Inside the $300 million feud that ignited the public.
Almost five years after Scooter Braun purchased Taylor Swift’s masters, “Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun: Bad Blood” explores both sides of the highly-publicized and controversial acquisition in a new docuseries.
The two-part docuseries delves into the feud between the billionaire pop star and the veteran music executive. In 2019, Swift’s first six albums were bought by Braun’s Ithaca Holdings after Braun acquired the singer’s former label, Big Machine Records, in a $300 million deal.
Swift asserted that she was never consulted on the deal and, therefore, never given a chance to buy back her catalog. “This is my worst-case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept,” Swift penned on Tumblr at the time.
The singer continued, “Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.”
The 2 part documentary Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun: Bad Blood is now streaming on Max.
