They can't kill the medley! I wanna hear it so bad. I've been looking back on the music of this decade, I made a thread and all. And Taylor is to me the artist of the decade. So many good songs even the non singles.

Truly shameful. It's awful what Taylor is going through and the fans will suffer as well.
She shouldn't have to, but I guess the only way around the medley thing, is for her to pay royalties to perform her own songs for the medley. I'm sure she'll do a song from Lover or just not perform at the AMAs at all instead.

^ Well actually, now that I've re-read it, it seems that wouldn't work since "they've declined" usage unless she "does these things". So, offering to pay royalties for usage of the music may have already occurred and they declined that as an option.
Despicable.

Yeah the issue is that they think it infringes upon the agreement that she can’t re-record them until next year.
My boyfriend said maybe she can change a few words to make it almost like a parody of her work which is subject to fair use and does not require permission to do. Or she could get her musician friends to perform the hits and she sings the new songs. I think they will figure something out no matter what. Or she should just perform The Man and leave it at that lol
I hope no matter what she is able to perform at least some of her hits. Even if they wanted to be dicks about it they could at least say “Ok you can perform only 5 songs” or something so she can at least still perform some of them.

This is so sad for her... That people can be such dickheads!! I hope she will figure something out.. it would be a shame if she can't sing those old songs live anymore and knowing that only her Lover material can be accepted.. I also wonder about the re recording material how that will work out.. will the songs sound the same a bit or not?

According to what she wrote, she was planning to record them exactly the same but now they are saying she can’t. Idk honestly how that works, I don’t know if they technically have to be different or not. She said they can’t be “copycat” versions.

Kesha’s battle with Dr Luke looks small compared to this. It really is an amazing thing to witness.

I wrote in the Random Avril thread that it makes sense to me now why Avril has never stayed with a label for more than 2 albums.

Can we take a moment to look at her PR greatness. She released the Lover Remix. Her song for Cats is released. She makes her behind the scenes struggle with 'Bite Me' public. And she's announced artist of the decade (I have no idea if it was announced before but I first heard about it in her statement last night). Both songs are lackluster IMO. And this situation sucks. But her name is everywhere this week. Shows she's the biggest name in music.

The Lover remix sucks I agree but Beautiful Ghosts is amazing! The lyrics are so haunting and beautiful and I have never heard her voice like this before. It’s truly a masterpiece IMO and I don’t use that term lightly. She should at least be nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song for this. I know nothing about the musical Cats but this is a really beautiful song. And the fact she wrote it with Andrew Lloyd Webber himself, well, that says it all. Maybe they will even consider adding it into the Broadway score.
It’s just sad that what was supposed to be an exciting song release for her for a movie she loves is being overshadowed by this mess. And especially that it’s such a beautifully written song too.

It reminds of the stuff she did for Hunger Games.

I own many Business and I would do the same and what is Legal to do to Protect My Investment to the fullest Extend.

It’s sad to her fans, of which I assume you are not one.
