Scooter Braun has officially looked back on the infamous Taylor Swift saga, and let me tell you, it’s like a reality show plot twist we didn’t see coming. If you somehow missed this juicy drama (were you living under a rock?!), Scooter waltzed into the music scene in 2019 like a guy who “accidentally” buys a whole record label—Taylor Swift’s old label, to be exact—and snatched up her masters like he was shopping for groceries. Naturally, Taylor was like, “Nope,” and decided to re-record her albums in the ultimate revenge tour.
Fast forward to the summer of 2024, and Discovery+ dropped Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun: Bad Blood. Yes, the title sounds like the name of a boxing match or a superhero showdown, but this is the real-life drama we’ve been eating popcorn to for five years.
Now, here’s where things get spicy. Scooter—who’s been the king of “I’m just gonna stay quiet about this”—decides, “Eh, maybe I’ll watch it after all.” But not because he was super curious or anything. No, no, his parents called him up like, “Hey, Scooter, honey, we just watched this documentary about you and that nice Taylor Swift girl. You should probably check it out.” Classic mom move.
So Scooter gives in, plops down with a bowl of ice cream (I’m guessing), and hits play. After watching his feud unfold in high-definition, he claims shock that “a lot of things” were misrepresented. But don’t worry, everyone, he’s super chill about it now. Really, he is. He’s all zen-like, probably meditating and burning sage. “Look, it’s been five years. Let’s all move on,” Scooter says, exuding the energy of a guy who just wants to leave that whole embarrassing karaoke incident behind.
But wait—there’s more! He adds a bit of wisdom: “Hey, maybe instead of dragging this out on social media for the whole world to see, we should’ve just, like, talked about it face to face?” Bold take, right? Apparently, in the land of celebrity feuds, common sense is a rare gem.
And just when you thought Scooter might throw shade, he does a total 180 and showers Taylor with compliments. When asked which artist he’d want to build a new empire around, he straight-up says, “Taylor Swift.” That’s right. The same Taylor who’s been writing songs about him, re-recording her entire catalog, and probably dedicating a room in her house to her “Get Even with Scooter” project. But hey, credit where credit’s due: Taylor works hard. Scooter knows it, you know it, and I bet even your grandma knows it at this point.
The Scooter-Taylor saga continues, but now with fewer flames and more respect. Will they ever bury the hatchet? Who knows. But until then, we’ll keep the popcorn ready.
