Scooter Braun opens up about Taylor Swift controversy on Bloomberg’s ‘Idea Generation’

Braun’s purchase of Big Machine Records

During the interview with host Noah Callahan-Bever, Braun spoke about his purchase of Big Machine Records, the label that Taylor Swift was signed to at the beginning of her career. The acquisition was a controversial move, as it gave Braun ownership of Swift’s master recordings, something that she had publicly spoken out against.

Braun’s take on the feud with Taylor Swift

When asked about his back-and-forth with Swift, Braun did not mention her by name but said, “I choose to look at it as like, these moments that you think someone is attacking you or these moments you think are unfair, one you play a role in every one of these moments because you are part of the story. And two, you can choose to be angry, resentful, bitter, and actually become the story in your anger, or you can choose to say thank you for playing a role in my growth and move on.”

Braun’s advice on work/life balance and relationships

Aside from the Taylor Swift controversy, Braun also shared his thoughts on managers’ responsibilities and work/life balance. He emphasized the importance of taking care of oneself and one’s relationships while still being able to give 100% to one’s work.
