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.

“this chill ran through my body. I realized he is so two-faced” you can literally see her going through that and it makes me so angry.

“The butterfly on his torso is based on and old French prison tattoo inspired by Papillon. Traditionally it would mean the wearer is a thief – something to do with the double meaning of ‘Je vole’, which translates as both ‘I steal’ and ‘I fly’.” – Liam Sparkes.

Thoughts about Ariana Grande coming out through her song? Is she even bi? Why do I have this feeling that she’s queer baiting?

I like her music, but I don’t trust her PR tactics since Scooter is involved. I’m not definitively saying she isn’t because she obviously could be, but I wouldn’t put it past them to try and generate press this way.

Harry is really just at a George Micheal art exhibition looking soft and sleepy with floppy hair and pink and black nails like……….

Remember how in 2014 and 2015 people would go around and say that Harry was only painting his nails to raise awareness for domestic violence (like good cause but really?) and he’d always show up to one direction events with only one nail painted and really chipped nail polish like he had to remove it before going out to pr events anyways my point is Harry has literally grown so much and I’m so happy to see him be as comfortable as he is rn and there is personal growth but I’m also really happy that he has a management team that is so supportive of him even with something as simple as nail polish it’s part of Harry’s expression he does it for himself and it’s really amazing to see that and recognize it
