Taylor Swift Is Shutting Down All<br />Commercial Requests for Her Music.<br />In a recent interview with ‘Billboard,’<br />Taylor Swift revealed how she’s<br />taking control in her ongoing battle<br />with Big Machine Records.<br />Although she doesn’t technically<br />own her music catalog, Swift still has<br />veto power over all synchronization<br />licensing requests for her music. .<br />This includes the use of her<br />music in commercials, films,<br />TV shows and online videos. .<br />Thankfully, there’s power in writing your<br />music … Every week, we get a dozen synch<br />requests to use ‘Shake It Off’ in some<br />advertisement or ‘Blank Space’ in some movie<br />trailer, and we say no to every single one of them, Taylor Swift, to ‘Billboard’.<br />Although denying the requests<br />is most likely costing her millions,<br />Swift plans to continue doing so until<br />she is back in control of her music. .<br />And the reason I’m re-recording my music next<br />year is because I do want my music to live on.<br />I do want it to be in movies, I do want it to be in<br />commercials. But I only want that if I own it, Taylor Swift, to ‘Billboard’.<br />Under her contract with Big Machine, Swift will finally<br />be able to re-record her music in November 2020.<br />It’s going to be fun, because it’ll feel like regaining<br />a freedom and taking back what’s mine. , Taylor Swift, to ‘Billboard’
