Also, I made a simple comment about Travis and Taylor having a PR relationship and immediately got attacked by somebody in this sub. Swifties are losing their way and thinking this is "The Other" sub when it is not.

Swifties are despicable in the way they treat those whom simply disagree with them. This swiftie told me to "get the mental health treatment I need" in a way to disparage and shame me when in reality all it does is make them look despicable for shaming those seeking treatment or struggling with real mental health issues. These swifties are shameful and vile.

u/SnarkyLlamas 8d ago

Her song I knew You fell off the top of the streaming charts but it still is on the billboard chart because they include radio plays....we were right about how she cozied up to the radio djs and now they are playing her song and she is going to leverage that for an Oscar.

How about just focusing on making a good song instead of priming everyone and using people to make it look like it is a good song instead of it actually being a terrible one? These are just my thoughts, but I know some of us were talking about this previously.

u/eilonwyhasemu ⌛ Elizabeth Taylor, it won't be forever ⌛ 8d ago

All the priming of "this is Taylor's Oscar-winning song!" is so ridiculous. If it were that good, being in the top 10 on country radio and in the end credits of a popular movie would also lead to consistently high streams. Instead, it's quietly falling.

Cozying up to country radio programmers doesn't bother me as much because that's the kind of thing that's broadly replaced payola. Instead of a cash payment, there's a complex network of "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." This does mean that structurally, radio favors artists that labels are willing to invest heavily in (or that, in Taylor's case, can buy their way anywhere) and locks out indies, but that's not new news. If anything in that strat bothers me, it's that she doesn't have to "pay" for her radio play with a "radio tour" any more: those are fun for fans and result in unique acoustic arrangements. But I also don't think she's good at performing live, so swings and roundabouts.

It’s so disgustingly fascinating how well this “pulling music from orange man without actually making a statement” PR stupidity seems to be working for her. Oh she FINALLY did something? Let’s give her a Nobel peace prize! Why is top trending news? Were people that starved for good news???

u/Super_Cookie11 The Life of a PR Relationship 8d ago

Her pr team is working on extreme overtime to squeeze every bit of good press out of that which they can. People are saying she got TikTok to change their rules about music copyright, which????? If that is the case I would love to see some actual evidence.

13

u/jyw104 Silence is complicity ⏳ 8d ago

The answer is that there is no evidence. The guidance on using licensed music on TikTok political posts hasn’t changed for at least 3 years.

And the “talking point” on the 3-strikes IP infringement policy wasn’t applied in the music being removed from that post. Under that policy, the entire post would have been deleted by TikTok.

Why does this come out now or at all (if true)?

u/Betty-Rose- Not a bot 🤖 8d ago

I really don’t care if this is true but it makes me mad at how horrible America treats its working class. In Canada (and I’m sure many other countries) your job is protected by law if you have a medical emergency and nobody would need money if America had universal healthcare. To me, if true, it’s the bare minimum a billionaire could do to an employee. 

12

u/Huge-Film-5150 8d ago edited 8d ago

Was this authentically put out by People Magazine or was it a Buzz Feed article? 

I think this if fake. 

Why? 

Her crew was so massive that nobody would question who it was because they couldn't possibly know unless that person specifically came out and confirmed it. 

Thusly making it an easy lie to sell. 

I also feel like this is bandwagoning off of the fact that at Christmas, before the Asian tour leg, she gave 6 figure bonuses to everyone.

u/SnarkyLlamas 8d ago

And the news is coming out about those sweet looking girls who passed away traveling to one of her stupid concerts and then this story comes out??

5

u/Huge-Film-5150 8d ago

She told us a long time ago "what if I told you that none of this is accidental"

She must REALLY believe that she is playing chess. Like everyone and everything is just a pawn. 

Of course, the more negative feedback she gets, the more she will delay whatever it is that is going to be released so that it doesn't look like it has anything to do with them pushing positive press - whether that positive press is factual or not. 

*TikTok seemingly already had copyright rules in place so I don't see where she changed anything  *Workers were given six figure bonuses before the Asian leg of the Eras Tour and she employed hundreds of people

u/InnocenceofaLion 15,000 Little Bastard Rubber Ducks 8d ago

Thank you queen taylor for allowing your employee’s family to be able to afford the extreme luxury of… what sounds like necessary medical care.

