At least according to a photographer that worked with the New Romantics songstress.
Quote:
“As a freelance photographer, I am asked to photograph concerts by publications. I get paid IF and when the photos are used, not for turning up to a show and shooting it,” photographer Jason Sheldon explained on his blog, referencing a contract photographers have to sign in order to cover Swift’s performances. “Therefore, if the newspaper has a bigger story to run and doesn’t have enough room to use my photo, I don’t get paid.”

“When I’m not allowed to do anything else with the photos, that means I’ve incurred expenses to work, which I can’t recover,” he said. “Therefore preventing me from licensing my photos to more than one publication, or even (as later versions of this contract stipulate) preventing me from using the images for my own self promotion in a portfolio, while they can use them without licensing the usage, is highly unfair and unjustified.”
“You say in your letter that three months is a long time to go unpaid. But you seem happy to restrict us to being paid once, and never being able to earn from our work ever again, while granting you the rights to exploit our work for your benefit for all eternity. How are you any different to Apple?,” he continued.
This sounds like something the Lord wasn't even aware of, and his crying over one damn concert is a mess. Taylor wasn't the one who decided not to use your flop ass photos either, don't act like you were summoned. Total loser
