Spill Get that promo, you deserve it💖
love ur videos always ❤️❤️
Love your channel, thanks for covering this topic 🙏
Spill love u girl
I keep getting surprised when I hear she's on tumblr. It's not the type of site I expect a celebrity to be on.
i'm not even a fan of taylor, but no artist should be held hostage until they "earn their albums back". it just seems weird and ugly ngl
I think she’s angry that she wasn’t given the same opportunity as scooter. She wanted to buy her songs outright but Scott didn’t let her. That’s where the biggest problem is - besides the most obvious problem which is that ALL writers should own their work.
I am not a fan of Taylor, but she deserves to own her work.
Taylor Swift wrote an ENTIRE album all by herself (Speak Now),
And is a main songwriter on all of her songs but was not even given a proper deal even though she CAN buy them.
Isn't it weird that most of the people congratulating or standing by Scooter and Scott are people who are directly connected to them or their respective labels?
I'm genuinely so disturbed by the wax figure
omg thats so messed up. no wonder some singers are so depressed
Man if you think artists not owning their songs is bad, you should look up how little authors make when they get published.
If Scooter was a decent person he would sell Taylor Swift's catalog back to her with a proper deal because that is the decent thing to do.
Who else was a bit confused about the specifics of this situation and is glad that Spill spilled the tea 🍵🙏
I'm just not sure offering Taylor to earn her old work back, one album at a time, is a fair offer... Did they not expect that to be taken badly??
How is that equal & fair treatment? I would like to hear what the rest of the offer allegedly was ....
wOw finally theres drama outside the beauty community.
I feel bad for Taylor, she was 15 she probably just want to pursue her music. But instead sold her passion away in her ignorance
All the people defending Scott are getting their income from him/thanks to him, even his wife.
The people defending Taylor in the other hand are not...
I don't really listen or Stan any of the aforementioned singers or artists, but I truly believe Taylor was in the right, or, at the very least, her reaction was understandable and justified
Scott said he didn't know Taylor felt negatively about Scooter but then says that scooter invited her to perform on several occasions and she declined. Take a hint
Something ain't right here. If Justin had posted that picture on his on volition, how did he get that screenshot? When you facetime someone, your face is in the smaller screen, not the larger. That means Justin was SENT that picture, he didn't take it himself. Not a big deal (?), but definitely fishy.
Scooter still knows that he intentionally bought the label to own Taylor swift. He knows it as he posted that now deleted Ig story about taylor
As I hear from some sources, the old label would let her have the master of her songs if she agree to sign again. That's why she chose to leave. But why did Scooter have to change the name of old albums, force fans purchase those albums again? I don't think that's neccessary.
So far I'm leaning towards Taylors side. I just think she should be able to own the music she created.
You’re the only person on this planet that can get me to listen to a 37 minute video about Taylor Swift and care about the information being presented. Great video as always!
I'm surprised Taylor swift hasn't started her own record label?! She has the money and reasources and im also sure she could find people for her record.
Throw the whole industry away
If Justin took the screenshot why the hell was his face bigger in the photo , maybe he lied?💁
Almost every industry doesn't care about loyalty anymore. It's just money, how to make more and cut costs.
“That’s business, baby!” Just because something vile has become commonplace in our society, doesn’t mean it’s ethically right.
Taylor didn’t make this public to start a fight. She posted it on tumblr which is the place she connects with fans the most intimately. Fans of hers had been asking about the news before her statement because we wanted to know how she felt. When Taylor said “I swear I don’t love the drama, it loves me” she was right.
no matter what, she deserves to own her own music.
why is everyone who defends scooter also being paid by him
She should not have had to sign a new contract to get HER work back, that part is shady. Especially if she offered to buy them outright. Unfortunately, this is something "we been knew" for decades. George Harrison has very few writing credits on Beatles work because he had a writing contract with another company. The Queen song "Death on Two Legs" was about the deal with their record company where they were taken advantage of. Don't get me started on the Motown contracts. This is why the internet has been so great for music. People can self publish much easier than a decade or two ago, and can find a following without a record label. Its still hard af, but its an option that earlier musicians didn't really have.
that Bieber post is ...... bad. both of em
Taylor never lied. Taylor wants her music that she put her heart and soul into, and now it's with someone who tried to dismantle her career. Put yourself in her shoes.
