Hello can you please explain what is jack leopards and the dolphin club? Ty!!
oh yes anon i would love to! 🥰
just to recap the masters theft: S(o)B1, owner of big machine records, taylor's old label, sold her masters to S(o)B2, a person who had bullied her and basically been a POS to her (and others) over the years. it was hard enough for her to not be able to buy them herself, but the fact that he sold her life's work to this particular asshole person was devastating to her. she has said it felt like a major betrayal, especially because she had always felt that SoB1 viewed her as a daughter, but she learned the hard way that he was only ever after the $.
when songs are played in movies or shows or commercials, royalties go to not only the artist but also whoever owns the masters of the record. she said she vetoed many many requests to use her music in other media so the SoBs would not profit.
i'm not sure at what point she realized the loophole about re-recording, but it turns out that an artist can re-record her songs - especially if she wrote them - thereby creating new master copies of the tracks. if the new version is used, royalties do NOT go to whoever owns the original masters. hence the beautiful gift of the (taylor's version)s of her first six albums! she finally owns (or will soon) her life's work, her art, and it's a big Fuck You to the assholes. she's also paving the way for other artists to have more rights and control over their work.
there were some legal limitations about how much time could pass before she was allowed to re-record her albums. reputation just recently passed that time limit, but back in 2020 it was still too early. but it seems like she really really wanted lwymmd to be featured in an episode of killing eve (she gushed about loving the show on an episode of ellen). so yet another loophole was discovered - if a different band covered a song she wrote, she could grant permission for the cover to be used in a show without any royalties going to the bastards. so a cover of lwymmd by a mysterious, unheard-of group called jack leopards & the dolphin club appeared at the end of an episode. it didn't stay a mystery for long though ;) credits for the track said it was produced by nils sjöberg, taylor's pseudonym on this is what you came for (the song performed by calvin harris and rihanna that she wrote). fans also figured out that the cover was sung by her brother austin! (love that!! and i love his voice, it sounds so good!! also fans realized that the cover art for the single is a picture of austin as a little kid!) so she could be like "who me? wink wink!" while giving the SBs the middle finger.
the moral of this story is: do not fuck with Taylor Karma Swift

Do you guys think there's a reason the Jack Leopards & The Dolphin Club cover comes up when you search niceboy ed? I wonder if it's because of shared listeners or something else.
