Scooter Braun is urging Swifties to “move on” from his 5-year feud with Taylor Swift. The retired music manager and current CEO of HYBE America, who bought Taylor Swift’s old record label with rights to her masters and then sold them, addressed the topic last night at a Bloomberg Screentime event in Los Angeles.
When asked if he had seen two-part Max documentary, Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood, Braun confirmed that he had seen it. “I watched it recently,” Braun confirmed. “I wasn’t going to watch it because I just thought it was going to be, like, another hit piece. And I pretty much stayed quiet about this kind of stuff. And my dad called me and my mom, and they were like, ‘We just watched it. We think you should watch it.’ So I did.”
Braun noted, “Look, it’s five years later. I think, everyone, it’s time to move on.”
“There were a lot of things that were misrepresented,” he told the audience. “I think that it’s important in any kind of conflict that people actually communicate directly with each other. I think doing it out on social media and in front of the whole world is not the place. And I think when people actually take the time to stand in front of each other have a conversation, they usually find out the monster’s not real, and that hasn’t happened. And that has not happened.”
When asked what artist he would pick to build a new company around, if he was to start one today in management or otherwise, he said, “I’m going to give you the soundbite you’re looking for, because I just can’t help myself. The PR team is going to be like, ‘What?’ I think the artist that’s one that you should always bet on, and is already a huge star, and you can always bet on because they want it all the time, and they do what it takes to be, you know, present all the time. is Taylor Swift.”