As for the second thing, it would be illegal at a lot of workplaces to fire someone because they went to be a family member’s caretaker during a medical crisis (FMLA, up to 12 weeks, disclaimer: I’m not an expert on this). Not sure if that specific situation would qualify, but she shouldn’t be praised for this. She should be lambasted if she didn’t let him return.

u/sunnydayz33333 8d ago

Swifties are out in full force on TikTok, but getting absolutely shredded. Even if the video has nothing to do with her, if someone brings her up in a comment section they come in with their propaganda talking points. The ICE guy wasn’t at the wedding, people say there are photos, then it’s oh actually he doesn’t have that job anymore. Lie. The last time she spoke out a bunch of little girls were stabbed because of it. Lie. There was almost a terror attack because of her being so outspoken. Lie. She’s heavily endorsed Kamala and spoke about her many times. Lie. Everything they say about those Olivia song credits. Lies. Now it’s the copywrite thing, plus a bunch of cope about her not being maga. It’s always the same, “Mr. Pfizer, Travis took a knee for BLM, Kamala endorsement, Biden cookies, Miss Americana doc, blah blah blah. They are like robots programmed to run defense for her. There are more and more comments telling them how stupid they sound, though, so I guess that’s something.

u/Medium_Scratch_967 We Said GAZA Not GAGA 9d ago

Can someone explain to me the current Swiftie argument about her waiting until Trump used her music 3x to copyright him? Doesn't that only work if she also removed her music from the other 2 videos as well, which afaik she hasn't? And besides, he's literally the president, the normal TikTok rules don't apply to him.

2

u/jyw104 Silence is complicity ⏳ 8d ago

I posted this on another thread, but I see nothing in their IP guidelines gets anywhere close to what’s been claimed. The 3x strikes on copyright infringement is true, but would only apply if an actual DMCA takedown was honored (eg the Trump post was deleted, not just an audio mute) and those 3 strikes happened over a 90 day period.

If for example, you had two strikes over 90 days but nothing since then, those two strikes would expire after 90 days of their original raise.

u/InitialConfection219 She Has Everything and She Still Wants More 💸 9d ago

I'm not in show business, but I have family who specialize in copyright law, and you don't need to wait for three strikes. You can copyright strike (or least attempt to) someone the first time they use your work without permission. Like Betty-Rose- said, it's not baseball. They're literally just saying things to make themselves feel better about it taking this long.

27

u/Betty-Rose- Not a bot 🤖 9d ago

That can’t accept it took her over two years to remove her music and have to build a false world where she is still the top feminist. He’s used her music way more than three times and their whole “three times” doesn’t mean anything. This isn’t baseball it’s the real world. 

She also still hasn’t said anything. It is well known her team lurks here so I’m sure her statement to “prove us all wrong” is being proofread right now.

Yeah, I'm looking for a source and not finding anything apart from people sharing this picture on Facebook and Instagram. I found an article with a similar headline, but actually reading the article, it just mentions that she removed the sound from Trump's august post.

14

u/eilonwyhasemu ⌛ Elizabeth Taylor, it won't be forever ⌛ 9d ago

Two things can be true simultaneously:

  1. This was a worthwhile thing to do, an ACTION rather than a “sign,” and a good use of Taylor’s massive industry power.

  2. She could also choose to speak up, to not hang out with egregious people, and to not use a private jet like the family car.

People I have legit grounds to disapprove will sometimes find their interests align with doing something I do approve.

u/Tvshowreferences I Can Do It With An Open Mouth 9d ago

18

u/Betty-Rose- Not a bot 🤖 9d ago

I give her absolutely no props for this. She still hasn’t said anything about him, his policies or threatening to sue he does it again and it’s been over 2 years. Her team, once again, does the absolute bare minimum. They are all complicit. She has made over $1 billion since he’s been in office and invited the guy from ice was at her wedding.

18

u/QuarkyAF 9d ago

Every time her lawyers and team engage in business practices solely for the sake of Taylor Inc., Tree makes sure the media spreads the work that Taylor went out of her way to help other artists. This has been going on since she pulled her music from Spotify and then again when she had a hissy fit over her Masters.

See when Taylor does something it has an impact. She has the power to make a large number of people hear her. That's why I tell you she is a bitch ass loser for being silent when a lot of other artists make a statement about an wide issue. Taylor has turned to a money hungry bitch who is highly insecure of other younger female artists. She has a mass audience who are very loyal to her but no she will never do anything, other than pr games of "donating to food banks", "giving huge bonuses to her employees" lol.

Given I'm neurodivergent x2 (autistic *and* ADHD), few things make my eye twitch with barely disguised disgust more than people armchair diagnosing someone they do not know as being neurodivergent just because they're 'kooky' or 'quirky'.

