Fans of @taylorswift13 have united behind @DeltaRae in the most unexpected way. https://t.co/UV0jlb2xZ6

It turns out Swifties are helping this independent country group that just split from Big Machine Records

Delta Rae set a budget goal of $30,000 to record The Light. Within the first twelve hours of the campaign, they raised nearly $100,000. As of this writing, and just over 24 full hours of campaign launch, Delta Rae has raised nearly $150,000 from more than 1,000 people. And the campaign still has 59 days left ( ... )

Taylor Swift signed away her masters. In exchange she became one of the worlds biggest stars and rich beyond most people's wildest fucking dreams.

The idea that she was somehow ripped off or swindled or taken advantage of because she had to live up to the terms of her contract which she received MORE than enough consideration for .... is wild.

Let this just be a lesson to all y'all that you shouldn't skimp on a lawyer, that you should heavily consider all aspects of your contracts, and that if you sign a commercially valid contract you can't come back later and say you don't like it anymore.

You should see the shit that her fans have been posting. They absolutely are throwing out the legality of the contract and of the sale. A lot of dummmmmb shit is flying around aside from the feelings aspect of it. That's all I'm responding to.

her lawyer gave a statement to the hollywood reporter that she was never given the chance to present money to outright buy the label or her masters

i wonder why he wouldn't just let her buy the label if that's the case. that's essentially what scooter did anyways

Idk, but he did say he didn’t want to be “subservient” to Taylor and that he has plans to become some kind of pop superpower.

Why are people acting like this is only happening to Taylor? Or that her rich ass didn't get anything out of the deal?  I can't find any sympathy for her, not even a smidgen. She's well known and rich.  Who cares?!

Cause Taylor knows how to make everything about her. That's why she stroked the flames with her rabid fanbase by framing that statement the way that she did. Having that rabid fanbase, being well-connected, and being one of the biggest artists all helps her favor.

It kinda ticks me off because people like JoJo, Sky Ferreira, and Halsey came out supporting her with their experiences of being screwed over by the industry. Because they lack everything that Taylor does have in term money, support, and control and granted they'll never receive half of the support/press that Taylor gets.

Like if all this mess were to somehow end up benefiting them it'd be great, but it's only because Taylor got mad.

Not to mention Kesha, who's past and future masters are currently owned by the man that she says raped her...

Dr. Luke and Kemosabe own the masters to Praying. We should be rioting for her!
