Scooter Braun On Taylor Swift Feud: ‘Five Years Later, It’s Time To Move On’

Scooter Braun has again weighed in on his and Taylor Swift‘s highly publicized feud over her music rights.

After the 2019 debacle became the subject of a new Max documentary this summer (“Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood“), Braun told an audience at the Bloomberg Screentime event in Los Angeles on Tuesday that he wishes people “would move on.”

“I watched [the documentary] recently,” said Braun. “I wasn’t going to watch it because I just thought it was going to be, like, another hit piece. And I pretty much stayed quiet about this kind of stuff. And my dad called me and my mom, and they were like, we just watched it. We think you should watch it. So I did.”

After Braun’s Ithaca Holdings acquired Scott Borchetta’s music label Big Machine, which included the master rights to Swift’s first six albums, a long-lasting debate ensued between the pair that eventually led Swift to successfully re-recording her first few albums.

Split into two episodes — one covering Taylor’s version of events, and the other Scooter’s — the “Bad Blood” series did little to uncover any revealtory facts, but did rehash Swift’s claims that the sale of her master’s was conducted without consulting her.

“Look,” said Braun on Tuesday, “It’s five years later. I think, everyone, it’s time to move on. There were a lot of things that were misrepresented.”

Braun continued the conversation by emphasizing how important it is “in any kind of conflict” that people “communicate directly with each other,” he said. “I think doing it out on social media and in front of the whole world is not the place. And I think when people actually take the time to stand in front of each other have a conversation, they usually find out the monster’s not real, and that hasn’t happened. And that has not happened.”

Earlier in the conversation, Braun, who is now the CEO of HYBE America, shared he has no plans of returning to managing artists after forming the careers of Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and more. Notably, Braun added if he were to manage someone, it would have to be someone who is already a “huge star,” someone like Swift.

Braun didn’t elaborate further, but noted Swift as one of those “artists that you should always bet on,” due to her relentless nature and efforts in the music industry.
