100% the truth... I have always been in @taylorswift’s corner and ALWAYS will be!! One thing is common she rises and rises again stronger and stronger. This woman had to ALWAYS provide an explanation for her work, ALWAYS had to defend herself... I don’t ever remember a time where people just simply let her be herself. I love this woman dear to my heart. From the very beginning. I love who she is and everything she stands for. Being a celebrity I can imagine is stressful but having to defend yourself or your work or your choices 24/7 has to be even harder. @taylorswift shows the true meaning of strength, but where does it end. When do she get a break? When do Taylor get to be Taylor where she don’t have to explain or defend herself. A day where nobody picks her apart & just appreciate’s her work. I pray every night that she is able to find within her the strength to keep going & that us women lead by her example. That no matter how hard people try to break you or make you feel small or manipulate you or make you feel that your success or hard work isn’t something to be celebrated or they try take credit for it that you fight and get louder until your point is proven and you get it, you pick each other up and help advocate for each other especially us woman because NOBODY is entitled to take those things from you especially a man who feels privileged enough over you to take those things. @taylorswift if by any chance you read this, my heart is with you I wish I could give you a hug and tell you that your not alone but all you have to do is log online and see the beautiful fandom that you created & let us have our turn to help you get back up like you have helped us because together no matter how big or how small we stand together and we help each other up. We got this beautiful, I appreciate & I love you ❤️

Fuck you Scott. I wasn't gonna preorder any of Taylor's albums, but just as a big fuck you, I think I'll preorder one album per paycheck :)

After this, I said "I'm going to the Big Machine" instead of "Pectoral Machine" 😅😁😂 What a swiftie day! Lol

I heard on an entertainment news story last night that Taylor's old albums have gone up in sales significantly (not normal numbers) and I can't believe how stupid people are. Way to feed into the pig Scooby's hands and let him make a big profit right off the hop.

[saaaaaant]

I can not believe that this is real, but I'm sorry to open your eyes I know it's very strong for all of us who have grown up with Taylor's music.

She wrote, worked and produced everything that is now being taken from her but what hurts me the most is that all the feelings that she tried to express through her lyrics are taking away from her.

I feel a lump in my throat saying that it is Scott betrayed her, that he did not give a shit what she did for Big Machine. She trusted him and he only saw the stupid face

But It is no time to lament but to really demonstrate to Taylor that we support her in any aspect ❤️ Stream now your song #ME! and #YouNeedToCalmDown and in August 23th buy #Lover 🌈🌈🌈

@taylorswift I've always been and I'll be with you no matter what happens I love you too ❤️

I never new how this industry worked. I always thought what taylor wrote was her. I never thought of how an overpowering figure can claim someone’s life, work or art and then just give it away.

She faught so hard to claim back her life’s work. I couldn’t imagine sometime taking my university degree; something 4 years in the making. Imagine it being 13 years + of your life.

It’s a cruel system. I stand with Taylor. I hope she can get out.

You know what to do Scooter. What Scott should have done.

Imagine calling someone who is angry, heart-broken and confused at the fact that their LIFES WORK is in the hands of such a controlling individual who has no value for talent and creativity; that has simply informed her friends, family and fans of what is happening, dramatic. If you trusted someone with over 13 years of hard work, blood, sweat, tears, experience, growth and heartbreak, just to have them give it to a man who has expressed their disinterest/feelings for you multiple times in the past, who has bullied you on multiple occasions, I don’t think you’d see a small rant as ‘dramatic’.

We stand with @taylorswift

Taken from the BMR Wikipedia discussing Spotify... He knew her musical impact, and didn’t care. Shame.

An open letter to Taylor Swift...

To Taylor Swift, Taylor Nation and Big Machine Records,

I am writing to let you know that I will not be purchasing tickets to the reputation tour. This is a decision I have spent hours thinking about and I a decision I am far from happy about. I’m 25, work hard, but most importantly in this, I am a massive Taylor Swift fan. I first heard your music in 2006, saw you live for the first time in 2011. I’ve been to 5 shows in 4 countries over the last 11 years. I’ve bought every album on release day, purchased magazines just for interviews with you in them. I’ve sat up to 5am watching award shows, was left speechless when Kanye interrupted at the 2009 VMAs. My point is, I’m a fan, a real fan, I’ve been here from the start and I have to say this is the first time in 11 years that I’ve been left disappointed by being a fan.

You see my issue isn’t with you, or reputation, because it is in fact my favourite album so far. My issue is with the ticket pricing for the tour. Tickets that range from €74.50 right up to €721.65 for Croke park in Dublin. I work a full time job but simply can not afford to spend hundreds of pounds on tickets for one night in a venue that holds 73,500 people. Essentially meaning that I could pay hundreds of pounds to stand so far away from you that I’m not even able to see you on that stage. Is this fair when the point of Taylor Swift tix was to get tickets into the hands of the true fans? Fans like me? Like hundreds of others who simply can not afford to attend the reputation tour? I know I am not the only person in this situation and I’m not the only fan who isn’t happy about the pricing.

I am writing this to let you know that it is not too late to change your ticketing prices. It isn’t too late to get the tickets into the hands of those like me who have been here from day 1, who have supported you through everything. I ask that you reconsider. That you take time to understand that the average working person can not afford that much money to see you live. I am of course not asking for free tickets, but tickets that are reasonably priced. Tickets I can afford.

I have no doubt in my mind that this tour will be just as big and successful as all your previous tours and I deeply regret that I will not be part of it unless ticketing prices are addressed.

 All my love

Hannah

I love you @taylorswift​, I will always stand by you. I have since 2006.

I was sad to hear you were leaving Big Machine Records last year, but now I’m glad you did. Scott Borchetta is a coward.

I strongly believe in karma and “Maybe I got mine but you’ll all get yours”. So Scooter, Justin, K*nye, and Scott will all get what karma will serve.

I love you Taylor ❤️

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
