I can't believe so many people tried to decode who the songs were about. I always sensed her discomfort and these old bullies (especially Ellen) who wouldnt leave this kid alone. She's got a big heart and stands firm. Good for her.

Funny that Ellen liked to have all these children(7-11 years old)on her show but she NEVER had the greatest singer of her generation-Jackie Evancho-on her show. I tried asking Jackie's mother about that but I never received a reply.

All these years later, she's still a great performer and an exceptional songwriter. I was so shocked when I found out that her record company brazenly sold all her master recordings to other parties without paying her a cent or getting her permission. Record companies are so greedy. They take most of the revenue from sales, then they have the audacity to demand ownership of all the artist's recorded work, even if they are also the songwriter. Things have to change. Not just for famous people, but for all those wanting to perform and write music. Recording contracts are not sustainable for the long term and the companies haven't realised that CD's are no longer around, and have been replaced by streaming services and digital downloads. Recording contracts are still pretending that they have the overheads that come with physical CD's/Vynals. They need to give singers and songwriters full copyright for their own work, and a higher percentage of sales. They current system is not sustainable. I hope Taylor gets justice for what was done to her. If this can happen to a superstar, then it can happen to any any unwary singer/songwriter.
