'Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.'

that Justin has since changed the caption on his 'gram shortly after Taylor's Tumblr post.) “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.”

According to Taylor, she never thought Borchetta would sell the label to Braun. “Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words ‘Scooter Braun’ escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to," she wrote. “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.”

Despite signing off as “sad and grossed out,” Taylor’s post ended on a positive note. “Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create,” she said. “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.

Ha ha That's whatyou get TaylorSwiftPig WeStandWithScooter

Don’t worry Taylor. I’m sure you’re gonna get caught up in the Hollywood downfall. MAGA

That’s probably one of the reasons he did it.

It's business, she was to slow.

Dear taylorswift13 I’m just an older music fan whose father was in the business, but I dearly hope every major singer/songwriter demands YOU GET TO OWN YOUR MUSIC 🙏❤️ DollyParton BarbraStreisand ladygaga PaulMcCartney springsteen eltonofficial Variety TheEllenShow

Well, to be fair UMG burned about a half-century’s worth in that fire.

I'm not a fan but an artist shouldn't be treated like this. This whole situation smacks of the Prince issues years ago.

This how America felt when electoral college gave Trump the election.

I wonder how horrible a human being you need to be to take someone's hard work, and why do you want to steal taylor's music? Evil

Go write a song about it. 🤣🤣🤣

Men suck. They do this all the time. Lie, steal, harass, attack women. Sad part is us normal women have no money at all. Tay has heart brain and millions

She should go make an album with the likes of Rick Rubin ala Dixie Chicks and give her best work to date.

So fucking melodramatic

Why didn't she purchase it?

It’s called capitalism. Now if she wanted to buy that company why didn’t she? Now if she wants the “rights” to that material back that she never owned in the first place she can pay more. If anyone is to blame it is her parents for allowing this contract to be signed at 15.

Love Teylor swift ✌️👑😍

Es tupendo estilo 😍😘💐🌻🌼

Is there anything Taylor can do legally? This is sad to read someone else controls her masters.

Cry baby

Taylor Swift has worked for entire life to become not only a singer and entertainer but above all, a songwriter…this is completely and utterly ridiculous. StandByTaylor

Why didn’t she own her publishing rights to begin with

we stand with you Taylor!!! We love you
