The war of words between Taylor Swift and her former label Big Machine escalated with a note from label CEO Scott Borchetta denying the singer's accusations and defending his new partner Scooter Braun
Sunday night, with the exec stating that the deal was settled upon earlier that week during a shareholders’ call; Swift’s father Scott is a Big Machine shareholder and, according to Borchetta, was represented on the call by a 13 Management lawyer. Borchetta added that he texted Swift at 9 p.m. Saturday night about the impending deal. “I truly doubt that she ‘woke up to the news when everyone else did,'” Borchetta said of Swift’s claim.
Borchetta added, “Taylor had every chance in the world to own not just her master recordings, but every video, photograph, everything associated to her career. She chose to leave.” In his post, Borchetta defended the sale to Braun and the music manager himself while simultaneously throwing Swift under the bus, saying the singer declined Braun’s invitations to perform at a pair of high-profile appearances.
