Taylor Swift and The Men

So no one's replying cause you disagree? Grow some balls!

Aww I know you are.

She wrote, produced and sang these songs when she was 15-16 (I don't know what songs it is about and it doesn't matter). She sold the rights to x and y (names are in her tweet but it doesn't matter cause I'm sure this is common behaviour in that industry). And they kept making money on her songs. However she doesn't work with x and y now. She tried to buy these songs back for 1000 times more than she sold them for (!) ages ago but they didn't want to sell them (obviously value of the songs would grow with her success). Now that she's getting the award for the artist of the decade and doing a Netflix documentary about her music life so far (rings a bell? could it be a netflix series a few of these major stars are doing that P!nk is in too? Anyway..), she wanted to do a medley for AMAs and wanted some of these songs included in the Netflix documentary but they turned it down. The owners of these songs would be the ones making money from this with plays/sales. But still they say no. One can only guess they rather want a gazillion more money from her to give her the rights, cause obviously they figured out one day she'll want them again. However, she doesn't wanna buy it back (yeah they still make A LOT money owning it), she just wants to be able to perform and sing the songs she made. It shouldn't be allowed to be called the music industry because it has so little to do with music and so much to do with money. Disgusting.

And anyone saying this has nothing to do with gender can block and unfriend me and stop being a dumbass. It has everything to do with it, and it has since the first day of the industry's existence. And I can show you at least 15 examples of that 

(I know I should get on Twitter and fight some asshole instead) 

I’m excited for the AMAs speech.

Why P!nk or some other people didn’t stand up for her or commented on it I have no clue. Maybe they thought “welcome to the reality of music industry, people that you thought you knew and you thought were loyal to you will stab you in the back as soon as they get the chance. Sorry you had to learn it the hard way” or they just don’t feel liking getting into that drama themselves. I have no idea. But it sure as hell feels like a normalize behavior that people seem to be ok with.

I don’t know much about Taylor and her music does not speak to me at all. I’d say I “like” a few songs and lines here and there. But what I understand is that she is doing good and she has a gazillion million of people that follow her journey. I don’t really see why she would be that desperate for attention, pretty much exposing herself as someone that would leave you out to the world if you stand in her way. That’s not a fun thing to be known for. Professionally you want to solve the issue with whoever it concerns. But if she likes that people feel sorry for her, maybe🤷‍♀️ 

However, such a classic thing to do by predators. Shushing and threatening in the silent and once someone calls them out on their bullshit, they make you seem like the one that’s crazy because “that’s not what’s said”. And they’d twist the words and find loops.

Seems like they told her she can perform them now. So let’s see if they find a loop hole again; perform whatever you want. Go for it. but you broke the deal, which means no new recordings of the old songs (which she said she was going to do next year).

Whatever honestly my intention was never to get involved in any details, it’s a structural issue I thinj needs to be put in the light and it seems like most Democrats in America are standing up for her and pointing this out. I hope more people do. Taking a side or not. The overall shit needs to be pointed out and it needs to be talked about. Look up and see the bigger picture, and not down wasting focus by getting lost in the details. 

That, and at least that other artists can learn from it and that people talk about it and are open about it so these pure assholes don’t get any jobs in the end 🤷‍♀️ A dystopia for sure cause people would kill for them deals.

what was it?
