The internet comes through for Taylor Swift as she’s cleared to perform at the AMA

The internet comes through for everyone, big or small, and it has once again proven itself to be king.

American recording artist, Taylor Swift, has now been cleared to perform her old songs at the upcoming American Music Awards.

Recall that Taylor Swift had originally come forward to cry out about being barred from performing her old songs. She shared a long note accusing Scooter Braun and Big Machine label boss, Scott Borchetta or disallowing her from performing her old songs at the AMA.

Swift wrote: “I’ve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. 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 continued: “Scott Bocchetta told my team that they’ll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs next year (which is something I’m both legally allowed to do and looking forward to) and also told my team that I need to stop talking about him and Scooter Braun.

The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you’ll be punished.”

Several celebrities rallied around her including Selena Gomez, Azaelia Banks, Roxane Gay, among others.

Swift’s fans also added their voices to the fray, causing #IStandWithTaylor and #FreeTaylor to trend worldwide.

Now, she has been given permission to perform all her songs, in a statement released by Big Machine Records and D--k Clark productions.

The statement reads: “The Big Machine Label Group and D--k Clark Productions announce that they have come to terms on a licensing agreement that approves their artists’ performances to stream post show and for re-broadcast on mutually approved platforms.

“This includes the upcoming American Music Awards performances for Thomas Rhett and former Big Machine Records recording artist Taylor Swift.”

It has always been made clear that Taylor could perform the songs during a live broadcast but the real issue would come after it aired on television.

It was all cleared up in the statement as it continued: “It should be noted that recording artists do not need label approval for live performances on television or any other live media.

“Record label approval is only needed for contracted artists’ audio and visual recordings and in determining how those works are distributed.”
