Angels roll their eyes.

Unsurprising but still upsetting that this whole thing was originally about Taylor defending artists’ right to their own work, Taylor explaining the betrayal and the complete exploitation by two men — one whose greed made him turn his back on his first client who is the reason he has the status he has, and one who had no reason to buy her music (since he’s constantly tormented her) other than out of spite—, the fact that she begged for the chance to buy it and wasn’t given it when it was HER blood sweat tears and literal heart poured from pen to paper for the last half of her life that was in these masters, and instead the people trying to come for her have minimized this all into some kind of “Taylor Swift, why are you being mean?” bullshit. Imagine if people just let women stand up for themselves.

Taylor is such a smart businesswoman and has proven time and time again that she knows her worth and what direction her career should go in. To believe people, that she just walked away from all the work she’s ever made without blinking is to not know how much she values all of those life lessons, times in the studio, tours, etc. her music is so much more than money. It’s her truth and that’s priceless. She deserved the option to own them.

if anyone needs me i’ll be fighting in the trenches for taylor swift
