Taylor swift foe scooter braun reacts to megastar finally buying back her masters 

Taylor Swift’s nemesis Scooter Braun showed his support after the pop star announced that she finally bought back her masters. “I am happy for her,” Braun, 43, told Page Six in a statement

Friday. Swift, 35, announced that she bought back her life’s work in a heartfelt letter to fans on her website Friday — a week after Page Six exclusively revealed that buying back her

masters was a possibility for the singer. EXPLORE MORE “I’m trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow,” she said in the letter shared on

her official website. “A flashback sequence of all the time I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiis close,

reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. “All of the music I’ve ever made … now belongs… to me.” Braun’s feud with Swift dates back to 2019 when he notoriously bought the rights to

her first six albums from — “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989” and “Reputation” — from her former record label, Big Machine Records, without her approval. Swift accused

Braun of being a “bully” and “the definition of toxic male privilege in our industry.” A year later, investment firm Shamrock Capital purchased Swift’s music from the manager. Swift began

re-recording and re-releasing her music in 2021 as a way of reclaiming ownership over her songs. FOLLOW PAGE SIX’S TAYLOR SWIFT LIVE UPDATES FOR THE LATEST NEWS, PHOTOS, FAN THEORIES AND

release “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” for months, the “Blank Space” artist announced Friday that she “[hasn’t] even re-recorded a quarter” of the 2017 album. WANT MORE CELEBRITY AND POP

“I’ve already re-recorded my entire debut alum. And I really love how it sounds now,” she said. Last week, a source told Page Six that it was Braun who was strongly encouraging Shamrock

Capital to sell the music back to Swift. “Interestingly enough, one of the individuals who is encouraging this deal to take place is Scooter, who was at the center of the deal the first time

around alongside Big Machine,” the source said. We also learned that the price tag of her masters would be in the ballpark of $600 million to $1 billion. “The team at Shamrock want to make

sure that Taylor has knowledge that they are trying to put this deal to her, as they are not sure that she was ever offered them the first time around,” our source said at the time. Clearly,

Swift was well aware of the opportunity and acted on it — with the blessing of her rival music mogul.
