00:08Deja vu

00:11Hey guys, it's Allie for Hollywood Life with your pop star roundup

00:14But before we begin, hit that sub like and bell button for all the latest drama for your momma

00:19Now to the most important story of the day

00:21Bad Bunny won a Latin Grammy last night

00:23Congrats to him, well deserved

00:25But okay, to the real story

00:26Taylor Swift demolished the Matrix last night

00:28With this lengthy letter explaining how Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun

00:32Are putting a roadblock on her American Music Awards performance

00:35Taylor wanted to perform a medley of hits for the show

00:37Since she's receiving the Artist of the Decade Award

00:40However, Tay claims that the two label heads won't let her

00:44Because doing this would make it a re-recording

00:47And recall they are trying to retain full rights to her music that they just purchased

00:51Although she will eventually be able to do this, just not until next year

00:55Taylor also revealed that she had a Netflix documentary in the works that's being halted

00:59Because Scott and Scooter declined her the use of her older music and performance footage for the project

01:05Allegedly, Scott will give Taylor permission to use the music if Taylor agrees to not re-record the music she already made

01:12And stops bringing up his and Scooter's names

01:14Taylor's asking Scooter's artist to be vocal about her situation to get him to change his mind

01:18And is also calling out the Carlyle Group

01:21The Carlyle Group helped put money up for the purchase of Big Machine Records

01:24Taylor's former label that Scooter now owns

01:27Big Machine Records has released a statement now saying this is all fake news

01:31They're claiming Taylor was never told not to perform at the AMAs

01:34But they didn't specify what music she could perform

01:37This statement also says they've honored all license requests made by her

01:41While promoting a new record that they're not invested in

01:44They also claim, quote, Taylor has admitted to contractually owing millions of dollars in multiple assets to her company

01:50Which is responsible for 120 hard-working employees who helped build her career

01:55We have worked diligently to have a conversation about these matters with Taylor and her team to productively move forward

02:00Big Machine Records claims there was progress over the past two weeks until Taylor decided to release this statement last night

02:06However, a rep for Taylor now tells our sister site Variety that Taylor received an email from Big Machine

02:12Which allegedly says they will not agree to issue licenses for existing records or waivers of its re-recording restrictions

02:19In connection to the Netflix documentary and the Alibaba Double Eleven event in China

02:24During which Taylor ended up performing her latest records in order to appease Big Machine and attendees

02:29While the label claims Taylor owes them money

02:32Her rep says an independent professional auditor has determined that Big Machine owes Taylor roughly 8 million dollars of

02:39I'm on pajambo off to the side for a moment

02:41Selena Gomez is now reacting to the situation

02:44Cell posted a lengthy letter on Instagram supporting Taylor

02:47How her music saved young people's lives and reveals how angry she is over the current situation

02:53Justin Bieber made a post as well simply saying

02:55I'm having a rough day, thought I'd share, remind you you're not alone, keep pushing

02:59While the post didn't seem directed to the current situation

03:02Taylor Swift's fans were quick to call him out

03:04Asking him to essentially shut up unless he's going to support her in this situation

03:07There's just so much happening right now

03:09I don't even know what to think

03:11Whatever ends up happening, I hope Taylor gets to perform her songs at the AMAs

03:15All of the songs she wants to perform
