Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun vs Justin Bieber

Scooter Braun has acquired the Big Machine Label Group, including Taylor Swift’s music catalog for $300 million - that means all her masters - old music videos etc

Everything seems like just a normal business deal on the outside, but there’s more to the story.

Taylor posted on tumblr that she’s “sad and grossed out” and heartbroken by the news also claiming that Scooter has been bullying her for years

She claims she didn’t know that her masters had been sold until she read the reports and that she didn’t get a chance to buy them herself

"All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I've received at his hands for years. Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it.”

Justin Bieber has also jumped in with his own Instagram post saying Scooter has always had her back.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hey Taylor. First of all i would like to apologize for posting that hurtful instagram post, at the time i thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive.. I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshoted of scooter and Kanye that said “taylor swift what up” he didnt have anything to do with it and it wasnt even a part of the conversation in all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that.. Scooter has had your back since the days you graciously let me open up for you.! As the years have passed we haven’t crossed paths and gotten to communicate our differences, hurts or frustrations. So for you to take it to social media and get people to hate on scooter isn’t fair. What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? seems to me like it was to get sympathy u also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully scooter. Anyway, One thing i know is both scooter and i love you. I feel like the only way to resolve conflict is through communication. So banter back and fourth online i dont believe solves anything. I’m sure Scooter and i would love to talk to you and resolve any conflict, pain or or any feelings that need to be addressed. Neither scooter or i have anything negative to say about you we truly want the best for you. I usually don’t rebuttal things like this but when you try and deface someone i loves character thats crossing a line..

Even Scooter's wife has come to his defense:
