Taylor Swift is distraught after learning her masters are now owned by Scooter Braun

Specialized intelligence is a muthafukka. You could have an IQ of 160, and still get duped just because you don't know the inner workings of an industry.

Has she sent Kanye an Edible Arrangement for turning her into the innocent white girl that got bullied by the crazy black man yet?

 

[DaPresident]

And THIS was the way she thought she'd get them back?


Scooter Braun with the slick move and he bout to be a promo ANIMAL when her ish drop...Cac IG and social medias gon have nothing but her album plastered all over it...
Clean move there I can't lie...


But I know to mind the business that pays me...no black folk were harmed in this.

Just wanna know how Scooter Braun made $300 million

Braun’s SB Projects has also invested in tech companies like Uber, Spotify and Waze. In addition to his music and tech holdings, Braun also has investments in movie, TV and other brands.

Don't understand she couldn't of partnered with someone to buy her own catalog back.

white on white drama.
not interested!!
out!!

I'm just the opposite. When I see white privilege vs white privilege I been in the bullshyt. I love it. fukk email.

Now when I see black problems vs black problems I don't entertain it bc a CAC will find a way to profit off of it and keep the drama going.

Not caping for Taylor swift. fukk her. Just thinking generally it is kind of messed up that artists have to buy back their own creations but I guess it's not any different from any other corporation where if you create or invent something while employed by them it belongs to them.

For folks up on all the music business shyt how did someone like Prince manage to control his content so well while Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney got their shyt whored out to the highest bidder? What did prince do right ?

He watered down his content made it not worth buying in the first place, then warner brothers at the time and to a certain extent still is, backwards in their forward thinking

It's weird because her family comes from money. The problem is that now her music isn't selling like that any more and she can't leverage the past decade of hits she has has. She should have taken less money in exchange for ownership of the catalog, but such is life.

She didn't have that option. The only option they have her is the one she named. Earning an album back with each new release. They didn't even let her in on the sale process.

Seems like they didn't like her at the label. But even Taylor would have needed help to get 300 M's for this purchase

Y'all don't read.

They sold without telling her there was a sale.

He doesn't have 300m's.


This is an investment and he has credit and backing

 

[Street Knowledge]

Her and her stans are trying to imply this is a sexism thing when the vast majority of male artists past or present do not own their masters

I wonder if she should've done that

She been going downhil since 1989 dropped.

That was a trap and she ducked it.

The deal gave her no guarantees just a way for them to keep her on her old label indefinitely
