The ongoing drama between Taylor Swift, Scooter Braun, and Big Machine Label co-founder Scott Borchetta continues to unfold, with no signs of resolution in sight. On Thursday, Taylor Swift, 29, released a harsh Tumblr post accusing Braun, 38, and Borchetta, 57, of blocking her from performing her old hits at the upcoming American Music Awards (AMAs) later this month.

In her post, Swift revealed that she had been planning to perform a medley of her past hits during the show, but Borchetta and Braun had now told her she could not perform her older songs on television. They claimed that doing so would be considered re-recording her music before she is permitted to do so next year. Swift emphasized her frustration, sharing, “I’ve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television.”

In addition, Swift shared that she had been working with Netflix on a documentary about her life in recent years, but Borchetta and Braun had denied her permission to use her older music or performance footage for the project. 

Swift also revealed that Borchetta attempted to negotiate with her, offering her the ability to perform and use her music if she agreed not to re-record “copycat versions” of her old songs and stop talking about him and Braun publicly. However, Swift doubled down on her criticism of the business partners and asked her fans for help, stating that the message being sent to her was clear: “Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you’ll be punished.”

She encouraged her fans to contact Braun’s clients, hoping they could persuade him to reconsider his stance. On Friday morning, Big Machine Label Group released a statement denying Swift’s allegations, accusing her of spreading “false information” and asserting that they had never blocked her from performing at the AMAs or prevented her Netflix special.

The statement further clarified, “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 stop her from performing live anywhere.” Despite these claims, Swift continued to advocate for her right to perform and use her music, leaving the situation far from resolved.
