Scooter Braun Reacts to Taylor Swift Buying Back Her Masters 

Scooter Braun reacted Friday, May 30 to the news Taylor Swift is now the owner of her entire music catalog.

“I am happy for her,” Braun said, according to Page Six.

The saga between the two began in 2019 when Big Machine Label Group was sold to Braun’s company Ithaca Holdings. The deal included the rights to Swift’s first six albums. Those albums were “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989” and “Reputation.”

Swift Detailed How It Felt When Braun Purchased Her Albums

At the time, the “You Belong With Me” singer detailed how she felt hearing news Braun purchased her records.

“For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in,” she wrote at the time. “I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past.”

Swift went on to add she learned about the purchase at the same time everyone else heard.

Braun’s company owned Swift’s masters for under two years before decided to sell to Shamrock Capital, Variety reported at the time.

Swift continued to try to gain the rights back. While she was trying, she ended up re-recording four out of the six albums and dubbed it “Taylor’s Version.”

Swift Shares Her Excitement With Fans

In a lengthy letter penned by Swift on May 30, she expressed how happy she is to now own all of her music.

“Hi. I’m trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news,” she began. “All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis close , reaching out for it, only for it to fall through.”

The 35-year-old explained how she thought she would never be able to have her music back as it has been many years of battling.

“I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled then yanked away. But that’s all in the past now,” Swift wrote. ”I’ve been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I’ve ever made… now belongs… to me.”

Swift expressed her thanks for everyone at Shamrock Capital and joked that a tattoo could be in the future.

“I will be forever grateful to everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me. … My first tattoo just might be a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead,” she added.
