Scooter Braun Posts About Kindness Amid Taylor Swift American Music Awards Feud
Scooter Braun posted about kindness amid battle with Taylor Swift.
Taylor recently posted on social media about how Scooter and Scott Borchetta won't let her perform her old songs at the American Music Awards because they own her masters.
Days after Taylor Swift posted about her ongoing battle with Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta over her masters, Scooter took to Instagram to post about...kindness...of all things.
In case you're not all caught up, Taylor, Scooter, and Scott's feud is as chaotic and messed up as ever. It all started back in July when she accused Scooter of bullying and manipulating her by buying her masters and having his celebrity clients attack her online after that Kanye West phone call came out.
Fast forward a couple of months, and Taylor just posted a note about how Scooter, who bought Big Machine Records, and Scott won't let her perform her own songs while accepting the Artist of the Decade honor at the American Music Awards. She wrote:
"Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I'm not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I'm allowed to next year...Scott Borchetta told my team that they'll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs next year (which is something I'm both legally allowed to do and looking forward to) and also told my team that I need to stop talking about him and Scooter Braun...The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you'll be punished."
Celebrities like Cher have come to Taylor's defense while Justin Bieber has shown support for Scooter by posting certain headlines on his Instagram Stories.
And amid all of this, Taylor's PR rep claimed Big Machine actually owes Taylor $7.9 million in unpaid royalties, and TMZ reported that some of Taylor's fans are sending death threats to Scooter. (It should go without saying that no matter whose side you're on, that is never okay.)
On Friday, a Big Machine exec stated that Taylor would actually be allowed to perform her songs at the November 24 award show. And early this morning, Scooter took to Instagram to state, "Kindness is the only response." Well, this is interesting considering Big Machine had sent out a salty statement on November 15 basically calling Taylor a liar, but I digress!
