'Shake It Off' singer Taylor Swift took to social media to reveal that she has been banned from performing her own songs by the person who bought her back catalog and the owner of her record label. 

Swift shared a very explosive post on Twitter and asked her fans and followers to contact Scooter Braun as well as Scott Borchetta in order to get them to reconsider their decision. Swift claimed that the two had told her that she was not allowed to perform her old songs on TV as it would be considered a re-recording, something she has been banned from doing until next year.

Swift who is receiving Artist of the Decade at the AMAs next Sunday, will not be able to perform her old hits at the event either. Braun and Borchetta also prevented her from using her old songs on a Netflix documentary, which has been in the making for around two years now. 

She further claimed that Big Machine Records founder Borchetta as well as music executive Braun had told her to 'shut up or you'll be punished'. Braun had bought the label this summer and had acquired rights to Swift's old music. She shared a lengthy post on Twitter and captioned it, "Don't know what else to do". 

In the post, she wrote, "Guys - It's been announced recently that the American Music Awards will be honoring me with the Artist of the Decade Award at this year's ceremony. I've been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I'm not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I'm allowed to next year".

"Additionally - and this isn't the way I had planned on telling you this news - Netflix has created a documentary about my life for the past few years. Scott and Scooter have declined the use of my older music or performance footage for this project, even though there is no mention of either of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film," she added. 

"'The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you'll be punished. Right now my performance at the AMA's, the Netflix documentary and any other recorded events I am planning to play until November of 2020 are a question mark".
