Scooter Braun ready to move on from Taylor Swift feud

Scooter Braun, known as Swifty Enemy No. 1, is looking to move past his feud with Taylor Swift and believes it’s time for everyone else to do the same.

Braun’s Change of Heart

Braun recently watched the Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood documentary and expressed his desire for closure during a Bloomberg Screentime event in Los Angeles on Oct. 8.

“Look. It’s five years later,” Braun said. “I think, everyone, it’s time to move on.”

The Fallout

Braun revealed that he was persuaded by his parents to watch the Max documentary, which delves into the aftermath of his acquisition of Swift’s first six studio albums in 2019 for $300 million. Swift retaliated by re-recording the albums to reclaim ownership of her music.

The Documentary

Communication is Key

Braun emphasized the importance of direct communication in resolving conflicts, suggesting that social media is not the appropriate platform for such matters. He believes that face-to-face conversations can dispel misunderstandings.

Reflecting on Past Choices

Having retired from music management, Braun expressed regret over assuming that all parties involved in the deal shared his enthusiasm. He acknowledged the need for clearer communication.

“The regret I have there is that I made the assumption that everyone, once the deal was done, was going to have a conversation with me, see my intent, see my character and say, ‘Great, let’s be in business together,'” Braun shared.
