The whole 'pandemic' thing may be causing some old enemies to down weapons and shake hands for the greater good, but it seems Taylor Swift is not one of them.
As you may recall, Swift and music manager Braun have been at war over the ownership of part of Swift's back catalogue.
Essentially, Braun snapped up the rights to Swift's early albums before she had the opportunity to, and she's not one bit happy about it.
Her latest venomous attack was launched on Instagram yesterday in response to Big Machine reportedly releasing a compilation album of her old live recordings.
‘Hey guys – I want to thank my fans for making me aware that my former record label is putting out an “album” of live performances of mine tonight," she wrote in a message shared on her Instagram Story. "This recording is from a 2008 radio show performance I did when I was 18. Big Machine has listed the date as a 2017 release but they’re actually releasing it tonight at midnight.
"I’m always honest with you guys about this stuff so I just wanted to tell you that this release is not approved by me."
She continued: "It looks to me that Scooter Braun and his financial backers, 23 Capital, Alex Soros and the Soros Family, and the Carlyle Group have seen the latest balance sheets and realized paying $330 MILLION for my music wasn’t exactly a wise choice and they need money.
"In my opinion…Just another case of shameless greed in the time of Coronavirus. So tasteless but very transparent."
So far, Braun has not commented.
