Scooter Braun has said that he regrets how things turned out with Taylor Swift when he acquired her former label Big Machine back in 2018.Although – like Swift – he somewhat blames the label’s former owner Scott Borchetta for the massive fallout that followed the announcement of that deal.

On this week’s episode of NPR’s The Limits With Jay Williams, music mogul Scooter Braun joined the former NBA star — and his longtime friend — to discuss his life and career.

Scooter Braun learned a big lesson after he acquired Big Machine Records in 2019, resulting in a controversial dispute with Taylor Swift.

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor As has been well documented, the 2018, Scooter Braun-led acquisition of Big Machine Music Group — and the rights to Taylor Swift’s first six albums — caused some controversy. Swift — who had attempted, unsuccessfully, to acquire the rights herself — was outraged, launching not only a global dialog about artists owning the rights to their work, but sticking it to the new owners by beginning a campaign to re-record all of those albums and encouraging her fans to stream the new “Taylor’s Versions” instead of the earlier ones; two such albums have been released to great success. She had few kind words for Braun in the process. Braun bore the substantial wrath of the Swifties for a year or two before selling off the catalog (for a tidy profit) and said he had attempted to speak with the singer about the issue multiple times after the sale was finally revealed, to little avail. He has since sold his own company to the South Korean entertainment powerhouse HYBE, and continues to run it and manage the careers of Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and others.

Country singer Aaron Lewis recently spoke with Fox News Digital about his newest album, "Frayed at Both Ends," and what in his personal life inspired him in the writing process. Lewis is extremely proud of this album, going as far as calling it "one of the best records (he’s) ever made." He hopes making the choice to include one song, which is quite "politically charged," doesn’t prevent people from listening to the album as a whole and appreciating it for what it is. "The song in question has done incredibly well without really any support behind it at all," Lewis said "And the record has sold a bunch of copies because my fans like to have a record in their hand.

Big Machine Label Group founder Scott Borchetta responded to a scathing review of Aaron Lewis’ liberal-bashing country song "Am I the Only One" in order to defend the controversial track.  Lewis, the founding member and lead vocalist of the hard rock band Staind, has been branching out with solo country songs in recent years and his latest has already climbed to the top of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs thanks in large part to its pro-America message and harsh rebuke of the left.
