Scooter Braun is a big name in the music business and is known for managing some of the biggest names in pop. Recently, he made news for attending high-profile birthday parties from the outside, which has fans and people in the business talking about it. But what has gotten even more attention is Braun’s choice to talk about his famous fight with pop star Taylor Swift after being quiet about it for two years. The media has been very interested in this fight since it started in 2019.
Braun and Swift got into a fight when Braun’s company, Ithaca Holdings, bought Big Machine Label Group, which owned the rights for Swift’s first six albums. Swift, who had long said she wanted to own her own masters, made it clear that she didn’t like the plan. She said Braun had been mean to her over the years and called the deal her “worst-case scenario.” Public outrage happened quickly. Swift’s fans quickly sided with her, and other artists also weighed in on the fight.
Braun had mostly kept quiet about the situation since the first explosion, even though there was still a lot of tension and Swift was still trying to get back her work by re-recording her old records. This changed recently, though, when Braun finally talked about the split in an interview. It was the first time in two years that he had done so in public.
Two years of silence broken—Scooter Braun finally addresses his rift with Taylor Swift.
Braun said in his statement that the fight had caused pain and hurt, not just for him and Swift but also for other people who were caught in the middle. He said he felt bad about how he handled the situation and said he hoped things had gone differently. “I regret and it makes me sad that Taylor had that reaction to the situation, and I think there are a lot of things that happened in the process that I wasn’t aware of and I didn’t anticipate,” said Braun. He made it clear that he never meant to hurt Swift, but he knows why she felt the way she did.
Scooter Braun’s quiet reflection or the start of something new?
After Braun’s words, a lot of fans and experts have said what they think about whether this is the start of a possible reconciliation or whether it’s too little, too late. Some people think that Braun’s choice to speak out now might have something to do with the big changes in his personal and professional life. In the past few months, Braun has been in the news for allegedly splitting up with a number of high-profile clients and dealing with personal problems. This has led to rumours that he may be trying to make peace as part of a larger plan to refocus and rebuild.
Swift hasn’t said anything back to Braun’s comments yet. It’s unclear how or if she will deal with this new part of the ongoing story, since she is known for being very protective of her artistic ethics and personal story.
Scooter Braun stays on the outside, but his words are making waves.
At this point, Braun’s absence from these birthday parties has come to represent his current position in the business: he is still a part of it, but maybe not as closely as he used to be. It’s still not clear if this is a sign of a change in how he approaches his job or just a desire to stay out of the spotlight while the drama continues.
