Scooter Braun Regrets How He Bought Taylor Swift’s Masters - STYLECASTER

Scooter Braun speaks out about how he handled Taylor Swift’s masters.

Scooter explained the list of events that occurred when that made him learn his “lesson.” When host Jay Williams asked if he wanted things with Taylor to be handled differently, Scotter said, “when I did that deal that you’re referring to with Big Machine, I was under a very strict NDA with the gentleman who owned it, and I couldn’t tell any artist.

And he shared a letter with me that’s out there publicly that – you know, the artist you’re referring to said, I don’t want to participate in my masters.”.

He continued, “When we finalized the deal, I started making phone calls to say, hey, I’m a part of this.

And before I could even do that – I made four phone calls; I started to do those phone calls – all hell broke loose.

Scooter acquired Taylor’s masters in 2019 and sold it for $300 million to a private equity company in 2020.

The masters were acquired when Scooter bought Taylor’s former label, Big Machine records.

Taylor re-released her previous albums Fearless (released in 2008) and Red (released in 2012), with Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version), both released in 2021.
