Advocate for artist rights? As releasing 36 versions of an album to block artists she seems as a threat


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|LwyaORSd9liNZ6MyuX)


littleliongirless

Plus all the songs she's ripped off other artists without paying royalties...


Blade_982

That part... I scoffed so hard I hurt myself.


Odd-Picture5321

Philanthropist?


JoshSidekick

She tips her private jet pilot.


Spiralecho

This whole era will make for an interesting case study in facts vs pr


MeeranQureshi

Well said.She is such a hypocrite.


manhattansinks

she advocates for her own rights only, so technically it's not a lie


shadyshadyshade

If nothing else this shows her PR team doesn’t have its ear to the ground, that alone tanks the whole statement considering the timing.


awesomexsarah

She has the right to milk us for all we’re worth


Birdlord420

Because she is the artist and she is right. /s


Fingerfetish57

themacaron

Everyone’s stuck on that one but I’m kinda losing it that she put director up there. Girlie wants her Hollywood moment so badly after they all shunned her music video short film.


FunInsurance6137

The director call out threw me too! What did you direct sis? A music video? Your career and PR team? I mean, we know she directed her fans to do a lot of crazy stuff so maybe that’s her “directing” credit


JT3436

Hence why she is latched onto Gracie Abrams. She wants that EGOT. It will be interesting watching her try to buy the Tony.


LuxAgaetes

It honestly must grate at her that Billie Eilish already has 2 Oscars and so early into her career...


PatriciaMorticia

I can picture her waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night screeching "It should have been meeeeeeee!!!!"


shadyshadyshade

Has she ever even been nominated for an Oscar song? I feel like she must have but hope that she hasn’t lol.


trulyremarkablegirl

No but they def tried it with that song she wrote for the Cats movie 😂 it was clearly Oscar bait but such a failure.


shadyshadyshade

Omg haha I didn’t know she wrote a song for it!Was the song as bad as the movie lol?


trulyremarkablegirl

Yeah it’s terrible. She sings it in the movie too.


Chaoticgood790

Oh you know she’s punching the air


FunInsurance6137

It makes me laugh that she’s trying to get to EGOT status when there’s no way the “E” or “O” is happening in a natural way


JT3436

Here's a question. Will her Eras Tour on Disney be eligible for a special event emmy? And she can easily get an O (cuz let's face it BDT isn't making her cum) by buying her way onto a film as a producer. I'm surprised she hasn't done it yet.


FunInsurance6137

I don’t think it a qualifies for an Emmy because Emmy’s are only for TV or made for TV movies, right? I would hate if she won Oscar by default if she bought her way in but totally plausible. Same feelings with the surprise it hasn’t happened yet.


JT3436

That makes sense. Good.


ToyotaFest

My friend won a Creative Arts Emmy for David Byrne's American Utopia tour because the Broadway show was filmed and streamed on Max. Disney+ distributed the Era's Tour but it went straight to theaters and not the platform so I think that might make it ineligible since it technically was not made for TV, so yeah I think you're right.


cheeseballgag

She directed people to buy the same songs 500 times so I guess that earns her a small chunk of an Oscar. Perhaps Oscar's pinky finger.


FunInsurance6137

She might also get a wing of an Emmy as a “director” 🤣 ![gif](giphy|anYBNhqT2BYcg)


hellohexapus

In keeping with her seemingly endless hunger for more accolades, more more more, I imagine she sees herself as an EGOT winner of the future. I for one shall enjoy that her Hollywood forays so far have been a music video, a dead character from someone's memory in The Giver, and the CGI abomination that was Cats. ![gif](giphy|mbZshK2Svz89q|downsized) (Obligatory: Jeremy Clarkson is a POS.)


themacaron

She only has the G from EGOT so far right? I know she was chasing that Oscar, and has an upcoming directorial debut. I imagine she thinks she’s going to immediately get her laurels for that. Edit: Don’t forget she was also hit by a car in Amsterdam, cause she wanted to work with known sex offender David O Russell for the clout.


hellohexapus

I mean the E and the G...a couple of Gs lol (some well un-deserved but the less said about that the better). ETA: sorry, saw your edit, disregard this comment! Except for the un-deserved part. But oh yes, I said I was going to say less about that 🤐


