Taylor Swift Wears Shirt with Past Album Titles, Sings 'The Man' at AMAs 2019 as Response to Braun & Borchetta
Taylor Swift was clearly sending a message to Scooter Braun and Big Machine’s Scott Borchetta during her performance at the 2019 American Music Awards on Sunday (November 24) at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
You’re probably aware that Taylor told fans that she was blocked from performing old songs during her Artist of the Decade performance as her old master recordings are owned by Big Machine.
While the label said she can perform anything she wants, the real issue would be the distribution of the performance on platforms like YouTube and others.
Taylor kicked off the performance wearing a shirt that featured the titles of her past albums, Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation. She left off the one album from her new label, Lover.
While singing “The Man,” a song that imagines how the media would treat her if she were a man, Taylor was joined on stage by kids who also wore the same shirt. She then ripped off the shirt to perform old songs like “Love Story” and “I Knew You Were Trouble.”
