In early November of 2014, while promoting her single "I Know Places" from her most recent album, "1989," Taylor Swift used a certain cartoonish fox on social media...

The lyrics next to the fox were from the single, and they read, "They are the hunters we are the foxes and we run..."

Okay, pretty sensible, pretty harmless. Right? Wrong.

As it turns out, the fox was the trademark work of New Orleans artist, Ally Burguieres.

According to reports, Burguieres' fox design had actually been previously stolen from someone else who then falsely added their name to the work.

As you can see in the comments, Burguieres kindly calls out Swift and her team for the blunder, providing links to her galleries and personal website, both of which feature her iconic fox design.

But not to worry. Someone like Taylor, who's served as such a heavy advocate for independent artists over the years, will surely make this right...right?

Wrong. After several days went by, Burguieres heard back from Taylor's social media team. They offered to compensate her for using her work, but on one condition...

That she donate all the money to "a charity of her choice." Woah woah woah, I'm sorry...DAFUQ DID YOU JUST SAY???

Real classy Team Tay. Real Classy.

After receiving the detestable offer, Burguieres took to Facebook once again, this time, to make a public statement about Swift and company's handling of the situation.

Let's just say she was a hell of a lot more gracious than most of us would've been.

Dear Taylor and shitty social media team, this is what artistic professionalism looks like.

Swift and co have yet to publicly respond to Burguieres, but if they don't soon, they can expect a lawsuit on their hands, and load of angry fans.

Looks like someone's in trouble, trouble, trouble. Shame on you now, Taylor.

Fix this, before you're lying on the cold hard ground...again.
