Would The People In The Back Row Clap Your Hands, The Rest Just ✌️

Rose that flows of angel hair

& midnight feathers in the air

And weather can-yons anywhere⚡️

I've looked at chords this way ❄️

The music video for “cardigan” will premiere tonight, which I wrote/directed. A million thank you’s to my brilliant, bad ass video team - Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, producer Jil Hardin, executive producer Rebecca Skinner, AD Joe ‘Oz’ Osbourne, editor Chancler Haynes, special effects wizards David Lebensfeld & Grant Miller and set designer Ethan Tobman. The entire shoot was overseen by a medical inspector, everyone wore masks, stayed away from each other, and I even did my own hair, makeup, and styling 😂 

I jammed with Paul McCartney, how was your night?

Hey Dave, what’s up?

Hey Perry, last night I jammed with Paul McCartney, how was yours?

My night? Awesome, read to my kids. You can’t spell awesome without me you know?

"60 seconds? You're gonna give me" ..

Attention @katyperryblog shoppers, due to safety regulations we no longer carry fireworks.

Pretender or Best of you? Tie

I don't know why we're talking about these gods among men, but I'm here for it 💜🤘

Suitcase of memories, time after time

The archer is really driving late night though city tunnels as the world gets smaller in your rear view mirror, the window down, hair blown back as your heart is heavy in your chest and the only light is the one emitting from the dashboard

/ˌvɪdʒ.əˈlæn.t̬i/

Members of a self appointed group of musicians who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate.

🎶I enjoy nights in Brixton🎶 …but especially when they’re like last night - NME  you really know how to have a good time. Met Clairo, beabadoobee & FKA twigs who are amazing. Got to tell Robyn she’s the melody queen of my musical heart. I got sprayed by champagne when people won & got to take another middle finger trophy home to the felines. Thanks for having me!! 🇬🇧🍾🥂

It’s always been my belief that when a musician chooses to release his or hers art to the world it belongs to anybody who is willing to listen. It’s always been a trade-off between personal integrity and how many people you want to reach basically. There is always a price to fame and you’ve paid it alright.

For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums. 

Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years. 

Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo) Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.

This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says ‘Music has value’, he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it. 

When I left my masters in Scott’s hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually he would sell them. Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words ‘Scooter Braun’ escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn’t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever. 

Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scott’s hands and not my future. And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make.

I will always be proud of my past work. But for a healthier option, Lover will be out August 23. 

Sad and grossed out,

Oh, she's the RedShift effect

Oh yeah, it’s the apparent change in the frequency of a tree caused by relative motion between the source of the tree and the observer

Oh sure, I see it now, the greenday effect

Are u too good for ur home?

Alright I’ve got to go driving, you guys um make yourselves profitable

okay

Just a friendly reminder that I would never have thought it was possible to go back and remake my previous work, uncovering lost art and forgotten gems along the way, if you hadn’t emboldened me. Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours. Tonight we begin again. Red (my version) is out now.
