Pop superstar left-wing activist Taylor Swift has been accused of whipping up her fan base in a calculated way that is endangering the employees of her old recording label, which is currently embroiled in a bitter feud with the singer. Big Machine Records said that it was attempting to privately resolve its ongoing dispute when the singer decided on Thursday to air her grievances to her millions of social media followers. What followed is a war of words that has escalated to dramatic effect in less than a day.

“Despite our persistent efforts to find a private and mutually satisfactory solution, Taylor made a unilateral decision last night to enlist her fanbase in a calculated manner that greatly affects the safety of our employees and their families,” the company said in a statement to media outlets.

....

She also claims that Big Machine owners Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have denied Netflix access to her old songs or performance footage for a documentary that the streamer is making on her life.

....

“As Taylor Swift’s partner for over a decade, we were shocked to see her Tumblr statements yesterday based on false information. At no point did we say Taylor could not perform on the AMAs or block her Netflix special. In fact, we do not have the right to keep her from performing live anywhere,” the company said.

"On Thursday, Taylor Swift fired off an angry statement on Twitter and other platforms, accusing the owners of Big Machine of denying her permission to perform a medley of her old songs at the upcoming American Music Awards, where she will be honored as Artist of the Decade."

She turned into a diva in short order. How long until the paparazzi gets pantsless crotch shots of her?

Wonder if “perform live..” is the issue? Maybe she was going to lip-synch some of her performance?

She must have run out of ex boyfriends to crap on so she is going after her old record label. She’ll have a song out about this within two weeks

She's playing the "men are taking advantage of a poor little girl" card. Truth is, the rights to her music were sold in accordance with contracts she signed. Nothing personal, just business.

Prince and John Fogerty spent significant portions of their entire careers fighting the same battle.

Bingo. She is getting older and is having a sudden metoo bout.

We can’t say the managers of these divas had it not coming, promoting pedos and what not, now they have monster kids on their hands.

I am going to side with Taylor on this one. Those record execs sound like a bunch of creeps and the language of their letter is emotionally manipulative.

I don’t consider Taylor artist of the decade though.

What’s a Taylor Swift?

She's an extremely popular 29 year old singer. Forbes estimated her net worth at $360 million last June. She got woke, but she is not going broke.

My younger son was fully into Swift...until she chose to tell her fan base that they were neanderthals.

So now she just doesn’t sound as good, and he listens to Rush.

Worked out well!

I was one of Tay's very first fans.

Going all the way back to 2006 when we were Teenagers.

Tear Drops on My Guitar indeed.
