The feud between the superstar and Justin Bieber’s ex-manager started in 2019. Scooter Braun then bought the rights to Swift’s first six albums, without the pop star’s knowledge. That led to a dispute worth as much as $300 million. But although the pop star was hurt by the incident, she did not sit back. Since then, Swift has re-recorded every album and released four as “Taylor’s Version,” making her more successful than ever before.
In the series, which lasts two hours per episode, you get to see both sides of the story. Fans get a comprehensive look at the conflict, focusing on the complexities of music ownership, gender dynamics in the industry and fan influence. With input from legal experts, journalists and people close to Swift and Braun, the full picture is painted.
“The conflict between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun over the rights to her music blew up in the media. It all started with some contract fights behind closed doors, but soon it went viral on social media and became a hot topic in the public debate. It’s a high-quality, interesting story that opened up the debate about fandom and dominated headlines, a story that will resonate with our viewers who are deeply engaged with accessible documentaries like “vs.” says Charlotte Reid, VP at Warner Bros UK & Ireland.
‘Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood’ will premiere on Discovery+ in June 2024. Whether the docuseries will also be shown here remains unclear for the time being.
