News about Scott Borchetta

Bad Blood, which premiered on Max on Friday, suggests Taylor Swift was offered the chance to buy her master tapes in 2019 by BMGL boss Scott Borchetta - and again by Scooter Braun

Following a tumultuous debate over her back catalogue's ownership, Taylor Swift finally re-released her 2014 hit album 1989 (Taylor's Version) on Thursday. Fans of the major announcement have taken over X, which has also been known as Twitter, in a rage over the major release. The hitmaker, 33, who denied rumors that she is bisexual in the record's prologue, has re-released and announced the new version of the album to reclaim ownership of her music. Scooter Braun bought Taylor's original label Big Machine Label Group from then-owner Scott Borchetta, 60, for $330 million, effectively owning her music and ensuring she barely gains from her own tracks.

Kelly Clarkson is speaking out about a tweet she sent in 2019 urging Taylor Swift to re-record her old albums, implying that she may have offended Scooter Braun. Big Machine Records, Swift's old record label, was purchased by Braun in June 2019, making him the owner of her master recordings. She had been trying to buy back her masters before the company was sold to Braun, but the label's founder, Scott Borchetta, refused to buy the operation before selling the business to Braun.

Taylor Swift could be unable to get this one off. According to a study by Music Business Worldwide, Swift's father Scott Swift received a $15.1 million payday after her catalog was sold to Scooter Braun in 2019 amid tumultuous circumstances. Braun, 41, who acquired Taylor Swift's original label, Big Machine Label Group, from then-owner Scott Borchetta, 60, for a $330 million dollar.

After crashing his race car in Georgia on Sunday at the Trans AM2 Series, Scott Borchetta is now in'stable state.' According to motorsport website TobyChristie.com, the 60-year-old executive, who famously sold his name - and Taylor Swift's early master recordings - to Scooter Braun in 2019 was recovering after the horrific crash, which occurred during the 24th lap around the track. 'I can tell you [Scott] is fine,' I can tell you.' He is aware, and he's been communicating with his staff, but commentators shortly after the incident revealed that he is on his way to the hospital.' It was a big hit, but I am glad to report that he is now in good health and being admitted to the hospital.' That's the most recent information.'

Scooter Braun is outspoken for his controversial purchase of Big Machine Records in 2019 that resulted in Taylor Swift accusing him of being a "manipulative bully." This week, the 41-year-old music manager appeared on the NPR podcast The Limits with Jay Williams and discussed the contract, which gave him the freedom to music from many artists, including Swift's first six albums. The entertainment executive reacted to the scandal by telling Williams, 'I learned an important lesson' from the purchase. When he said, he was referring to Big Machine owner Scott Borchetta, 60, because he said, "I was under very strict NDA with the guy that owned it, and I couldn't tell any artist."

Kanye West may have a little more in common with Taylor Swift than he expected when he announced that his music collection had been on sale without his knowledge. On Tuesday morning, the 45-year-old rapper took to his Instagram Story to alert that the market is being tested for his music publishing catalogue. 'Just like Taylor Swift,' he wrote. My book is being sold without my knowledge. Not for sale.' This comes after Taylor's legendary feud with Justin Bieber's boss Scooter Braun over the selling of her highly coveted masters from the Big Machine Label Group for over $300 million.