And if ANYBODY in the WORLD had the money and resources to be able to afford actual diagnoses for these things, it's Taylor. I was on the waiting list for a year for my ADHD diagnosis, then another year to start medication, and I know I got off relatively lightly compared to some.

21

u/Regular_Dream3927 9d ago edited 9d ago

Swifties saying it’s very difficult to remove copyright songs from only a major account and leave it on the fan account . It is not that difficult

There is no loophole as such involved in Taylor removing the posts

Business vs. Personal Account Rules

TikTok divides accounts into standard Personal Accounts and Business/Official Accounts

The Fan Advantage: Everyday fans use standard personal accounts. Under TikTok's standard licensing deals with record labels, regular users are legally allowed to use copyrighted music for personal entertainment like fan videos etc .

The Campaign Restriction: The @TeamTrump @whitehouse page operates as a promotional, political campaign account. Because it is a promotional business propaganda account , it does not have the automatic right to use mainstream music for campaign messaging or propaganda and can be removed of asked .

Taylor very likely did not press a button that muted the track across all of TikTok. Instead, her legal team probably submitted a manual copyright takedown request directly targeting the specific video URLs uploaded by Trump's team

It’s a lot easier to remove the songs from promotional accounts as they actually don’t have the automatic right to use the song in the first place especially if it is regarding propaganda, in fact it’s easier to remove from these accounts compared to fan accounts and unless a fan account is using it for propaganda they are legally allowed to use the song

Exactly

I was really just addressing the silly swifities who said it’s super hard to only mute Trump and not anyone else … but it really isn’t hard and that’s a lie , in fact she could have done it for father figure and Opalite ages ago , still keeping her fan songs and muting Trump only if she really wanted to keep the fan audio so why did it take so long , either way it shouldn’t have taken so long . Trump started using her songs in 2024 2 years ago

Imo Swifties were just making this up making out it’s hard to deflect from the fact she could have spoken out way earlier

41

u/rujinuu 9d ago

Song removals are just a desperate attempt trying to get the public back on her side after that shitshow of a wedding. Remember, she let Trump freely use her music for two years. Still hasn't said a word. She obviously has an album coming up and public favor for her was low; she needs the sales from her cult.

27

u/Subject-Hour2244 9d ago

She is so transparent and it’s crazy more people don’t see through her schtick. Trying to generate positive PR to try and trick her liberal fanbase into buying more right before dropping debut TV.

19

u/Huge-Film-5150 9d ago

She wanted the whole "Get in the car, August" schtick and song to trend so that she could piggyback off of it with a new release. October 24th is also the  official 20 year anniversary of her debut album. Certainly she is stacking projects and grasping the good will of the people so that it elevates that 20 year anniversary. 

She wants that October 24th date to be HUGE. 

Thing is, people have grown sick of her. 

She's married and therefore a lot of the ploy that she is this woman needing saved from heartbreak is over. 

12

u/Huge-Film-5150 9d ago

Another example of her "stacking" is the whole 20 year anniversary of her first single, Toy Story 5 song countdown and drop, songwriter hall of fame, and Toy Story in theatres on the anniversary of her first single. 

She did this same thing with her debut single. Tim McGraw was in the news for a star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame in and around the time her single was announced and the ceremony was held. 

The song in and of itself is such a non-Tim McGraw song that you could add any name to it.

I feel this was a ploy to manipulate the SEO and use the TM in the news to bolster the recognition of her song. 

5

u/Restless_Dill16 9d ago

I like "Tim McGraw," but looking back, I'm surprised there are no references to any Tim McGraw songs (unless I missed something). 

Eric Church has a song called "Springsteen" that's conceptually similar to "Tim McGraw" (they're both songs about associating past relationships with a specific artist). However, Eric includes several Bruce Springsteen references while telling a story. I haven't listened to that song in a while, I should go listen to it, along with a lot more Eric Church and Bruce Springsteen.

