In the latest skirmish, Swift wrote, “Scott Borchetta told my team that they’ll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs next year and also told my team that I need to stop talking about him and Scooter Braun.” Swift also asked fans to fight for her, and issued a plea to fellow artists managed by Braun, which include Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and Justin Bieber. She also asked Big Machine investors The Carlyle Group to intervene.“Right now, my performance at the AMA’s, the Netflix documentary and any other recorded events I am planning to play until November of 2020 are a question mark.”
