Scooter Braun is opening up about his contentious history with Taylor Swift and the recent documentary about their “Bad Blood.”
The record executive and CEO of HYBE America attended the Bloomberg Screentime event in Los Angeles this week, where he was asked about the Max documentary that dropped over the summer, which chronicles the drama between him and the “Anti-Hero” songstress.

Admitting that he recently watched the documentary Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood, Braun insisted that he’s essentially over all the drama.
“It’s five years later,” the 43-year-old said, according to Deadline. “I think, everyone, it’s time to move on.”
He also claimed that there were “a lot of things that were misrepresented” in the documentary.
The situation started back in 2019 when Braun’s Ithaca Holdings acquired Swift’s former label, Big Machine Records. The $300 million deal included Swift’s catalog, making Braun the owner of the master rights to her first six albums.
Not only did Swift, 34, call out Braun as a “bully” in a Tumblr post at the time, but she would later reveal that the business mogul only offered her the opportunity to buy back her masters if she signed an “ironclad” NDA before even getting the chance to bid on her own work, which she ultimately refused.
Swift, now signed with Universal Music Group, has since re-recorded four of her first six albums, re-releasing them as “Taylor’s Version,” with even more tracks, dubbed as being “From the Vault,” that never made it onto the original albums.
During Braun’s recent public appearance, he talked about the situation, stating, “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,” he added.