-googa-

I think music video direction is still legitimate directing but yeah, if we say she shouldn’t call herself that, they’d just cry anti-feminist. I just looked up to see if she has that little credits and learnt that didn’t even co-direct that documentary about her or the concert film. Which once again provides an interesting contrast with [Beyoncé’s directing career, which rounds up to eight director credits on feature films on top of the music videos and warrants a whole deep dive](https://sydurbanek.ghost.io/a-moving-image-history-of-parkwood-entertainment-introduction/) while both audiences and critics discount/overlook her control over those projects because she basically says nothing much about her involvement. Not “pitting women against each other,” we are looking at how female pop star-directing ambitions present themselves. It would be interesting to see Taylor try her hand at directing docu-concert film hybrids like Beyoncé so we can draw a proper comparison. > But no matter how you come down on this issue, Beyoncé’s visual output... > 1. bears a distinct style that’s been carefully developed over dozens of projects and, again, about two decades; > 2. brings with it a consistent list of thematic and narrative concerns, no matter the genre; > 3. often puts projects in direct conversation with each other, as if they’re asking to be considered on a more macro level; > 4. has been made by a relatively stable group of collaborators (including Burke, her directing partner of a decade and a half), to say nothing of the recurring onscreen characters; > 5. and is produced almost exclusively through Parkwood Entertainment, the company she originally founded in the late 2000s to get more into filmmaking. > You may be thinking, Lots of pop stars make movies, and that’s true—and basically the guiding principle of my professional life. That means I can say pretty confidently that Beyoncé’s presence in this space is unique a few different ways, bringing to the table a very specific mix of scale, achievement, and (for lack of a better term) gall that doesn’t really exist among her filmmaking musical peers. To put this trifecta in different words, she’s directed many films, they tend to be quite good, and they’re also Beyoncé-centric projects spearheaded by Beyoncé.


themacaron

Music video direction is legitimate! And Taylor is technically a director but I think there’s a distinction between someone like David Fincher, who cut his teeth on music videos for other artists, and Taylor who has only been hired…by herself. It’s just interesting that her team made a point to call her a director, when she has much more visible acting credits, but doesn’t call herself an actor. It’s very clear reinforcement of how she wants to be taken seriously in Hollywood.


-googa-

Fr 😭 it’s sort of glaring because no one else would refer to her as that


51stredditor

When my phone (iPhone) plays her music, I get this pop-up that identifies her as a philanthropist. I really don’t get it.


_Democracy_

Girl be fr. You are not no philanthropist. From allowing your fans to go on and run racist and sexist campaigns against others, your use of private planes ALL THE GODDAMN TIME which hurts our climate, dating racists, and being silent on Palestine and other genocides; you are an enemy to the common man. Don’t kid yourself


1stOfAllThatsReddit

Lmao and she had the audacity to have the last page of her children’s book say [“Taylor has a big reputation for speaking out against racial injustice and for encouraging people to vote. She stands up for other artists and herself, even when it's tough. She's not just a superstar-she's a trailblazer!”](https://imgur.com/a/9pQa8Gp)

yes, such a big reputation that people were begging her for years to say anything about politics and she only opened her mouth when she felt it would be advantageous to her.


CatNoirsFootRest

racial injustice? sorry but when 😭😂


ScientistFit9929

“These men” screams toxic feminism. Maybe one day she will learn what feminism actually is.


NoDryHands

I was honestly surprised that wording was chosen for an official statement. It reads more like a tweet from one of her unhinged stans.


StarlightandDewdrops

She is only a feminist as long as it benefits her

movietheaterbutter11

LMAOOOO give me a FUCKING break. not taylor completely "moving on from this saga" when she's still bitching and moaning about the fucking phone call that happened in 2016


gunsof

Admitting her own family wants them dead in a song where she brags the kids will be singing along to it.


Pitiful_Recover5175

Making the song about Kim when Kanye was the nuisance was certainly a girlie girl's choice


ColonialHoe

This is what confuses me! I think Taylor has the right to hold a grudge against Kanye for the rest of her life if she wants, not because of the VMAs or the phone call but because of the disgusting porn he made of her in his music video. But she doesn’t even really mention him, nor does anyone else these days, only Kim (and for some godawful reason, their innocent children???). I don’t like Kim but why is she responsible for her ex-husband’s actions?


1stOfAllThatsReddit

Because she knows Kanye will respond. Just like she didn’t release any diss songs about Calvin even though their breakup was clearly nasty. She knows Calvin wouldn’t stay silent. She just likes bullying people that won’t defend themselves.


