Taylor Swift & Scooter Braun's Drama: A Full Timeline of What Happened with Her Master Recordings
Since 2019, Taylor Swift has been in the midst of a feud with Scooter Braun and there had been so much happening between them that we have everything recapped in one place.
It all started after Scooter purchased Big Machine Label Group for $300 million, which means he now owns all of Taylor‘s previous albums and master recordings.
Taylor said she was “sad and grossed out” by the news, which she found out when the rest of the world found out. She called out Scooter for the “incessant, manipulative bullying” that she’s allegedly received at his hands for years and said this is her “worst case scenario.”
In November of 2020, it was revealed that Scooter Braun actually sold Taylor Swift‘s master recordings to someone else.
