"By Swift's own account, she'd had a fraught history with Braun long before he acquired her back catalog in a deal with Scott Borchetta, the CEO of Big Machine Records, Swift's former label. "Everyone in my team knew if Scooter Braun brings us something, do not bring it to me," she told Rolling Stone in 2019. "The fact that those two are in business together after the things he said about Scooter Braun - it's really hard to shock me. And this was utterly shocking.""
"The self-described "betrayal" drove Swift to rerecord four of her first six albums to reclaim ownership of her work. This wildly successful venture pushed new versions of Swift's old music back to No. 1 on the charts and partially inspired the Eras Tour, which became the first $2 billion concert tour in history. Swift has since bought her masters back from Shamrock."
Taylor Swift’s conflict with Scooter Braun began before Braun purchased her early masters in a deal involving Scott Borchetta and Shamrock Capital. Swift described the acquisition as a "betrayal" and cited team warnings about Braun. The loss of control prompted Swift to rerecord four of her first six albums to reclaim ownership. The rerecordings topped charts and helped inspire the Eras Tour, which reached $2 billion in ticket sales. Swift later bought her masters back from Shamrock. Several songs, including "My Tears Ricochet," "Closure," "Karma," and the new "Father Figure," appear to reference the disputes with Braun and Borchetta.
