Taylor Swift calling out Scooter Braun:
Taylor Swift was the biggest newsmaker of the week. The singer, who celebrated her 30th birthday this week like it was a holiday of its own, called out Scooter Braun during her Woman of the Decade award acceptance speech at Billboard’s Women in Music 2019 event. The singer called out the “unregulated world of private equity coming in and buying our music as if it’s real estate—as if it’s an app or a shoe line" before she took names. "This just happened to me without my approval, consultation or consent. After I was denied the chance to purchase my music outright, my entire catalog was sold to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings. To this day, none of these investors have ever [contacted me] or my team directly to perform their due diligence on their investment in me to ask how I might feel about the new owner of my art, my music… my handwriting," she said. She went on to call out his supporters and defined "toxic male privilege."
