According to Swift, Borchetta and Braun are forbidding the performance of her pre-Lover material based on the contractual stipulation that she would be technically “re-recording” the music before she is legally allowed to.
The singer-songwriter also claims that Borchetta and Braun are blocking the performance or use of any of her old material, and that Borchetta told her representatives that they will allow her to use her music only if she agrees to stop talking about him or Braun and also agrees not to re-record the material in 2020.
“Please let Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun know how you feel about this,” she writes, addressing her fans.
“Scooter also manages several artists who I really believe care about other artists and their work.
Please ask them for help with this—I’m hoping that maybe they can talk some sense into the men who are exercising tyrannical control over someone who just wants to play the music she wrote.”
