Do you like Taylor Swift?

Are you ok? Not owning masters is very much a thing in the industry, which is now changing. Taylor’s music is very personal to her - she writes it all, about her life, and she started when she was 14 or 15. She obviously viewed her masters as important as her many journals. These aren’t songs written by professional songwriters for her to sing. I get why she wanted ownership.

She was never offered outright ownership. She had to make a deal to give future albums in exchange. She was smart to walk away. Kelly Clarkson is the person who told her she should just re-record them.

From there, she was super clear with her fans the whole time. “I’m doing this for me, so I own my music.” Fans chose to engage. It wasn’t a sneaky plot. It was all out there. Some didn’t like the re-records, and still listened to the older ones. Some prefer the re-records. I am a newer fan and I have never paid for a TS album. The re-records did bring new life to old music, which allowed her to do the eras tour, which fans LOVED. She credits that tour, in this week’s announcement, for her financial ability to buy back her masters.

Anyways… I’m excited for her and hope this changes new artist contracts in the future

I'm just fine. It's her fans who can't see they've been played like marks. But maybe I'm talking to an AI bot. Who knows anymore.

Wow, what a fairy tale ending. You couldn't have scripted it any better. Oh, wait.

It’s not a scam and no one is holding a gun to people’s head, forcing them to buy albums.

Imagine believing any of this. Imagine believing the mafia controlled music industry would ever actually allow this usurping. Y'all are gullible as hell and can’t admit you’ve been duped.

Give me a break please tell us what exactly you think happened?

Imagine hating an artist and thinking she’s duping people and yet going to an anonymous website and angrily typing out posts about it.

Taylor Swift lives free in so many of your heads… It’s hilarious.

Imagine being angry that someone’s making money off their own creations and not letting some pasty talentless industry executives make the bulk of the money off your hard work and talent.

Not a fan of her music, but happy for her that it's back under her control.

That is what pop culture does. It is what businesses do. It is the point of commercials- to live “rent free in our heads” so we buy more crap.

At least I’m fighting back against the brainwashing. Her fans seem to give into it so much they become defenders of her to an extreme.

At least most of them result in good songs (those angsty art school boys are great muses). I CANNOT imagine a single good song about Travis.

Dumb question I know, but is there like an unofficial list of who inspired every TS song?

We should compile one. I'll start: " Dear John" is about John Mayer.

Yes - tons of articles about this. Google is your friend. Not all are about ex/current romantic partners. Some are about other people - friends, enemies, Kanye, her mom, etc.

Do you guys think Taylor is actually mad at Blake Lively or no?

So high school is obviously about Travis because of the “you know how to ball I know Aristotle”
