Nothing ends a public feud quite as smoothly as a licensing agreement, which is what Big Machine Label Group said it obtained ahead of Taylor Swift’s performance set for Sunday at the 2019 American Music Awards. Reps for Swift and Big Machine did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment. She even sicced her fan base on them, which caused Big Machine to shut down its Nashville offices hours early last Friday. “At no point did we say Taylor could not perform on the AMAs or block her Netflix special. In fact, we do not have the right to keep her from performing live anywhere,” Big Machine said in a statement last week.
