A $300 million deal for Scooter Braun has left Taylor Swift — and the internet — rattled, but it’s not crystal clear who’s in the wrong

Photo: Getty Images Well folks, it’s that time of year again! Taylor Swift is at the center of some very star-studded drama. There are so many threads here, and they’re all tangled up in the issue of artists’ rights — something Swift has been publicly passionate about in the past. A $300 million deal for Scooter Braun has left Swift — and the internet — rattled, but it’s not crystal clear who’s in the wrong. 1.

So this beef goes back to ancient times: 2016. The language of the Tumblr post is quite serious; phrases like “incessant, manipulative bullying,” “controlling a woman … forever,” and “sad and grossed out” will not sit well with fans or outsiders. It kicked things off very loudly. In what could possibly fan the flames, a report from Elle notes that Swift liked a Tumblr post that claims that Bieber cheated on Selena Gomez in the past, which is part of the reason they aren’t on amicable terms. Just some more drama being added to the mix.

The post, dramatically titled “So, It’s Time For Some Truth …” accused Taylor Swift of distorting the facts of the situation.

Borchetta also claims that Swift was offered a deal in which she could possibly own her music: “100% of all Taylor Swift assets were to be transferred to her immediately upon signing the new agreement. We were working together on a new type of deal for our new streaming world that was not necessarily tied to ‘albums’ but more of a length of time … Taylor had every chance in the world to own not just her master recordings, but every video, photograph, everything associated to her career.

susie_parker Any grown man by the name of Scooter is always to blame. Period.

Justin looks like Willie Nelsons younger brother. Aged like sour cream in an heatwave

YES IT FUCKING IS CLEAR WHO IS IN THE WRONG

SELL HER THE MASTERS.

Yes—it is crystal clear. They hustled her when she was young and stole her art and won’t give it back. There’s no excuse for this evil behaviour. New laws need to be passed to prevent this kind of outrageous behaviour in the entertainment industry by these career hustlers.

Its very simple, Scooter, sell her HER masters.

Taylor Swift: Scooter Braun’s Acquisition of Back Catalog ‘My Worst Case Scenario’“All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years,” singer says of music manager who purchased Big Machine Label Group and Swift&82… It’s kind of hilarious though that she’s using the time she got actually and really “exposed” for lying as a means for sympathy while “exposing” someone. That said Scooter has always been a doucher though. Damn shame. The ugliness of the music business on full display. This is why the future will be artists putting out all their own music. Very interesting article
