Taylor Swift is always championing other artists and artists’ rights. It’s so disheartening to see so many big name musicians stay quiet tonight. Especially those that are her friends! Just liking a tweet is not enough!!

Scott and Scooter, you know what the right thing to do is 🙏🙏

I’m with @taylorswift13. I don’t know shit about the music industry, but I know how it feels to be patronized and manipulated by powerful men. STICK IT TO THE MAN SIS! We got you

Here’s an idea,what if other artists perform your early songs in the 1st half of the performance paying tribute to u? mechanical license is already granted since u released them. So it would be other artists “cover version”of your earlier hits? Then u jump in 2nd half?Ps. Hi Don.
