Now she has licensed the rights to Petal back to those labels, which essentially means they will do the leg work while she retains ownership.<\/p>\n
An insider said: \u201cAriana has seen what happened with artists like Taylor Swift being taken advantage of with their masters, and has taken control.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new set-up means she can earn a lot more if it\u2019s a success, and can do things exactly how she wants to.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new label\u2019s name is believed to be a reference to the 1997 song Babydoll by Ariana\u2019s idol Mariah Carey.<\/p>\n
Petal is out in the middle of Ariana\u2019s Eternal Sunshine tour, which kicks off on June 6. There\u2019s no slowing her down.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTAYLOR SWIFT is one of the most talked-about women on social media \u2013 not that she would know.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
While she\u2019s not gone full Ed Sheeran and stopped using a phone completely, the singer has deleted her apps.<\/p>\n
Taylor said: \u201cI don\u2019t have social media on my phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks like I\u2019m just endlessly scrolling, but l\u2019m scrolling through words \u2013 like, the words in my file that I thought of four years ago at three in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cThere is a difference between art and going and ranting on Instagram live. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a song, this takes craft, this takes expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n