This is THE BEST TEA CHANNEL. You put so much effort, specially the section when you answer What's the big issue? You are so informed. I really learned so much today.
Spill, thank you so much for explaining the business side behind this particular type of deal at the end of your video. Regardless if people believe Taylor or not this is a serious issue that all artists deal with. Artists deserve to own their own music and they are only going to be able to do that with fan support.
It’s so strange how those on Scott’s side say she needs to own up to responsibility and stop lying. Obviously Taylor wants to own her own songs and has the means to do so, so if a fair deal was presented to her, she would have taken it. I’m sure there was something binding in the deal they gave her that wasn’t worth it to her. It doesn’t matter if some details that were “good” for her were left out, as I’m sure the cons outweighed the pros
You need to remember that Scooter message Taylor a night before like thats gonna help when it takes month to process things up like wth was that thats unfair..
I dont like her but i feel really bad for her. Painful for any artist not to have control over their work.
This is disgusting this is HER art I am not a fan but this is like you spending hours and days on a project and having it tooken away from you because you didn’t not assign the project and then they profit from your project how would you feel about that.
Justin is funny. He and Kanye surely own their music and have not begged for the rights to own their music for YEARS(!) If you - after years - take your grievances to public, I don't find that wrong tbh.
As a fellow artist who knows how shady the music industry can be, I stand behind Taylor.
Taylor wants her music. You deserve to own the art you make.
So wait... Can Taylor still perform her old songs? Does she have to pay scooter if/when she does paid performances of the songs? I guess I'll never be a music artist cus anything I personally create is mine, and nobody else's.
I just want taylor to get her music back ):
Wasnt Scooter also involved in that issue between Ariana Grande and Kris Wu?
This really isn’t about gender🤦🏾♀️ Prince, Michael Jackson, and Tlc dealt with similar situations. Learn from your predecessors
First of all, do celebrities not have private messaging/calls? Because most of these conversations could (and should have been) private, lol.
Overall though, it seems like everyone is focusing on Scooters character, which is really only a secondary issue. The issue at hand is about *artists owning their art*
It's interesting how most of the people defending Scooter don't really address this so much as scream about how great he is...
That, among other things, leads me to believe that he is coaching/bribing his clients into handling his drama for him, or intentiionally giving him more publicity.
It’s clear that Scooter and Scott are paying people to speak out for them and to defend them. CLEARLY. Like are we in the matrix? How is this not obvious to everyone?
Only person who made any sense is the one who called Swift out for making this about women...as if male entertainers don’t get bought out or have to deal with any BS
I’m so impressed with how much research you do, so proud of you.
This was so easy to understand and as someone who doesn’t listen to gossip or drama or follow celebrities it was interesting and didn’t come across as anything other than well presented information and facts.
So glad you were on my recommendations.

I think scooter and co are being super manipulative with what they put out.
yes, whos ready for some well researched hot tea
Taylor would have to buy the entire label company in order to own her masters. This is what Michael Jackson did. He bought 50% of the shares of sony, this is how he was able to outsmart them. Its a messed up thing for artists but i believe they had full knowledge of how the industry works.
Demi Lovato is the most annoying person ever lol
Money, money, money... Must be funny... In the rich men's world 😉
This reminds me of when Michael Jackson outbid Paul McCartney for the rights to the Beatles songs hey Jude and others, for 47 million. Really, Paul McCartney should have owned the rights to the songs, and gotten preferential treatment as an artist, and he was very angry about it.
I don't know who to believe but one thing is for sure, Borchetta, Braun and Justin roping their wives in to this is a petty move. Secondly, that statement about buying Taylor Swift is insensitive and offensive. Taylor has every right to be upset with Braun and Borchetta, there is no excuse for this degrading comment. Lastly, if you can fill me in on this, show me some actual proof that Toddrick actually stole from his fans.
