Taylor Swift In The Middle Of The Confusion Over Her Old Songs

JAKARTA - After a post uploaded by Taylor Swift on November 15 went viral, today, Tuesday, November 19, Big Machine Records, the label that houses Taylor Swift's entire album, stated that the pop singer could perform her old hits at the moon awards ceremony. this. This statement brought a new chapter after the public conflict over the rights of Swift's first six albums.

However, Big Machine's claims about this right are causing confusion. Because, even though they said they had reached an agreement with Dick Clark Productions (DCP), the producer of the American Music Awards (AMA), so that Swift was allowed to bring along her old songs, DCP said they didn't.

“There was never time for DCP to agree to make or distribute a statement with Big Machine Records regarding Taylor Swift's appearance at the AMA. Any agreement on this matter must be made with the Taylor Swift management team. We have no further comment, "they said.

In fact, Big Machine Label Group (BMLG) had issued a statement saying; “Big Machine Label Group and Dick Clark Productions announced that they have agreed a license to allow their artists to perform. This includes an upcoming American Music Awards show. It should be noted that recording artists do not need label approval for live performance on television or other media. Label approval is only required for audio and visual recordings for the contracted artist and determines how the work is distributed. " Quoted from Variety.

Big Machine later stated that they accepted Swift's decision to leave Big Machine and honored her request to license her catalog, although no specifics have been made for either an AMA or a private document. Big Machine also doesn't deny what Swift mentioned in its uploads. The oddity is added when Swift's father, Scott Kingsley Swift, is named a shareholder in Big Machine. Most likely the family deliberately turned a blind eye to this incident.

Previously, Swift wrote a long tweet on Twitter stating that she was not allowed to sing her old songs at the AMA awards ceremony. Swift also wrote about how it was difficult for her to insert her old appearance in the Netflix documentary she was working on.

“I just want to be able to show MY music. Only that. I've tried this privately through my team but it didn't solve anything. Now, my appearances on AMAs, Netflix documentaries and recorded shows I plan to play through November 2020 are question marks. I love you and I think you should know what's going on. - Taylor. "

Neither PR nor Swift has reacted to Big Machine's statement.
