Big Machine's New Statement About AMAs Was Not Approved by Dick Clark Productions

Big Machine's New Statement About AMAs Was Not Approved by Dick Clark Productions

The plot is thickening in the drama between Taylor Swift and Big Machine Label Group as we inch closer and closer to the American Music Awards, where Tay is being honored with the Artist of the Decade Award.

The 29-year-old singer said last week that her former label was blocking her from performing her old music at the AMAs on November 24.

After several days of claims being made from both sides of the feud, Big Machine released what was believed to be a joint statement between them and Dick Clark Productions. The statement noted, “The Big Machine Label Group and Dick Clark Productions announce that they have come to terms on a licensing agreement that approves their artists’ performances to stream post show and for re-broadcast on mutually approved platforms.”

Now, the production company behind the AMAs says they have nothing to do with this statement.

Taylor Swift' AMAs Performance Has Been Approved by Big Machine

Taylor Swift' AMAs Performance Has Been Approved by Big Machine

We’re very happy to report that Taylor Swift will be able to perform her old songs during her Artist of the Decade performance at the 2019 American Music Awards!

The 29-year-old singer asked fans to speak out on her behalf after she says her old label was blocking her from singing old music at the awards show.

If you missed the controversy last week, here’s a quick recap: Taylor released an open letter claiming that her former label, Big Machine, was blocking her from performing her old songs during her Artist of the Decade performance at the AMAs. The label then released a statement denying the claims and then the singer’s rep spoke out to reveal the truth.

A new statement from Big Machine and the AMAs’ producers Dick Clark Productions was just released.

“The Big Machine Label Group and Dick Clark Productions announce that they have come to terms on a licensing agreement that approves their artists’ performances to stream post show and for re-broadcast on mutually approved platforms,” the statement read. “This includes the upcoming American Music Awards performances. It should be noted that recording artists do not need label approval for live performances on television or any other live media. Record label approval is only needed for contracted artists’ audio and visual recordings and in determining how those works are distributed.”
