theGrio reported that Taylor recently made headlines with a surprise announcement of retiring from the music industry. Feeling “underrated”, “overlooked” and tired of getting “the shorter end of the stick”, the singer took to Instagram Live to express her disappointment, frustrations, and her truth, while highlighting her problems with her label, Def Jam.
“Y’all save money in so many different areas so why don’t you take that money and actually put it into some motherf—ing marketing,” she said. “I don’t get the same treatment that every artist gets, no matter what label you’re on.”
While she expressed her wish to stop performing for herself, she did reassure fans that she wants to continue to work for other artists through choreography and direction. While many fans have reached out in support, hopefully, Taylor finds the peace and comfort she’s seeking.
