Taylor Swift claims Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta are preventing her from performing her old songs
Taylor Swift has published a statement on social media claiming that Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun are preventing her from performing her old material live, including at her upcoming American Music Awards performance. Earlier this year, Braun acquired Borchetta’s Big Machine Label Group for a reported $300 million dollars. The deal included the ownership of the six albums Swift released under Big Machine Records. Swift previously expressed dismay over the transaction, calling it her “worst case scenario.” Now, in a Tumblr note titled “Don’t know what else to do”, Swift details the restrictions she’s allegedly been put through. She begins by revealing her intention to play a career-spanning medley at next month’s American Music Awards, where she is be...
Taylor Swift GOES OFF on Scooter Braun: He Won’t Let Me Perform My Own Songs!
Taylor Swift did not want to do this. Really, she insists on Twitter, she did not. But the superstar says she was given no choice late Thursday except to take to her social media page and explain what the heck is going on between her and producers Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun. As you may recall, Swift previously blasted Braun — who is close friends with Justin Bieber and who is a major power player in the music industry — after his company, Big Machine Label Group, purchased Swift’s former record label. Why was/is this an issue for Swift? Because she says Braun now controls all six studio albums she has recorded and, as a result, basically owns her entire music catalog. What does this mean in a practical sense? In her Twitter post, which is titled “Don’t ...
