Taylor is on the right side of history guys. And I love her even more for it, I hope Robbie Williams reaches out to her because she’s doing the work #betterman#bettermanmovie#taylortomlinson
Thank you to every single person that has supported Walls and continues to do so. Releasing that record enabled so many things that I never thought would be possible on my own. Feel like we’ve come along way since then.
I don’t have a great grasp of time in general but the fact Walls was released 5 years is crazy to me!
I remember release day vividly, everything still felt so speculative back then, I had no idea what to expect. I feel really proud of the record looking back!
5 years ago today, we all sat and watched a wall being painted for six hours only because Louis told us to. Def was worth it tho. He revealed us the tracklist for his debut album. Good days 🤍

A Cover-Up?
It is with a heavy heart that I continue to reflect on the tragic passing of Liam. Losing him has reopened deep wounds from my own experiences and has brought to light once again the urgent need to address serious issues within the Music and Entertainment Industry.
As we’ve seen in the media, conflicting stories continue to swirl around Liam’s death, leaving those who loved him searching for clarity and closure. Sadly, this confusion is all too familiar. My own history with an organisation that Liam and I were once bound to, has been fraught with painful, unresolved events.
In 2015, I suffered a devastating violation—a sexual assault perpetrated by a senior member of Simon Cowell’s SyCo team, during a meeting that Simon Cowell had instructed. Simon Cowell was aware of what happened to me after a news outlet in 2017 requested comment from his team in response to an interview I felt brave enough to give thanks to the #metoo movement . This interview was stopped from being published and I was hounded by Simon Cowell’s Lawyers in an attempt for me to disclose my positioning, which confirmed they had the full account of the incident and seemingly tried to control the narrative. And yet despite Simon Cowell’s knowledge of this serious offence, he still kept this person on as an employee in a position of authority.
In 2019, there was another incident involving another victim and the same perpetrator. Only then was this individual ‘allegedly sent away’ to the Netherlands, a move that felt less like accountability and more like an attempt to hide something. Coincidence? Perhaps. But to many, it looks more like a cover-up.
These experiences leave me seriously questioning the ethics and priorities of organisations that are supposed to support and protect us. How many others are enduring their pain in silence, facing indifference or even CONCEALMENT from those in positions of power?
It’s time for these companies, such as SyCo to be held accountable and for their actions to be brought into the light. We owe it to ourselves, to Liam’s memory, and to every person who has suffered in silence.
We deserve answers. We deserve justice.

On behalf of everyone at Veeps, we will miss you Liam. We are deeply sad to have to say goodbye. Thank you for sharing your love, light, and music with us ❤️ We are sending gratitude, and love, to you, your family, friends and beloved fans 🙏❤️
It is with a profoundly heavy heart that I share this statement on the tragic loss of my dear friend, Liam Payne. We first met in 2010 on The X Factor, where Liam became my confidant and my rock, offering unwavering support during some of my darkest moments on that journey.
Liam was kind, with a pure heart, a sharp mind, and the wisdom of an old soul. His warmth and compassion left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His tragic passing not only leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of those who loved him but also serves as a painful reminder of the systemic neglect that persists in the industry.
There are those who had a responsibility to provide the care and support necessary for the well-being of young artists, but too often, the focus remained on profits rather than the people. This industry has treated talent like commodities, and the negligence of duty of care has once again led to a heart-wrenching loss. We need only look at Simon Cowell’s recent interview with Steven Bartlett, where he admits his greatest regret was not owning the band’s name. The real regret should be the failure to prioritize the emotional and physical welfare of the artists who put their trust in these institutions. Contracts, whether they are for television shows or record deals, come with a legal and moral duty of care that must be upheld.
My heart breaks for Liam’s family—his mother Karen, father Geoff, his sisters Nicola and Ruth, his beloved son Bear and Cheryl—and for all those whose lives have been forever altered by this unimaginable loss.
Liam, I am so deeply sorry for all that you went through. Your spirit will live on in the hearts of so many, and your story will continue to be told. The change the industry so desperately needs will come, and we will honor your legacy until it does. Keep singing in the sky, my friend.
With all my love,
Katie
