Taylor Swift allowed to perform old songs at AMAs

AFTER Big Machine denied Taylor Swift the opportunity to use her old music in the AMAs performance as well as old performance footage in the upcoming Netflix documentary which had sparked outbursts from Taylor’s Swifts fans across the globe, Big Machine released a statement to finally let her play her biggest hits in the upcoming American Music Awards (AMAs) on Nov. 24.

Last Friday, a Big Machine executive told TMZ that “Taylor Swift can 100 percent perform all of her catalog, past and present, on the AMAs.”

Apparently, the hold up on Big Machine’s end was that they were not certain of what happens to the live AMAs broadcast after it airs on television. So today, Big Machine, along with Dick Clark Productions, clarified that Taylor can perform any of her songs at the show – including re-broadcasts.

The companies reached out to TMZ to issue a joint statement, and said:

“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. 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.” (Cosmo)