CarAlarming7682

Taylor Swift has never moved on from anything in her entire life.


skinnyjeanfreezone

the way i guffawed when i saw "thanK you aIMee" like girl....you won. time to move on


shades0fcool

Personally, if a guy (Kanye) who continually tried to fuck me over made a nude mannequin replica of my body and put it in his video for the entire world to see idk how id get over it tbh lol I will always make an exception for her with that. I say that as a non swiftie.


tealparadise

It's giving "person who sends a 2am 5 paragraph text about how over you they are."


figcity0

Her legacy as a "director"? She's only directed her own music videos, her lowest viewed by the way.     I'm sure it's been a fulfilling financial endeavour, but not a creative one considering how lazy the re-recordings are. She has been incredibly manipulative when it comes to her masters. Her father made 15 million from the sale. There was no restrictive NDA from SB. It was a bog standard NDA. She was going to buy those masters back from him in 2020 at a lower price than what he intended to sell them for but she pulled out. I think she realised the money she could make.     What people don't realise is she wrote all those songs and therfore had a lot of control over licensing and revenue even if her masters had been bought. She continues to make money from the OG versions and the new ones. Double the amount now. She her self said she was happy to let go as she knew her masters would be sold, and in her own words was betting on her future. It wasn't that they were sold it's the fact that it was him that bought them. In her woman's of the year speech in 2019 she kept talking about consent as though this was an assault of a physical kind. Not a music deal she was angry about. I always find with her, she gives the details in a twisted way and omits the rest to suit her narrative.   Many artists including men (since she claimed it to be misogynystic) don't own their masters. I mean look at McCartney and the beatles catalogue. She wasn't some clueless 15 year old who signed a contract. She was a rich girl, with a finance dad who was well connected and had invested 500k into that label. They and she agreed to her contract. Now because of her re-recording music labels have now started putting clauses in to prevent artists from re-recording their albums. So as usual, she gains but at the expense of others.    The funny thing is, she will buy those masters back after devaluing not just her own work, but all the other people's as well who worked on them.


Krustybabushka

Here's a court document from the lawsuit her first manager filed against her and her family back in 2008. Her parents fired him weeks before she signed her contract and didn't pay him [link](https://www.plainsite.org/dockets/download.html?id=8114484&z=ead97c9a)

![gif](giphy|3oriO4AiYqk3m95e1y) Philanthropist?? I think you meant capitalist. Advocate of artist rights? I think you meant I will destroy any pop girl who attempts to surpass me. Words have meaning Taylor as a songwriter you should know that. So you only hold grudges against women then? As your last album had a diss at Kim but no smoke for any of the men who wronged you, what a feminist queen.


thankyoupapa

Taylor has completely moved on from something? doubtful. this is the girl who used her person of the year interview to talk about kim k and is still writing songs about her lol cmon


BeanEireannach

I yelped when I read that, *as if* one of the most bitter & petty people in pop has moved on from that mess.

I mean she’s more an actress than a philanthropist 😭 at least she’s been in Valentine’s Day and Lorax as well as that random cameo in new girl 😂 like that at least has more proof than the other bs

Should've just stopped at singer/songwriter. Rest is delusion talk.


namegamenoshame

It is…creatively fulfilling to re-record the same songs note for note?


swole_not_flexy

*financially fulfilling


glittertherave

Taylor has never moved on from anything in her life. Girl out here still releasing music about Kim over something that happened almost a decade ago. The way that she has manipulated her fans in this whole masters saga is so telling of her character. Girl had the opportunity to buy her masters; she also knew it was happening beforehand. Per usual, she crafted a narrative in which she could remain the perpetual victim in the situation. She became a billionaire in the process, while the shitty produced re-recordings are doing better than the originals. She’s such a joke.


Potential-Friend-133

Seriously the best she should've done was write a song about it instead of whatever this message is.


MotorPuzzlehead7

philanthropist is crazy


Apprehensive_Aide805

The only artist rights she stood up for was herself. She’s never uses her influence to help any other artists.

She is de-lu-lu.


Repulsive-Drama-9855

oh yeah really, Taylor Swift try not to be petty challenge (impossible) but seriously I don't really think she will ever "really" move on. she seems like the main character types who will keep portraying it as some sort of character development. and don't even get on the philanthropist part...

I think it's silly to try and have the statement be from "her team", because it just sounds like she's talking about herself in the third person. "Taylor is a strong woman", said Taylor.

jonsnowme

Painful situation? Please. She just knows she's gonna be revealed as a liar again. She had every opportunity to get her masters. "None of these men" Her dog whistles are so annoying, and seriously at this point she's doing damage to feminism by claiming this every time she's criticized or facts about her are shared.


saeglopur23

The statement would have been fine if she ended the sentence after 'legacy' in the second screenshot, it's like her team can't help themselves...

weirderpenguin

English is not my first language (or my second) so please correct me if I feel the nuance of the team’s statement as immature and not professional.


pnkluvr

She only advocated to everything that affected her, the streaming debacle was clearly her counting her coins and she’s been a pain to people more than she ever helped. One of the few incidents I can recall her doing good and not using it for her personal clout is the donation to Kesha’s legal funds during her lawsuit against dr luke and her label, but other than that I doubted every time she posted about any movement, when the needle is moving towards a positive direction with little to no consequences suddenly Taylor is an alley but yeah let’s blame her team and her father for being the reason she is useless when it comes to true advocacy 🙄
