Taylor Swift: I'm being barred from doing an American Music Awards retrospective of my career

Variety

In posts to Facebook, Instagram Stories and Twitter Thursday, Swift alleged that music manager Scooter Braun and her former label head Scott Borchetta are blocking her from using her hit songs in a Netflix documentary on her career and later this month when she's honored at the AMAs with the Artist of the Decade Award. “Don’t know what else to do," she said, adding: “Scott Borchetta told my team that they’ll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs next year (which is something I’m both legally allowed to do and looking forward to) and also told my team that I need to stop talking about him and Scooter Braun. I feel very strongly that sharing what is happening to me could change the awareness level for other artists and potentially help them avoid a similar fate. The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you’ll be punished. This is WRONG."
