If you thought that with her new pastel and glitter themed era Taylor Swift was going
to be sugar, spice and drama free then it looks like you were wrong.
Even I expected her to chill and sing about loving her boyfriend.
Instead, she exposed the ugly side of the music industry, and called out Scooter Braun!
If you have no idea what the fuss is about, I Marky Mark am here to explain everything
so sit tight and get ready!
The whole thing went down when Scooter Braun, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and recently
Demi Lovato’s manager, bought the Big Machine record label where Taylor started her career
as a country pop star.
And now Braun owns the masters to all six of Taylor’s albums, so it means that he
makes money off every stream or purchase of any song Taylor has released until 2017.
Now, when the news about Scooter buying the label broke, Taylor wrote a blog post explaining
her situation.
She revealed that for years she tried to gain the rights to her art back but all she was
offered was signing another deal with the label and earning one album back for every
new one she released.
Taylor said that Braun owning her music was her worst case scenario because he is a manipulative
bully.
She’s talking about that massive drama that went down between her and Kim Kardashian and
Kanye West after his song Famous was released.
If you don’t remember, it included misogynistic lyrics about Taylor and her nude wax figure
was in the music video.
There were also some leaked phone calls and snake emojis involved but that’s enough
of a throwback.
Well, at the time of that drama Scooter was Kanye’s manager and was involved in the
making of the Famous video.
So I’m not surprised that Taylor doesn’t want to be associated with him.
But the plot of the current drama thickens and none other than Justin Bieber gets involved.
The guy’s apparently on hiatus to take care of his health but whenever there’s drama
he always pops out!
In her note, Taylor mentioned a screenshot of Justin’s Instagram photo that he posted
after the Kim and Kanye drama took place captioned “Taylor Swift what up”.
He’s now made the effort on that post from 2016 and deleted the caption.
Sneaky, right?
As the drama unfolded multiple celebrities responded to Taylor’s post and took sides.
Bieber obviously took Scooter’s side.
I mean, what else would he do when he’s been managed by him his entire career?
Anyway, Justin shared an old photo of him and Taylor apologizing for his 2016 Instagram
post and called Taylor’s story unfair.
He also accused her of wanting her fans to bully Scooter.
Also, Scooter’s wife made a public post “defending her husband” and saying she’s
ready to talk privately to Taylor anytime.
She also said that Taylor threw a temper tantrum and told her to leave Her and Scooter’s
private life and kids alone.
I’m sorry, but where’s the logic?
Like, this doesn’t even have anything to with you.
No one’s attacking your personal life and kids so what did you bring them up??
Chill, woman!
We all know he is your partner!
Another celeb who threw her two cents was Demi Lovato who has just recently signed with
Scooter.
She said that Braun is a great man and she’s grateful that he came into her life.
Newsflash Demi, just because he’s great to you, doesn’t mean others have the same
experience.
And why is she making this about herself again?
People who sided with Taylor include Halsey who said that Taylor was her inspiration to
write her own music and deserves to own the art she made.
Iggy Azalea questioned the way in which the deals were made and said that Taylor could
have been informed about them sooner.
As much as I am for Taylor owning rights to her work, the way she ended her note makes
you think if her reasons are only about wanting people to know about her situation.
At the end of her note, she praises her new label and mentions the date of release of
her new album.
And starting a feud like this with one of the biggest names in the industry will surely
keep her name in the headlines for a while, don’t you think?
I don’t know, man!
Things are always blown out of proportion in this industry!
What do you think?
Do you think Taylor Swift’s genuinely outraged or is it just a PR tactic to promote her new
album?
