If you’ve just logged onto the internet today, you might have noticed some ongoing drama between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun.

First things first, for those of you who don’t know who Scooter is, he’s got Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, J.Balvin and more big artists under his SB Project.
Recently, Scooter’s Ithaca Holdings, acquired Big Machine Label Group, the company that holds the rights to Taylor’s entire music catalogue up through 2017’s Reputation; amongst other things.

Let’s rewind a little. Before signing on to Universal Music Group late last year, Taylor was signed on to Big Machine Label Group, which was founded and owned by Scott Borchetta (Not to be confused with Scooter, totally different person.)
Unhappy with the deal between Scooter and Scott, Taylor took to Tumblr to share her thoughts about her “worst case scenario.”
She shared that she was shocked to learn of the acquisition news through social media and revealed that she had been previously “bullied” by Scooter and did not ever want to be associated with him. Taylor also insinuated that she was never allowed to purchase back the rights to her master recordings by Big Machine Label Group and instead had to “earn” them back.
Hours after Taylor released her statement, Scott, who has worked with Taylor since 2006 until she made the jump to Universal Music Group; responded with his own statement.
