Scooter Braun suggests it's time to stop discussing the Taylor Swift masters issue

Scooter Braun is eager to pivot the conversation. He wishes to divert attention from the highly publicized and contentious sale of Taylor Swift’s master recordings. Braun stated, "Five years later, I think it’s time to move on" from this topic.

During his appearance at Bloomberg’s Screentime event in Hollywood, Braun remarked that the Max docuseries "Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun: Bad Blood" – released in June – misrepresented numerous aspects of the sale fallout. (Max and CNN share the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.)

"In any conflict, direct communication is crucial," Braun asserted. "Using social media for such matters is not ideal. When individuals engage in face-to-face dialogue, they often realize the perceived monster is nonexistent."

He noted that a direct conversation with Swift "has not occurred."

In 2019, Braun acquired the master recordings of Swift’s initial six albums from Big Machine Label Group, despite her disapproval. This transaction prompted Swift to issue an extensive statement on social media, labeling the deal her "worst case scenario." She also declared her intent to regain control by re-recording the albums.

Since then, Swift has released four "Taylor’s Version" albums, featuring previously unheard tracks dubbed "From the Vault Tracks."

"I want to own my music, and any artist with that desire should have the opportunity," Swift proclaimed to her Minneapolis Eras Tour audience after releasing "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)."

At the Bloomberg event, when asked which artist’s career he'd most like to be part of, Braun unexpectedly mentioned Swift, eliciting murmurs and gasps from the audience.

"The artist you should always bet on," Braun declared, "is Taylor Swift. She’s already a massive star, constantly striving for success and remaining relevant.
