Taylor Swift devastated after selling her music catalog to Scooter Braun
The singer Taylor Swift has made a public statement on her Tumblr network after learning that Scooter Braun would acquire the company Big Machine Records along with the musical catalog of the artist. In his statements, he points out that Braun had publicly tried to ruin his career.
The artist lashed out at Braun, known for managing artists like Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, saying he had "stolen his life's work" by recently acquiring most of his music.
In addition, Swift pointed out that Braun was "one of the people who publicly bullied her when she was at the worst stage of her life".
Swift's statements refer to the negative comments the artist received after the leaks of the audios, by Kim Kardashian, of the conversation she had with the singer Kanye West.
Taylor Swift accompanied her statements with an image where Scooter Braun is seen with West making fun of the artist for the scandals over the leaking of her audios, which reflects the little respect that Braun has for the singer.
The artist stressed that her entire musical legacy was going to end up in the hands of someone who tried to destroy it and who is not looking for anything good for her:
Now Scooter has cut me off from my life's work, I didn't even have a chance to buy it. Basically, my musical legacy is going to fall into the hands of someone who tried to destroy it.
Finally, Swift left a message of reflection towards all the people who wish to venture into the world of music:
Fortunately, I have now signed with a company that believes that I should own everything I create. I left my past in Scott's hands, but not my future. I hope that young artists or children with dreams in music read this and learn how to better protect themselves in the business world. You deserve to own the art you make
Users of social networks have spoken about it, showing their support for the singer. In this way, immediately after the artist's statements, on Twitter , the hashtag #WeStandWithTaylor became a trend.
The purchase of Big Machine Records supposes the acquisition of Swift's first 6 albums together with all their copyrights, for which Braun would have total control of the artist's musical catalog.
Taylor Swift recently signed with Universal Music Group. In this way, the artist plans to release her first album with said record label in August, which would mark a new story for the artist.
