I agree with Katy. Between his weird obsessions with Taylor and his announcement to run for president, he’s clearly having some sort of mental breakdown.
Apparently Miss Americana has been submitted for Grammy consideration for Best Music Film and Only the Young for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Folklore has also been submitted but the categories weren’t named. I’m assuming at least Best Alternative Album and maybe AOTY if they’re even allowed to submit nominations for that.
Personally I think Beyoncé’s Black is King is probably going to win Best Music Film and Best Song for Visual Media. Miss Americana wasn’t exactly a “music film,” it was a documentary about a musician. And while I like OTY it’s nowhere close to being one of her best songs. I honestly think it’s kind of a joke even submitting it.
That being said, folklore 100% deserves something, especially AOTY. As someone who objectively understands why rep and Lover didn’t win, I think folklore is actually 100% deserving. I think her chances for AOTY are really strong. I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t even get nominated. It will be a hard album to ignore considering how huge it was.

For folklore she got praise not only from fans but from musicians like herself. I really hope she wins AOTY.

So I just read something today that kind of disappointed me. I read on Twitter that Taylor had given away several tickets to some of her reputation shows just so she could say she sold out those venues. This info came from an account that seems like they just want to discredit her achievements so I initially took it with a grain of salt, however there are articles that prove it like this: www.ticketnews.com/2019/04/taylor-swift-promoters-20000-tickets-free-2/She gave out 20,000 tickets just for one show, there was also a Reddit thread where fans said they got free tickets for the Ireland show at Croke Park. Now granted Croke Park is notoriously difficult to sell out and other artists like Beyoncé have apparently utilized the same strategy. There could be multiple reasons why this happened, besides the fact she wants to be able to say she broke attendance records and what not, she has an obligation in her contract with the stadium to fill to a certain capacity. It’s incredibly expensive to put on a show of that level with all those crew members so if they’re going to spend the money traveling and moving the show across the world, they’re going to book multiple nights and fill every seat. The seats that didn’t sell may have also been the crappy nosebleeds. I think even if she lets say only sold 30,000 out of a 50,000 venue that’s still 60% of tickets sold. I think in most venues she came pretty close to selling them out, maybe more around 80-85%. The only shows I’ve seen mention this ticket giveaway have been the Santa Clara shows and Croke Park, so maybe for most shows she really did sell them out. Maybe I’m just naive but I didn’t think they were allowed to give tickets out for free and still claim it sold out. I also don’t think that’s really fair to fans who paid hundreds of dollars for a ticket. The achievements of the tour sounded impressive until you realize half the tickets were given away for free. I’m a little disappointed about that. But on the other hand I understand from a business perspective why they probably do it to make it worth the money it takes to make the shows happen. The fans who save money on a ticket are probably more inclined to visit the merch stand, thus putting more money in Taylor’s pocket, and they still have to spend money on parking and concessions which is revenue that goes to the venue that otherwise wouldn’t have been there at all. There’s also this article that explains why selling out shows would actually not be beneficial to the artist because of a higher rate of scalpers as well: www.google.com/amp/s/qz.com/quartzy/1427597/taylor-swift-is-smart-enough-to-not-let-her-shows-not-sell-out/amp/ So maybe it just depends on who you ask.

I’m a glass half full guy and if you look at the “actual” tickets sold you’ll find she blew the lid off every one else. And considering she gave away tickets it makes it even more remarkable if you think about it.

She added Betty live from the ACMs to Spotify and another chapter. Forgot the name but something about showed up at your party.
About the tickets, yeah that's incredibly shitty. Realistically, I don't think anyone can sell out standiums now except maybe the old big rock bands... barely.

Signed CDs are available again. Since this is like the third time they’ve offered them I finally just caved and ordered one while they were still available lol Altogether it was $31 including shipping but I think that’s not a bad price for an artist of her level. It’s super special having a signed CD from one of my favorite artists! Maybe I could just donate my unsigned copy or something if I find it’s taking up too much room.

The latest development with Taylor's masters is that they've now been sold to yet another private equity group called Shamrock Holdings for over $300 million. While Scooter no longer owns them, I guess he is still going to be able to profit off them for many more years to come (ugh). Taylor still plans on re-recording her old albums and apparently there will be many "surprises." I'm truly excited to hear what she'll come up with, I don't think the new recordings will ever exactly compare to the originals, but I'm excited to see what she's going to do with them.
I don't understand how anyone can continue to support Scooter after this. Even her own legal team stated the NDA he wanted her to sign is not typical. Dude really wants to silence her as much as possible, I'm glad she is not taking any of his shit. And I'm glad she is still going ahead with the remasters.
Full tweet by her explaining the terms of the new deal:
