Scott Borchetta, the founder of Big Machine Label Group, which this morning announced a deal to be acquired by Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings, has fired back at Taylor Swift for insinuating …
for insinuating that she was not able to purchase back rights to her master recordings. A key point in the documents that he posted may refuteA rep for Swift did not immediately respond to“So, it’s time for some truth…,” wrote Borchetta in a lengthy blog post published via the BMLG website which included screen shots of deal memos allegedly sent between November 2018 and June 2019.
“I guess it might somehow be possible that her dad Scott, 13 Management lawyer Jay Schaudies or 13 Management executive and Big Machine LLC shareholder Frank Bell didn’t say anything to Taylor over the prior 5 days. I guess it’s possible that she might not have seen my text [as a rep claimed]. But, I truly doubt that she ‘woke up to the news when everyone else did.’to remain at Big Machine Records.
“Taylor and I remained on very good terms when she told me she wanted to speak with other record companies and see what was out there for her. I never got in her way and wished her well. “As to her comments about ‘being in tears or close to it’ anytime my new partner Scooter Braun’s name was brought up, I certainly never experienced that. Was I aware of some prior issues between Taylor and Justin Bieber? Yes. But there were also times where Taylor knew that I was close to Scooter and that Scooter was a very good source of information for upcoming album releases, tours, etc, and I’d reach out to him for information on our behalf.