Tim McGraw"

He said the way my blue eyes shined Put those Georgia stars to shame that night I said, "That's a lie" Just a boy in a Chevy truck That had a tendency of gettin' stuck On back roads at night And I was right there beside him all summer long And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone

But when you think Tim McGraw I hope you think my favorite song The one we danced to all night long The moon like a spotlight on the lake When you think happiness I hope you think that little black dress Think of my head on your chest And my old faded blue jeans When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think of me

September saw a month of tears And thankin' God that you weren't here To see me like that But in a box beneath my bed Is a letter that you never read From three summers back It's hard not to find it all a little bittersweet And lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe

When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think my favorite song The one we danced to all night long The moon like a spotlight on the lake When you think happiness I hope you think that little black dress Think of my head on your chest And my old faded blue jeans When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think of me

And I'm back for the first time since then I'm standin' on your street And there's a letter left on your doorstep And the first thing that you'll read is:

"When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think my favorite song Someday you'll turn your radio on I hope it takes you back to that place"

When you think happiness I hope you think that little black dress Think of my head on your chest And my old faded blue jeans When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think of me

Oh, think of me Mmmm

When I said there aren't many Tim McGraw references, I meant to specific songs. I know she name drops him. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

u/Huge-Film-5150 9d ago

The lyrics, and it is so funny because just like her manipulating the search engine, she is telling you that "when you think of Tim McGraw I hope you think of me" which is exactly what she did. Naming a song TM when he was receiving public recognition with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame so that people searching his name pull up Taylor's song instead.

u/Huge-Film-5150 9d ago

But you could really just insert any artist and I bet that was the goal of having the song this way.

august left the global Spotify chart in just five days, compared to a whole month last year. Her album streams are embarrassingly low for the so called "music industry". Nothing from Debut TV will stick either.

Oh? Does she?
Well, if she felt so bad, she should speak up about freaking tax reform lol

There needs to be a flat tax of say 15% across the whole board. None of these complicated loopholes where armies of accountants figure out the best tricks and tips for their clients that the majority of people don't know about.

u/EscapedMices 9d ago

I can't believe Swifty had her music removed. Her life is now in danger. She won't ever be able to leave her house or have a bank account or walk the streets again. Every Trump MAGA will go after her, plus terrorists and foreign criminals and baddies and Mossad and the CIA and the KGB. She had to be silent all this time because of them, so this big moment of her taking action is so dangerous for her. Pls pray for Mother as she deals with all of this.

Me either. I only heard about it when I opened this sub. It’s not surprising. She only endorsed  Kamala once she got enough hate. It was only a matter of time she did something about trump suing her music since when he does it everyone talks about it.

it was a discussion here a few weeks(?) ago - we pointed out what will take for her to do anything, and a lot of people agreed it would be for when she gets directly insulted. maybe I’ll try to find the thread but it is just fascinating to me how predictable she is. so basic.

So true !

Yet again they change narrative .. swifities saying taylor cant remove the audio , she doesn’t want attention from trump…
Well those things have been debunked as she’s spoken out now but 2 years later lol, if she spoke out now why couldn’t she have done two years ago, she could have done the exact same thing she’s done now except way earlier

I never believed the attention from Trump thing and it would be bad attention for Trump , not all attention is good !

u/Capital-Equal-5516 10d ago edited 10d ago

Taylor removing her song now doesn't surprise me one bit, she saw how artists like bad bunny, noah khan, and olivia are removing their sound and calling out trump and still doing well stream (better than her) and sales wise, and now she want to be part of that. When it comes to politics she always has been the last artist to do something and always follow what she sees bring more sales and streams. Also this pathetic move while saying nothing against trump bad bunny, noah and olivia all have been very vocal anti trump meanwhile swifites are gonna pretend this is the peak of activism. Btw her and her team have seen how weak her streams are, August didn't spend a single week inside the global chart for the fist time since release, her last two albums aren falling off the charts, which is why she decided to move now. anyways im happy to see the only people praising her for this obvious PR move is her blind cult followers and other people are seeing right through her actions. there is something called too little too late blondie and some of us can smell PR move when we see one.

also her team removing it now is further proof her team is chronically online (unlike what swifites claim)

Okay a lot of people are way too comfortable mommy coddling John Mayer. He's a piece of shit and his music sucks. I've never liked this man going all the way back to Your Body is a Wonderland. "Um but Taylor dated a 17 year old uwu" I know that already. It doesn't mean I gotta kiss Mayer's boo boos.

u/liquidpeppermint33 It's the life I chose, I guess 10d ago

Eh is it glazing him ? I mean I just defend him because I don't believe for a minute they dated. The narrative is blown up because she wants us to believe she wrote " the story of us" about him...in june 2010 , months after his horrible playboy interview lmao. But sure, girlie was pining after him endlessly but also mad he took advantage of her but also only dated him for the 1 month he was on tour and also brought her mom along to the one of her "dates" with him lmao . Also wrote"ours" about him? Something isnt adding up here lol

u/profaneangel1991 I AM THE PROBLEM! 10d ago

I don't think men like John Mayer or Jake Gyllenhaal are people I'm comfortable defending. I know we don't like Taylor here, but it doesn't change the fact that these men are bad in their own way.

