Did Y'all Ever Have That One Night Stand Mutual Where You Talked To Them Once And You Both Clicked Almost

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,

Hello, it’s Jungkook! If our ARMYs weren’t here I think that I wouldn’t be able to spend a day like today, my birthday that happily. I searched and looked at everything you guys did for me…thank you very muchㅠ there really was a lot..I also wanted to go to the cafe, sit down, have some coffee and bite into a hotdog..!!! Other than cafe (events) there are a lot of birthday ads here and there, good deeds, I saw it all. Just thinking about this and that I was excited even before my birthday and am very happy and grateful hehe Honestly receiving this many birthday wishes from many people (from my beloved ARMYs) is still fascinating to me and there are times when I’m not able to register it all. Makes me think if I’m deserving of receiving all this Truly, thank you so much.. ㅠㅠ I’m very happy. I’ve always uploaded a cover on my birthday but unfortunately I haven’t been able to do it this timeㅠㅠ so other than that I’ve prepared a present, little something to express my gratitude, I’ll upload that immediately a little later. Thank you very much for wishing me a happy birthday and I’ll spend a happy day💜💜

It’s one thing that Taehyung is drop-dead gorgeous when you look at him, and it’s another that he has such an adorable, upbeat, and quirky personality behind his handsome appearance, and then it’s just an all-kill that underneath all of that, he has this gigantic heart that loves and adores everything and everyone. Taehyung is just layers and layers of beautiful perfection.
