Explaining this thing from 2016

Her guitar teacher
.
He used her name on his website without her knowing about it, its literally invasion of privacy through misappropriation of name or likeness at its peak which is illegal regardless of who he is to her. 😭
Read: "Tort liability for misappropriation of a name or likeness is intended to protect the value of an individual’s notoriety or skill."
The fan merch
.
Taylor asked the fan to take them off the website because they sold things with the words "This sick beat" which went against the Etsy guidelines and is trademark infrigment which is yet again illegal regardless of who they are to her.
Read: "The only way to legally sell items with a trademark that you do not own is to obtain a license from the trademark owner. Trademarks are valuable property rights and are vigorously protected by their owners in most cases -- even against a small, localized business."
Streaming services
.
Taylor literally risked flopping and getting cancelled and took off her whole discography to fight for smaller artists knowing damn well that her albums not being on free streaming platforms during her peak would cause outrage y'all love twisting her words.

watch Miss Americana and you'd see what she says about that in the beginning.
she made a post urging her fans to vote and less than 48 hours after Swift’s post, more than 169,000 new people had registered on the site to vote
56,669 new voters registered in August and 190,178 registered in September. In October 2016, there were 405,149 new registrations on http://Vote.org  for the whole month. (also check this out 👇🏽)
She also kept pushing her petition for the equality act and it got 500000+ signatures.

"There was a petition, and there still is a petition, for the Equality Act, which basically just says we all deserve equal rights under the law"
"I want to thank everyone who signed that petition because it now has a half a million signatures, which is five times the amount that it would need to warrant a response from the White House"
And no, the media DOES NOT doll her up as a sweetheart. the media constantly slut-shames her and acts like she's some type of serial dater girl that's why she wrote blank space. The media is definitely not on her side.
now that's how you clear a b word