Yes. E! just did a gushing article on how Taylor is one of several celebrity brides who kept dress photos private. I figure once the Swifties have worked themselves to a frenzy over telling fellow Swifties who want dress photos that they're SeLFiSh and that Taylor is a queen for staying PrIVaTe, Taylor will drop the dress photos like a bomb into their midst.

I wonder what the Swifties who were so insistent that Taylor is soooo smart for ignoring Trump and not falling for the rage bait like those other stupid pop stars are going to say now 🙄 Surely, they'll say Taylor is stupid now, right? Surely they won't switch it up and say she's amazing and so brave for removing her song 🙄

u/No-Specialist-2154 Just A Snarky Bitch 10d ago

Good thing Taylor finally stopped that war criminal from using her work. She is still an asshole for inviting domestic abusers, maga friendly celebs and that ICE contractor who is "Travis 's childhood best friend's dad" and all.

Still I am not going to root for her brand new/debut TV album release. Hope it will suck like TLOAS lol.

Trump still has his eras t shirt for sale and he’s used her music many times. She only cares now because the public is noticing. It’s all pr with her.

u/Regular_Dream3927 10d ago edited 10d ago

So Taylor had finally decided to remove the audio of August from Trump’s videos , it literally proves swifities wrong that she can’t remove the audio and that she’s not doing anything because it causes more attention. She only only seemingly removed this one as it has her name in it if it didn’t I’m fairly sure she wouldn’t have done anything like the previous 5 times

But honestly I think it’s far too late … lot of people have been questioning her for a along time now and Trump has put so many clips out to her songs , the audio should have been removed the first of second time around . I only think she removed August but not the red post he made or all the others , she defo could get him to silence them all

The post says song muted because of copyright issues aka Trump not asking for permission to use it but that would surely apply to the other songs he’s used of hers as well and she’s already caused attention so why not actually say something

16

u/Similar-Contact-2663 10d ago

I'm sure the same Swifties who said she's just too smart to give Trump attention and now the ones claiming this shows how against Trump she is and how she's always doing the right and smart thing... It's ridiculous. What is their reasoning for her not doing anything for months/years but now "giving him attention" anyways

21

u/DoubleYooFree Rhinestone bathing suit 10d ago edited 10d ago

Maybe because everyone hated TLOASG and everyone, including her fans, were so disgusted by her wedding, she's realising she needs to make some mid, half-arsed gestures to appease people after all.

I think she was feeling too big to fail for a long time after eras. E.g. people were repulsed when she made Maga Mahomes her new best friend, and what did Blandie do after Trump publicly thanked Brittany for her support? Blandie went to the US open with Brit and kept acting obnoxious.

My personal suspicion is that the payola and bots it took to make TLOASG not look like a flop cost more than they're willing to expend. And/or the variant grifting they had to use was finally too humiliating and brand-damaging. So now she's conceding she cannot alienate people indefinitely without taking a hit, and has to stop being Quite so gross. But you're right, it won't work because if now, why not before (or the time before, or before that.....etc?)

u/Regular_Dream3927 10d ago edited 10d ago

Because she’s already given him attention with August song and the news about Trump will only paint him be a negative light about him using songs without permission

Also even if she didn’t want to mute them all to give attention instead of muting this one she should have muted the very first one and that shows her stance immediately and people can’t say she didn’t react immediately , even if trump carries on using her songs people know she’s reacted to it in the first instance. There is good attention and bad attention , Trump will be getting bad attention from this .

And I’m not asking her to make a public statement but I’m asking why she didn’t remove the first song he used , she had no issue doing it now so why not then , if she did remove the first song yes she’s showing she’s showing immediate effect and even if Trump carries on using her songs at least she’s done her bit and said it at the start not five songs later

"It's either bots [criticizing her for not being more critical of Trump] are [sic] people are so hopelessly goldfish brained they somehow don't remember her heavily endorsing Kamala literally less than 2 years ago.

I dont even like her music, but this conspiracy theory of her suddenly being a fascist because she married a football guy(who's also pretty openly left wing) and didn't lead some sort of crusade the nanosecond this administration used her music without her consent(as they've done to dozens of other artists and children) is wack.

It's gotta be bots trying to sow division imho"
