Taylor Swift & Scooter Braun’s Feud: A Timeline

Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun's feud kicked off after he acquired her masters. Here's a timeline of everything that happened.

Though officially beginning in 2019 — when the pop star first put former label boss Scott Borchetta on blast for selling her catalog to the SB Projects founder — the story actually starts over a decade prior, when Swift was simply a 15-year-old aspiring singer-songwriter. Big Machine denied keeping her from performing at the AMAs or blocking the Netlfix special — without directly addressing the use of her past hits in either — and fired back an allegation that Swift “has admitted to contractually owing millions of dollars and multiple assets to our company.” The entrepreneur went on to emphasize how important it has been for him since the debacle with Swift to make sure he has conversations with everyone involved ahead of major business moves — something he says he didn’t have the chance to do when purchasing Big Machine, as he was under a strict NDA that forbade him from contacting any of the artists on the label’s roster before the sale.
