Three years after he purchased the master rights to Taylor Swift’s early music, Scooter Braun said he wishes that transaction could have gone down differently.
The music mogul chatted last week with Jay Williams for NPR’s “The Limits With Jay Williams.” During the near-40-minute conversation, Braun recalled acquiring Big Machine, Swift’s former label, and her master recordings by way of that purchase. The 2019 acquisition then evolved into a larger, public conflict that prompted conversation about ownership and rights within the music industry.
When Williams asked Braun if he would go back in time for a do-over of that acquisition, Braun said, “Yes.”
