Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be rerecording my music before I’m allowed to next year.” “I’ve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. “Guys-it’s been announced recently that the American Music Awards will be honoring me with the Artist of the Decade Award at this year’s ceremony,” she wrote.

Remember when Taylor Swift called out celebrity manager Scooter Braun in a lengthy Tumblr post for purchasing her masters and bullying her? Well, Taylor went back for round two (and three)…and honestly, it’s a lot. The buyer is an investment fund not affiliated with Taylor.