The music industry is a street of glass houses and they’re all out there flinging stones at each other
demi claiming to be part of LGBTQ community to todrick hall...ok
This drama is better and more interesting than the beauty community
Why is almost every man in this video called Scott wat 😂
She made hundreds of millions by signing that contract. This isn't just first world problems, it's multi-millionaire problems.
She better ask chris Brown how he got all of his masters back
So basically, if Scooter didn’t say he bought Taylor Swift, none of this would’ve happened 🤷🏻♀️
Dear lord I thought it was only the kpop industry that was messed up but turns out they’re all messed up. Rip
Thats how the industry works. Once you sign that contract, they tecnically own you. Prince, Michael Jackson, The beatles, are some examples of artists that got taken advantage of. It's not fair but that's what happens when you "sell your soul to the devil".
Im a women but I just have to say that the women pulling out the sexist card is stupid. This literally has nothing to do with sexism.
being in the music industry is terrifying.
Everyone is acting like children in this situation..
I think she should do a video about other dramas other than beauty community, like the area 51 raid 😂😂 that be interesting to watch
Wow...I just realised a LOT of effort, research and knowledge goes into your videos!!
Well.done and very informative ✊🏼✊🏼
God this is all so messy and I am HERE for it! But I stand with Taylor because I believe her. She’s a strong independent woman making history in her industry that is run by rich white men. Of course they’re going to be intimidated by her and do anything they can to try and screw her over with shady deals.
I hope Taylor isn’t lying because she doesn’t need to in order to get people to support her. And if people have receipts then why would you even think for a second that you could lie to the public (AGAIN) and get away with it? I think she’s smarter than that but idk.
Demi Lovato needs to take an entire arena of seats.
so many scotts
*❛❛* Ok NOW I'm going to sleep, and I realized that Demi commented on insta & doesn't have Twitter. *❜❜*
this dude is a mood
Does this mean we're getting a Reputation 2.O
Honestly the whole contract thing that Tylor is describing just seems like nonsense, at least if you see it from a business stand point. If they knew how Swift felt about the Masterd they could have used it as leverage to get her into another contract. I would see it more feasible that the deal they gave to her was more along the lines " If you accept this contract you get all your masters from now on including the old ones, only that the old ones would be give to you over a period of time" and more likely than not those periods of time would be dealing with paper work and general bureaucracy. Yet again everyone knows that entertainment is a truly stupid industry run by narcissistic lizard people who try to act human, and have the tendency of not knowing how negotiate. But if the contract was actually how she described then it would be something I would like to read because I am sure that there would have been other thing that she ain't talking about.
Im so confused. Who said this was sexist? Its definitely not sexist at all. It just so happens that taylor is a female and scooter is a mwle
You should make a merch that says "so, what's the big issue?" in it
celebrities are jealous of beauty gurus' drama and all the attention it gathers every time now
Thank you for this in depth video. I never knew artists make that much on tour. I never liked concerts and don't really get the point of it but now I'll definitely go whenever my fav artists hold one near!
So this is why she out here dropping songs that looks like it could be a commercial for the store justice
I really like the subtitles
Just enough time to go to the bathroom and get some snacks!
WTF I thought drama only happens inside the beauty community. and I-
Time for some of that piping hot tea 🍵
all these industries and communities are so unnecessarily messy 😕😒
your videos are the only ones that i trust when it comes to reporting news/“drama”. i love how informative you are on everything! keep up the good work babe 💕
Adults acting like children.
Oh my god what happened to TSwift now?
I didn't even know about this drama until this video because of all the drama in the beauty community. Tbh, I forgot it was possible for other communities to have drama. 🤣
Wait, how many Scotts are there in this story?! 0_o
in conclusion, the music industry is trash.
Ok, hold up, hold up, why can’t we stand up and respect men too? Women and men should be on the same team, striving to treat each other equally. Yes, women have suffered, but so have men. #equalityforall
12:24 *open letter*
Begins sentence with *your*
i need tea on the shawmila (shawn mendes and camila cabello)
i ship them so much but i’m so confused
*what does gender have to do with this?*
“ i signed a record deal when I was 15”
Also Taylor
“ I sang in bars to save money and used my own money for my music 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn this one is all over the place .. but I feel informed 🙌🏼 thank you Spill!!! 💙💙
