TMZ\/Getty Composite<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s battle with her old record label, Big Machine, over her performance at the AMAs should be over, but it\u2019s not, and the big question \u2026 why is she still reluctant to sing her old songs?<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Taylor has been angry at Big Machine and Scooter Braun<\/strong><\/a> over ownership of the masters of her first 6 albums. She claimed last week BM was withholding permission for her to sing her old hits, but the label fired back saying she can perform anything she wants during a live broadcast.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Our Taylor sources said that wasn\u2019t enough because Dick Clark Productions \u2014 which produces the AMAs and rebroadcasts\/repurposes the show \u2014 has to get permission from BM. Then on Monday, BM announced it worked out a licensing deal<\/strong><\/a> with Dick Clark Productions so Taylor could sing<\/strong><\/a> all her old songs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Taylor\u2019s people then complained that there couldn\u2019t be an agreement without notifying her camp in writing of the licensing agreement. That was done Monday, so all should be good. But, it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Now, we\u2019re told Taylor may not have enough time to incorporate the old songs in her performance, because such rehearsals take at least a month. Here\u2019s the issue \u2026 she told her fans last Thursday she had been planning to perform her old songs<\/strong><\/a>, so if she was planning to, you would think she would have rehearsed with them.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n On top of that, we\u2019re told Taylor wasn\u2019t rehearsing in L.A. this past weekend \u2026 she was at her apartment in London so it would seem she\u2019s locked and loaded.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n So the question \u2026 will you hear \u201cShake It Off\u201d at the AMAs? The jury is out, but we\u2019re not betting on it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
