Babe…

Ya?

So… u and ur bros… don’t own ur masters…

No. Lol… 😅… it’s actually very RARE that Taylor Swift owns her fuckin masters babe…

Hmmmmm…

What…?

Mmmmm… I dunno… does it bother u?

No babe. It doesn’t bother me.

Why not?

Because… it’s like Taylor said. Different priorities.

But… it’s like K-pop Demon Hunters.

How?!

U SOLD UR SOUL — THE MASTERS — TO GWI MA!!!!!!!!!

Hahahahhahahahahahha!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m being serious babe. I’m not trying to be funny.

Sigh… … …

I wonder if Backstreet Boys own their masters…

Do u wanna ask AI?

Okay. Hang on…

…

…

…

There is no publicly available information about whether or not Backstreet Boys owns their masters.

Uhuh… (chuckles)…

Hmmmmm…

What is it my love?

I dunno…

It doesn’t matter… that much…

Ummm… I think it matters a lot…

Why?! Just because it matters to Taylor?

Yeah.

Lol… 😏… just let it go babe… it’s not a big deal…

WHAT. IS THE POINT. OF BUILDING. THE FANDOM. IF THE MASTERS. AREN’T EVEN. YOURS?!

… … … 😳 … … … I can’t answer that right now.

Baby I know ur not as much of a numbers person… maybe there are many musicians who aren’t…

But the longevity of ur music is even more reason to own ur masters.

If u and ur bros are composing these songs together… and the fucking SHAREHOLDERS are the ones being fed in the LONG TERM?!

No u. Not ur WIFE. NOT UR FAMILY. IN THE LONG TERM. EVEN WHEN UR FUCKIN RETIRED. DISBANDED.

If ur fans STAY nostalgic for ur music and they fuckin keep streaming it. They even introduce it to their kids. The COMPANY gets that streaming money. Right?!?!?!

Is that right?!?!?! Is that how Masters work?!?!?!

Like after ur contract if ur disbanded then u don’t get a fuckin cent of that anymore, is that right?!?!?!

Cos u made the product. But ur not GETTING THE CONTINUED RETURNS.

SIGH…………

What the fuck did y’all negotiate in this contract?

Ummmmm… we didn’t get into those types of specifics…

IT DOESN’T MAKE A FUCKING DIFFERENCE IF U NEGOTIATED $5 MILLION MORE PER YEAR IN A FUCKING SALARY.

U DON’T HAVE UR MASTERS.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF CREATING ANY MUSIC AT ALL?!?!?!??!

Woahhhhhhhh…. babe… not every artist cares like that….

Sigh…

Do u care?

I get it, from Taylor’s perspective…

Honestly I’ve never had this conversation with the bros…

WHAT?

Have they watched the podcast?

No… 🤣🤣🤣

I just feel like… sooner or later… people will feel tired… and they will not bother to put in as much effort creating the songs knowing that they don’t even own the masters.

I… disagree… 🤣🤣🤣 lol…

It is a de-motivator. When u learn that u don’t even own the masters. For all ur blood, sweat and tears…

Awwww babe… I don’t think it’s that important?!?!?!?

It doesn’t matter if u distanced urself from the work.

Uhuh…

I am thinking of an analogy… but… I’m trying very hard to think of how best to communicate this…

Go on… … … ?

I’m very irritated by my mother right now while trying to communicate this. She just interrupted this conversation and I am very upset.

By her or by this conversation?!?!

EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE.

?!?!?!??!?!

Okay nevermind. She’s gone now.

Lol… 😅😅😅

I think that… u guys put a lot of heart into ur music. U put ur all into it. So much so it became so popular. So popular in fact it will be timeless. People thru different generations will continue to enjoy it.

Uhuh…

So… it’s ur right to receive ALL the BREAD 🍞 

The bread that is rightly YOURS.

It doesn’t make sense. It’s not like people who worked on the music like the band musicians get streaming profits etc.

Don’t they?!

…

Oh I’m learning other things from A.I.

Yes darling. Ur beloved Apple music pays more than Spotify.

Well my SUBSCRIPTION IS MORE THAN SPOTIFY.

Is it?

Yes but I got the package.

What package?

It’s not only music, it’s apple music, podcasts, TV… and cloud storage?

LOL… ur just giving money to Apple…

Yeah? 😅😅😅

I barely even use my cloud. I keep paying for storage that I don’t even use?! But it was just part of the package. I wanted the music, podcasts and TV. I didn’t care about the cloud 😅😅😅

Sigh… I don’t have… the brain for all this money talk… 🧠

Well ur OLDER BROTHER DOES.

MAYBE U SHOULD ASK HIM ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF OWNING MASTERS.

Sigh… what good would that do? 

I think he would agree that y’all should disband and come back to start ur own company and release ur own music and OWN UR MASTERS for the next albums when u start ur own company!!!

Sigh… … …

U don’t wanna do it?

🫠🫠🫠 I’m tired… I literally wanna retire and come home and chill with you…

Okay fine if u don’t care about ur masters then come home and chill.

Babe. I’m genuinely confused. Do u care that much that I don’t own the masters?

No… not really… 😒…

Lol… okay… good…

Why?

It doesn’t matter to me!!! It’s literally “not the priority” — just as Taylor said about other artists.

Okay I’m gonna muscle test this.

Okay?

…

…

…

Oh…

What?

U haven’t written those songs yet.

What songs?

The songs that REALLY MATTER.

What songs?! 😅

One day… Fernando is going to release a solo album…

Oh is he now…? 😏💕💕💕

And… he will release that album… and those songs… he will own those masters… 

Lol…

THOSE SONGS MATTER MORE. AND YOU WILL OWN THOSE MASTERS.

Mmmm… why do they matter more?

Ur gonna write them after we’re married.

OH…. INTERESTING….. 👀

Yeah. For some reason.

It could be a tiny album! It could even be like 5 songs?!

More like 55 songs…

HAHAHAHAHHA… no…?! I don’t know?!?!

5 albums of 11 songs.

That doesn’t make sense.

Why not?!

I don’t know!

Anywayyyyyy my point is when u write those songs AFTER we are MARRIED — it WILL MATTER TO YOU. TO OWN THOSE MASTERS.

Hmmmmmmmm… 🤔… okay yeah ur probably right…….

For some reason… u haven’t written the songs that mattered the most — yet.

When it MATTERS.

U will WANT to OWN. THE. MASTERS.

😏💕 u matter. U matter to me. If if matters to u that I own the masters to the songs I write after we’re married then it matters to me too.

It doesn’t matter to me! I think it matters to u!!!

Lol… 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
