UPDATE on the situation if you care. This article says that big machine had to shut down their office yesterday because Taylor fans were sending death threats. The article also quotes a label exec saying:
Taylor can 100 percent perform all of her catalog, past and present, at the AMAs. Big Machine has no issue with her performance going out on live broadcast because it recognizes it doesn’t have the right to block her. Labels can’t block any artists from performing any songs live.
So take it however you will. Lots of cool and differing opinions in here and I’ve enjoyed reading them. Thanks for participating you guys 💕

have a feeling this is going to be an unpopular post, because regarding the recent news about Taylor's record label dispute, reddit has been overwhelmingly in support of her.
Taylor Swift is always playing the victim. Almost all of her songs are about how some boy came along and broke her heart, and how tragic that is because she was a perfect angel girlfriend and he was the absolute devil.
Example. She put Joe Jonas on blast over their breakup. Told everyone on Ellen that he broke up with her in a 20 second phone call. But Joe Jonas came out and said that the only reason the phone call was so short was because she hung up on him.
Ok, but she was only 19 with this happened. Surely she's grown and changed as a person since then?
Nope. I'm not gonna link sources because you can find them easily on google, but she continues to have relationships like this. They end bitterly and she writes a song or makes a snarky public comment about how awful her ex is. Examples: John Mayer, Calvin Harris, Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal.
Look at her feuds with other celebrities. Kanye and Katy Perry are kind of insane, but she's fought with many others: Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, the list goes on.
Look at how she defends herself in all of these situations. She has literally told lies (ex: the kanye west debate and the joe jonas thing) to paint a better portrait of her as the victim.
And didn't she lie about her masters situation when the news first broke, too? Didn't it come out that Taylor did know about the deal and did have the opportunity to buy her masters, but she passed it up?? It seems she had the power to stop this from ever happening in the first place.
Now she's posting some pretty big accusations of him publicly, but she has nothing to back up her claims. She is literally asking her fans to brigade someone and have blind faith that what she's saying about him is completely true.
It definitely could be true. And I do feel bad for her if that's the case.
But she's a 30 year old grown ass woman. Worth half a billion dollars. She could afford the best attorneys in the world to take this guy down. But she decides to vent on twitter and ask her teenage fans to attack someone based on her word alone (which has historically been unreliable). I get that people think this is an important message to spread. But the way she worded it sure seemed like it wasn't about spreading awareness so much as it was about getting revenge.
Taylor Swift reminds me of a high schooler. Her "squad" is a clique and she is their Regina George. She has a pattern of unstable relationships and an inability to see her own flaws in them.
Taylor seems to think everyone else is the problem. Nah Taylor, you're the problem. The common factor in all these situations is you.
Oh and her music sucks.
Not only is this a totally popular opinion, this has been generally accepted fact for the last like 7 or 8 years at least
