the truth behind international pop star taylor swift; a thread
in 2003, taylor moved to nashville to try and find a record label who would allow her to be one of their artists. although she was accepted by a few, she turned them down because she wanted to be able to write her own music, not just sing them. eventually, a man named scott
borchetta approached her, and offered taylor a contract as an artist for a record label he started called big machine. at the time, big machine had no finances, infrastructure, or any major artists. a while after taylor signed to the label, she released her debut album.
taylor’s first major breakthrough in the industry was the release of love story, and her second album fearless. a year after the release of this album, taylor won the VMA for best female music video. it was on the night of this award where kanye west infamously stormed the stage
and humiliated her during her acceptance speech. the crowed booed this act, as kanye was 32 at the time and was interrupting the speech of a 19 year old. however, at the time taylor believed that the crowd was booing her, not kanye
around the time of fearless’ release, taylor’s parents, andrea and scott swift were facing difficulties in their relationship, and they divorced a while later, in 2011
her third album, speak now was self-written as a response to music critics who claimed that her songwriting wasn’t all that special, since she had cowriters for some of her previous songs. speak now is also the album that contains the song mean, which was a response to people in
the industry who claimed that she couldn’t sing. speak now also has the song dear john, which was about her relationship with john mayer, who was 32 when he dated taylor swift, and the abuse and toxicity in their relationship. after the song was released, he attacked taylor
saying that he didn’t deserve what was written about him. the media sided with him at the time, and taylor faced huge backlash for writing the song. about a year later in 2012, taylor began a relationship with harry styles. this caused the media to slut-shame her, calling her a
tw// eating disorder
“serial dater”, and eventually body-shame her as well both of these affected her greatly, with the latter prompting an eating disorder while the rest of the world criticized her for being “too skinny”

it was around 2014, when taylor was at the peak of her career, she was also criticized for having famous friends. the media called her friend group an “exclusive squad”.
about a year later, taylor’s mom, who she’s extremely close to was diagnosed with cancer for the first time. taylor’s dad was also diagnosed with cancer, but it’s unsure when it happened
in june of 2015, taylor began using her platform in the music industry for good. she stood up to the two biggest streaming platforms, apple and spotify, and told them to pay artists fairly. this again caused huge backlash, as she was called “greedy” and “money-hungry” for her act
while dating calvin harris, taylor cowrote a song with him called This is What You Came For under the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg. after revealing this, calvin attacked her in a series of tweets, when all taylor wanted was credit for her writing
around this time, taylor and kanye finally made up, and he even invited her to announce his VMA vanguard award. however, he later betrayed her and secretly recorded a phone call with her and edited it, making it seem like she lied and gave him permission to use her name in a song
additionally, kanye used a naked wax figure of taylor in the music for famous as “revenge porn” this was also without taylor’s permission
nearly everyone in the industry and on the internet turned on her for this, including many of her previous friends, like karlie kloss and serayah. the response from the internet caused taylor to go into hiding for almost a year. many believed that this was the end of her career
tw//sexual assault
in 2017, taylor faced a court case where david mueller, who sexually assaulted her decided to sue taylor for being the reason he lost his job. taylor countersued, and fortunately, won the court case

in 2019, it was revealed that scooter braun bought taylor’s masters from scott borchetta. scooter was the manager of kanye during 2016, and he participated in bullying taylor along with several of his clients. scott knowingly sealed taylor’s music to someone she despised
after this was revealed, scooter braun then went on his instagram story and reposted a story his friend posted, which bragged about “buying taylor swift” it’s also rumored that karlie kloss, taylor’s former friend shared secrets about taylor to scooter
instead of selling the music to taylor. this means scooter makes money from all the songs taylor wrote before 2019. he‘s used this to his advantage multiple times, including trying to prevent taylor from performing her songs at the AMAs, and releasing new versions of her songs
it’s been revealed recently that taylors music was sold again, without her knowing. taylor tweeted this statement after the news came to light, and revealed that scooter went to many lengths to try and silence taylor on this matter
it was also revealed in 2019 that andrea swift was facing another battle with cancer, as well as a brain tumor. taylor wrote about this in her song “soon you’ll get better”
one thing that taylor has had to face throughout her career is stalkers. the fear is caused by the fact that every home address she’s ever had is posted online. this caused her to place precautions to protect herself; including carrying QuikClot army grade bandage dressing around
in 2020, the kanye and taylor feud resurfaced again, with full version of the illegal phone call released. it showed that taylor was telling the truth the entire time. here’s the unedited version:
