Taylor Swift has found a friend in Elizabeth Warren after revealing that she is still at war with Scooter Braun and his Big Machine compadre Scott Borchetta.
Find out why the Presidential candidate is speaking up and out to defend the ‘Lover’ below.
Unfortunately, @TaylorSwift13 is one of many whose work has been threatened by a private equity firm. They’re gobbling up more and more of our economy, costing jobs and crushing entire industries. It’s time to rein in private equity firms—and I’ve got a plan for that. https://t.co/r2UD4CT1Ba

Taylor revealed that she is no longer able to perform her old material as it is now owned by Braun and Borchetta who teamed up to acquire her catalog with help from the private equity firm Carlyle.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez feels the same way.
Private equity groups’ predatory practices actively hurt millions of Americans.
Their leveraged buyouts have destroyed the lives of retail workers across the country, scrapping 1+ million jobs. Now they’re holding @taylorswift13’s own music hostage.
They need to be reigned in. https://t.co/mSVeH718Hn

Awww. Guess who won’t get my vote. Lol
Troll
Taylor not my cup of tea but this is important. If it can happen to her it can very well happen to our faves or that of other talented musicians – past or present- who have been kept at bay from doing anything even releasing music. Remember the industry runs off of “politics “ other than business for money. Artist from all genres need to be careful what they sign and be sure of their rights and demands before signing s***.
Uhm….the little nazi girl had the chance to buy her masters and she didn’t. I don’t feel sorry for her ?♂️
Taylor is trying to be slick here. She claims she was not given the opportunity to buy her masters but that is BS. The truth is she wants her masters and does not want to pay for it.
RECEIPTS / PROOF:
Taylor left big machine records label in 2018 for UMG. In 2018 billboard stated: “ UMG is still actively pursuing the purchase of Big Machine, which owns Swift’s first six albums, sources say, though add that the Nashville label is still in play. ”
That means she wrongly assumed her new label’s desire to purchase Big Machine Records and now this is the end result. If UMG’s plans to buy Big Machine Records went through then Taylor would have full access to her masters and not have to pay her old label anything.
Taylor is lying when she says she was not given the chance to buy her old masters. The truth is she signed with UHG on the pretense they were going to buy out her old label and grant her access to the old masters and also new her deal includes ownership to all her new masters. Well, only part of the deal came to fruition so shut it Taylor and stop whining to the media with your victim act!
I actually feel kind of bad for her this time. If there is anything Taylor loves and can rely on it’s her music. And if Taylor’s deal was that bad, imagine the type of leverage other artists have that aren’t independent. Little to none.
People have to be careful because the same machine that creates you can also break you.
The same Liz Warren who backed illiterate financial actress, Suze Orman, after the latter had ruined people’s lives via an overcharged “debit card”, incitement to buy worthless gold, and urging to buy property that ended in foreclosures and her telling victims “there is nothing wrong with being a renter all your life”??? Hmmm …
