After being honored as Billboard's first-ever decade honoree, the singer-songwriter addressed Braun supporters:"Of course he’s nice to you, you have something he needs," she said.'s first-ever Woman of the Decade honoree, Taylor Swift. star, asking Jamil to hold her award during her speech: “I don’t want this to slip and break because it’s so important to me.”
"When this decade began I was 20 years old,” Swift said. “I saw that as a female in this industry, some people will always have the slightest reservations about you." Examples include questioning "whether a male was really responsible in the studio… or whether it was a savvy record label [responsible for your success]. It wasn’t," she said pointedly. “People want to explain away a woman’s success in this industry.
Then, Swift called out what she sees as unfair music business practices with regards to private equity and other people's art. "Lately there’s been a new shift that has affected me personally, and as your resident loud person, I feel like I need to bring it up. And that’s the unregulated world of private equity and people buying up your music... like it’s a shoe line."
Swift didn’t let his supporters, many of whom were in the room, off the hook either, calling Braun "the definition of the toxic male privilege in this industry" and saying those who reply to her, "Well, he’s always been nice to me" are missing the point. "Of course he’s nice to you, you have something he needs," she deadpanned.
