(No, really; they asked!) None of which anyone is likely to have paid especially large amounts of notice to, since they were presumably speed-scrolling through the entire conversation looking for the part where Braun talked about Taylor Swift.
Braun’s public narrative has been inextricably linked to Swift’s star for a few years now, ever since the Red artist let it be known how unhappy she was that the exec—who managed Kanye West during many of the heights of his “Screwing with Taylor Swift†career—had purchased the master recordings of her first six albums when he bought her former label Big Machine Records.
Notably, Swift was decidedly un-shy about mobilizing her fanbase to pressure Braun into selling her the rights to her music back—which, Braun swears, he tried to do.
