Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun: Bad Blood, a new two-part documentary from MAX, explores the long-running rivalry between pop sensation Taylor Swift and music business titan Scooter Braun. The dispute started in 2019 after Swift’s master recordings were acquired by Braun from Big Machine Label Group, which caused a public uproar. Swift chastised Braun bitterly, accusing her of compulsion and bemoaning her lack of authority over her own creative output
According to claims in Mirror, the documentary provides an intimate look at Swift’s inner struggle. This was mainly during this turbulent time. It depicts her dealing with severe psychological and professional difficulties.
Taylor’s response at Billboard Women in Music Awards
Music journalist Mikael Wood reported on a poignant moment during the Billboard Women in Music Awards, where Taylor Swift passionately expressed her distress, stating, “My music was sold out from underneath me.”
Swift revealed in a moving video statement that she was not given a chance to buy her music entirely. As a result, the entire Swift catalog was sold to Scooter Braun‘s Ithaca Holdings.
She stressed that, in order to perform their due diligence on their investment, none of the investors had ever attempted to get in touch with her or her team directly. Her statements emphasized the profound impact of the deal on her career and artistic integrity, both personally and professionally.
Another journalist, Zing Tsjeng, agreed, stating that Taylor Swift appeared to be in distress. She remarked that it was improper that someone had purchased Taylor’s catalog without alerting her. Tsjeng added that Taylor appeared visibly upset and struggled with the issue. Tsjeng stated that it was not the correct way to handle the situation.
Swift’s response and documentary format
Swift also released a statement that said, “Taylor has moved on from this ordeal in full and has transformed what was once an extraordinary circumstance into one of her most rewarding artistic endeavors.
Taylor’s legacy as a songwriter, performer, director, philanthropist, and supporter of artists’ rights will never be diminished by any of these individuals. Swift stated in June 2019 that she learned about Scooter Braun’s purchasing of her master’s degree as soon as it became public. She stated that all she could think of was the years of unrelenting, dishonest bullying she had experienced at his hands.
She went on to say that Scooter had now robbed her of her life’s work, which she had not been allowed to purchase, according to InStyle. The unique format of the documentary allows viewers to see both segments and create their own opinions, according to a press release that USA Today published.
