th Avenue, or letting the daylight shine on my face. Thank you Taylor for this album. It has had a special place in my heart from the very first listen. 🥰💕
