Taylor Swift covers Vanity Fair, criticizes Spotify

Adele teas on the cover tho

This is an interview so I suppose she was just asked about it and answered. No need to call her out with the spotify thing. Gaga campaigned for gay rights is it wrong for Taylor to campaign for the artists?

LOL, again, a songwriter and a lyricist are two different people who do different things. In fact, a professional songwriter means someone who composes music, not someone who writes the lyrics. And songwriting mainly is composing the music; the instrumental track. Someone who composes the music gets writing credits on a song in publishing music companies and album credits, just like someone who writes the lyrics. They're not credited separately in publishing deals and album credits. Sorry to break it down to you. 

Anybody who does some research, uses common sense, and reads between the lines, will know that what I am saying about Katy's input on her songs is credible and true, and how Taylor's team, record label, and management are the ones pushing for this Spotify and Apple thing, and how most likely Taylor's letter to Apple wasn't written by herself. Look's like you're the one who's lying to themselves.

Again, the publishing company shows that the professional songwriters/lyricists on all of Katy's hits had a heavy hand in helping her write her songs. Katy has professional lyricists on her hit songs. 

Taylor wrote the letter and she decides what she wants to do with her music and her brand, as she owns part of the label. She makes her career decisions and she wrote the letter. You are so butthurt that Taylor is outdoing Katy in every way possible, it's comical. Album sales, critical acclaim, awards and tour gross....all better than Katy is doing.

No way, no way. I wanna see the receipts! Oh, wait, you have none. All your receipts are just lies, false facts, and delusion. I don't except you to show me proof tbh. CAUSE YOU HAVE NONE, AND THE THINGS YOU'RE SAYING ARE NOT TRUE. LOL 

Publishing companies such as a ASCAP and BMI do not specifically state how much input credited composers and songwriters had on the song. You can believe all the other things you said. But that doesn't make the true.

Publishing companies absolutely make this information available. For instance, if you go to Universal Publishing Group, you will see the percentages on New Releases. To get to the back catalogue, you will need a password. Those percentages are used by publishing companies to know what percentages to pay songwriters when songs are played or when they are sold for use in commercials, movies, TV shows, etc. 

If if you are at a radio station or work at getting rights to record songs, like people who work in that area on singing shows, etc., you need these percentages. These facts are in black and white.

Now I know that you're a big lier. First, you talk about ASCAP and BMI, but when I debunk what you said, you change the subject to Universal Publishing Groups. Guess what? Katy's music isn't registered at Universal Publishing Groups (even if it's something that only insiders with a password can access to, there are still no signs of Katy's music being registered or published there). Plus, Universal is not like ASCAP or BMI. Universal Music Group is a record label. Katy's music is published and released by Capitol Records (the record label which she is signed to), not by Universal Records. Publishing Music Companies which ensure a songwriter's or composer's payment and credits are SESAC, BMI, ASCAP, and PRS, not Universal. Katy's music and songwriting credits also have been published through ASCAP & BMI.

Please, stop making up stuff just to prove your point. It's embarrassing. At first it was funny and cute, but now it's annoying and boring. Stop trying so hard.

im not even a Katy fan but sis.. :air:  ain't no way the critical acclaim to be real, she probably paid for it, in this one im going with Katy, she seems more real than Taylor & even her hits are way better than Tay's, taylor music is so cheap, basic & bland, i will never understand the praise & the love for 1989, it's so crappy

This is how PDs and other music industry professionals get the rights to songs for commercial use. 

You can go on pretending that this information isn't out there for music industry professionals, but your version isn't the truth.

Taylor has more critical acclaim than Katy. All you have to do is look at Taylors overall critic scores on her albums and her Grammy and Songwriting awards. 

Thats fine, if that is your personal opinion, but the music industry and Taylor's sales do not line up with your personal preference.

Glad I'm not the only one who considers this possibility. Not saying it's definitely true, but...that kinda stuff still happens in the industry. Quite rare for mostly straight, middle aged, male critics to like such a girlie pop album, or any of her albums, really. I'm also putting forward the idea that her label try to silence the negative reception as much as they can and don't allow Wikipedia to publish negative reviews. The Washington Post always liked her albums and Wikipedia always published them, but they weren't too complimentary about 1989 and suspiciously, for the very first time, their review wasn't published on Wikipedia.

yep, im pretty sure that might happen, i have a lot of friends who listen hipster music & hated 1989 so much, and they sometimes agree with critics, so it's not possible so much praise for such album, i just don't believe it

Also i noticed something like that, a few days ago when everyone was bashing her on twitter for the apple music thing, saying she were a 'fake greedy b', suddenly there was a lot of tweets about something else praising her, the funny thing is all the tweets were written exactly the same, her PR team is working so well tbh. so the 'critical aclaim' for a teeny pop album it just doesn't seem real, if you look back in time & see critics to a teen album they always destroy them, and also all about her seems just so fake, i don't buy it

If Bey pays awards & rights to appear as she writes her music, you can easily buy critics tbh.

Taylor's sales, as if the sales is = to talent/quality, i mean a lot of people eat McDonalds, yet, that **** is garbage u know?

Sure jan. If only you had receipts that could back up your claims. 

Universal Music Group is a record label, and not a record label which has published Katy's music, or a record label which Katy is signed to. How can you see details on songwriting credits and royalties of Katy's songs through a company which Katy is not even associated with, and neither is her music.

I'm not pretending anything. I'm just being realistic.
