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 Swifts 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.

The ‘father of talk radio’.
This is all part of the fallout from last November when Swift decided to jump ship from Big Machine Records, the start-up company that nurtured her career since she was a teenager, in favor of Universal Music Group.
Look at it like a marriage. Swift divorced her first hubby who saw her through all her ups and downs and supported her career (Big Machine Records) in favor of a sugar daddy (Universal) yet still acts like she's married to her first hubby (BMR). She still has the house keys and lets herself in whenever she wants to.
Without Swift, Big Machine is nothing. Taylor Swift was Big Machine. Along comes Scotty Braun and Carlyle Group with $300 million.
And they bought the house.
Swift is basically saying, "I left you for a richer man but you're still supposed to treat me like your wife!"
Everyone just go listen to The Man, please.
If a guy (like Prince) fights back against oppression from Big Music, hes admired for his shrewdness.
The Trump Curse rears its beautiful head once again...
Am I the last FR Swiftie then?
