Scooter Braun looked back on his feud with Taylor Swift and the recent docuseries that charted it all.
If you forgot, the famed manager publicly feuded with the pop star after he purchased her former record label and assumed ownership of her masters in 2019. This is what ultimately led to her decision to re-record her earliest albums.
The Discovery+ series Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun: Bad Blood, which premiered this summer, charted it all.
While attending recent event, Scooter revealed that he had watched the show after initially opting out. He also shared some insight into what went wrong with the pop titan and implied that the show got some things wrong.

“I wasn’t going to watch it because I just thought it was going to be, like, another hit piece,” Scooter admitted at the Bloomberg Screentime event, per The Hollywood Repoter. “And I pretty much stayed quiet about this kind of stuff. And my dad called me and my mom, and they were like, we just watched it. We think you should watch it. So I did.”
He added that “a lot of things” were “misrepresented,” but it sounds like Scooter is ready to let the past lie.
How does he feel about all of the drama now?
“Look, it’s five years later. I think, everyone, it’s time to move on,” he opined.
He added, “I think that it’s important in any kind of conflict that people actually communicate directly with each other. I think doing it out on social media and in front of the whole world is not the place. And I think when people actually take the time to stand in front of each other have a conversation, they usually find out the monster’s not real, and that hasn’t happened. And that has not happened.”
Scooter also paid Taylor the ultimate compliment.
When asked which artist he would choose to build a new company around, he named her, explaining, “I think the artist that’s one you should always bet on, and is already a huge star, and you can always bet on because they want it all the time, and they do whatever it takes to be present, is Taylor Swift.”
This isn’t the first time that Scooter has spoken about the documentary.
