Sop you beautiful bastards, hope you've been a fantastic Tuesday.

Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show.

And a quick note before we get started,

due to things out of my control tomorrow isn't going to be the last

Philip de-Franco show of the week.

This is going to be the last show of the week.

And know that this is equally if not more

annoying for me but it is what it is and we have at least our time together today and so with that said

let's just jump into it and the first thing we're gonna talk about today is some music news.

It doesn't actually have to do with Takashi 6-9 potentially facing 32 years to life in prison

due to those charges we talked about yesterday.

We had Taylor Swift in the news because she made a move in her career that also affects a lot of other musicians.

And that's because after being with Big Machine records since 2005 and releasing six records with them,

Taylor Swift's contract with them ended earlier this month.

And with that being the case, there was a lot of anticipation, a lot of curiosity to see what

Taylor Swift would do next. And yesterday, Taylor Swift announced on Instagram that

should be signing with Universal Music Group for a worldwide deal with U.M.G's Republic records as the

U.S. partner. And some of the big standout points from that announcement.

It's also incredibly exciting to know that I'll own all of my master recordings

that I make from now on.

And adding, there was one condition that meant more to me than any other deal point.

As part of my new contract with Universal Music Group, I ask that any sale of their Spotify shares result in a distribution of money to their artists non-recoupable.
