Scooter Braun wishes he could have done things differently when it came to buying Taylor Swift’s music library.
The 41-year-old manager has been at odds with Taylor since he controversially dropped a whopping $300 million to acquire her former label, Big Machine Records, in 2019. Consequently, Scooter obtained the rights to masters of several artists – including everything the 32-year-old singer created for her first six albums. This understandably did not sit right with Taylor. After the news of the million-dollar purchase broke, she shared how she called out Scooter for the “incessant, manipulative bullying” throughout her career and claimed she did not get the opportunity to buy back her music.
In November 2020, he then sold Taylor’s master recordings to Shamrock. And in an effort to stick it to the new owners, the musician began re-recording and re-releasing all of those albums, rebranding them as “Taylor’s Versions” (two of which are already out).

When Scooter sold her masters, Taylor also noted how the record executive “would never even quote my team a price” and wanted her to sign an ironclad NDA that would have silenced her “forever.” However, Scooter vehemently denied that in an interview with Variety in June 202, saying he did offer to sell back her music:
It has been a messy situation, to say the least, with A LOT of back-and-forth between the two. Scott has even borne the brunt of the wrath from Swifties over the past couple of years. And now, in a new interview with NPR’s podcast, The Limits with Jay Williams, he admitted to regretting the way things were handled with his acquisition of Big Machine! And it sounds like he is also slightly

Taylor Swift has said that her new song ‘Anti-Hero’ hears her delve the deepest she ever has into her “insecurities”.The pop star has been sharing information about her forthcoming 10th album, ‘Midnights’, on social media and telling fans about the cover artwork over the course of the last few weeks. In August, she officially announced her new record, which is based on “the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life”.As of yesterday (October 3) the singer-songwriter had revealed nearly half the album’s tracklist, which she has been unveiling incrementally.

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. Nonetheless, he admits to a certain level of “arrogance” to think that “someone would just be willing to have a conversation and be excited to work with me”.“I learned an important lesson from [the Big Machine acquisition]”, he tells NPR in a new interview.
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. During the interview, Williams brought up about Braun’s recent conflict with Taylor Swift, whose catalog he acquired in 2019 from her former label, Big Machine. Swift referred to the acquisition as her “worst-case scenario” at the time and said she was “sad and grossed out” by the way it had been handled in an impassioned Tumblr post.
Taylor Swift‘s master recordings.Back in 2019, Swift confirmed her plans to re-record songs from her first six records in a bid to take control over her music once again after music manager Braun and his media holding company, Ithaca Holdings LLC, acquired Swift’s old label, Big Machine Label Group, back in June 2019.The story then hit headlines again in late 2020 after Swift confirmed that the ownership of her back catalogue has changed hands again for the second time within two years.After news broke of Braun selling the rights to Swift’s music to the private equity company Shamrock Holdings in a $300million (£230m), the singer shared a statement in which she said that the master recordings “were not for sale to me”.“This was the second time my music had been sold without my knowledge,” Swift said. “The letter told me that they wanted to reach out before the sale to let me know, but that Scooter Braun had required that they make no contact with me or my team, or the deal would be off.” Swift’s statement claims that Braun will continue to profit from her catalogue “for many years”.Speaking this week on NPR show The Limits With Jay Williams, Braun was asked about the situation and whether he had any regrets about how he handled the deal.“When you bought the rights to Taylor Swift’s masters, it turned into a really big thing,” Williams said, adding: “If you could go back in time… Would you have handled it differently?”Braun then responded: “Yes, I would’ve.
Scooter Braun learned a big lesson after he acquired Big Machine Records in 2019, resulting in a controversial dispute with Taylor Swift.
NPR, he learned an “an important lesson” about transparency from the Big Machine deal about keeping artists in the loop. “I learned an important lesson from that. So when I ended up selling our company recently to HYBE, I told myself this time around, everyone is going to participate.
Scooter Braun is reflecting.
Taylor Swift was reportedly asked to host the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, but turned down the offer because the timing is not right. According to TMZ, Swift was approached by the NFL to host the next Super Bowl, but she declined, stating she does not want to perform the big event until she finishes rerecording her first six albums. A representative for Swift did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
