Taylor Swift foe Scooter Braun reacts to megastar finally buying back her masters 

Play all audios:


Taylor Swift’s nemesis Scooter Braun showed his support after the pop star announced that she finally bought back her masters.


“I am happy for her,” Braun, 43, told Page Six in a statement Friday.


Swift, 35, announced that she bought back her life’s work in a heartfelt letter to fans on her website Friday — a week after Page Six exclusively revealed that buying back her masters was a


possibility for the singer.


“I’m trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow,” she said in the letter shared on her official website.


“A flashback sequence of all the time I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it,


only for it to fall through.


Braun’s feud with Swift dates back to 2019 when he notoriously bought the rights to her first six albums from — “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989” and “Reputation” — from


her former record label, Big Machine Records, without her approval.


Swift accused Braun of being a “bully” and “the definition of toxic male privilege in our industry.”


A year later, investment firm Shamrock Capital purchased Swift’s music from the manager.


Swift began re-recording and re-releasing her music in 2021 as a way of reclaiming ownership over her songs.

She has already released “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” “Red (Taylor’s Version),” “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”


While Swifties had been expecting her to release “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” for months, the “Blank Space” artist announced Friday that she “[hasn’t] even re-recorded a quarter” of the


2017 album.


She did, however, surprise fans by announcing that she has completely re-recorded her eponymous debut studio album.


“I’ve already re-recorded my entire debut alum. And I really love how it sounds now,” she said.


Last week, a source told Page Six that it was Braun who was strongly encouraging Shamrock Capital to sell the music back to Swift.


“Interestingly enough, one of the individuals who is encouraging this deal to take place is Scooter, who was at the center of the deal the first time around alongside Big Machine,” the


source said.


We also learned that the price tag of her masters would be in the ballpark of $600 million to $1 billion.


“The team at Shamrock want to make sure that Taylor has knowledge that they are trying to put this deal to her, as they are not sure that she was ever offered them the first time around,”


our source said at the time.


Clearly, Swift was well aware of the opportunity and acted on it — with the blessing of her rival music mogul.
