Taylor Swift Says She Is Being Blocked From Performing Old Songs at AMAs
Written by SOURCE on November 15, 2019
Taylor Swift‘s scheduled performance at the 2019 American Music Awards is now in question.
On Thursday night, the singer-songwriter shared a lengthy message in which she accused Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta of blocking her musical set planned for the Nov. 24 ceremony. Swift, who will receive the Artist of the Decade honor at this year’s AMAs, said she intended to perform a medley of her greatest hits, but Braun and Borchetta are trying to stop her from doing so.
“Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I’m allowed to next year,” she wrote. “Additionally — and this isn’t the way I had planned on telling you this news — Netflix has created a documentary about my life for the past few years.
“Scott and Scooter have declined the use of my older music or performance footage for this project, even though there is no mention of either of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film.”
