Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun Feud: Stars Who Are Siding With Her

After news broke on Sunday, June 30, that music manager Scooter Braun had acquired Big Machine Label Group for a reported $300 million, giving him the rights to Taylor Swift‘s 2006-2017 masters, the singer shared her dismay over the situation on Tumblr. Swift called it her “worst case scenario” and talked of “the incessant, manipulative bullying” she’s allegedly dealt with at the hands of Braun.

Since then, a number of musicians and notable figures have come out in support of the artist, including Halsey, who tweeted, “She deserves to own the painstaking labor of her heart.”

Iggy Azalea added: “Telling someone about a deal days before it’s public means the deal was already done & she never had the opportunity to even make a bid to own her own work.”

UPDATE: More people have weighed in to support Swift, including Cher, Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco, Haim, and Mandy Teefey, the mother of Selena Gomez.

Telling someone about a deal days before it’s public means the deal was already done & she never had the opportunity to even make a bid to own her own work. These deals take months to negotiate in long form. https://t.co/Ra7NdxzcOM

I feel terrible for Taylor. This is the record business at it’s most ruthless and shady. She is genuinely one of the nicest people ever and does not deserve this. She should own her work. These people are soulless.https://t.co/RoHkFumLFA

For those asking, I left Scooter Braun a long time ago…I am saddened by this news, but not shocked. He is an evil person who’s only concern is his wealth and feeding his disgusting ego. I believe he is homophobic & I know from his own mouth that he is not a Swift fan.

I truly hope justice is served and that my friend’s music will fall into the hands of a better human.

@Taylorswift I wish I could give you a big hug right now! Thank you for speaking out about this and teaching future young artist about protecting themselves. I don’t understand the pleasure of power plays to simply hurt people! To deny you the option to own your blood, sweat and tears, especially as a young women who shared growing up in front of the world, is heartbreaking!! @yael I would love to have a mom to mom meeting in private, drink some tea and have some real talk!! XO
