Taylor Swift Accepts Woman of the Decade Award at Billboard's Women In Music: Read Her Full Speech

Taylor Swift was the first-ever recipient of Billboard's Woman of the Decade Award. You can read her full acceptance speech here.

Lately there’s been a new shift that has affected me personally and that I feel is a potentially harmful force in our industry, and as your resident loud person, I feel the need to bring it up. And that is the unregulated world of private equity coming in and buying up our music as if it is real estate. As if it’s an app or a shoe line. This just happened to me without my approval, consultation, or consent. 

After I was denied the chance to purchase my music outright, my entire catalog was sold to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings in a deal that I’m told was funded by the Soros Family, 23 Capital, and the Carlyle Group. Yet to this day none of these investors have ever bothered to contact me or my team directly. To perform their due diligence on their investment. On their investment in me. To ask how I might feel about the new owner of my art. The music I wrote. The videos I created. Photos of me, my handwriting, my album designs. And of course, Scooter never contacted me or my team to discuss it prior to the sale or even when it was announced.

I’m fairly certain he knew exactly how I would feel about it though. And let me just say that the definition of the toxic male privilege in our industry is people saying, ‘But he’s always been nice to me,’ when I’m raising valid concerns about artists and their rights to own their music. And of course he’s nice to you. If you’re in this room, you have something he needs.

The fact is that private equity is what enabled this man to think, according to his own social media post, that he could buy me. But I’m obviously not going willingly. Yet the most amazing thing was to discover that it would be the women in our industry who would have my back and show me the most vocal support at one of the most difficult times, and I will never, ever forget it. Like, ever.

i just. can't get over "i don't want to keep secrets just to keep you" like that is the classic gay romance line. i don't want to stay closeted just to stay with you like wow. i can't handle it

literally… “i don’t want to keep secrets just to keep you” and “i love you, ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard” are just so deeply and profoundly gay i’m-

Taylor who?

You guys are losing faith...

She’s called a leader for a reason

If war was easy

Love would have won long ago...

Are we not in combat ??

Maybe I don’t know my generals’ moves

Because she’s there -

I’m here.

But I know I know my way

My heart pound with hers.

Let’s go.

When the two musical geniuses you love THE MOST intertwine in the most beautiful display of love everrrrrrrr...people can say this is coincidence but A. coincidences are not real (only koincidences 😋) and B. Taylor is waaaaaay too smart and we know she is obsessed with 1975 and C. not the only 1975 reference on this album and others. For ex. robbers is/was her favourite song (matty dedicated it to her once when she was in inaudience), it is about passionate love destined for doom, Taylor “knew I was a robber”; Matty “just sat in self pity and cried in the car” when his love didn’t work out, Taylor “cried like a baby coming home from the bar”; matty “bite your face to spite your nose, 17 and a half years old”, Taylor “cut off my nose to spite my face” “it’s like I’m 17 nobody understands”...and for a stretch... matty in girls “a pair of frozen hands to hold”, Taylor “lost my gloves” (double work there, Carol ref also). And those are just ones I can pick off the top of my head without thinking too hard or actively listening for parallels. When you reference the band and especially the song playing when you were reputedly caught making out with your BFF...ummmmm? 👯‍♀️😘
