Scooter Braun -

Swift has been involved in a long and public feud with music producer Scooter Braun, who owned the masters of her first six albums. She wanted to regain ownership of her early music, but said she was unable to reach a deal with Braun. In November 2020, Braun announced that he was selling Big Machine Label Group, which includes the master rights, to the private equity company Shamrock Holdings for over US$300 million. Statements from Swift in the past suggested shady and unethical dealings on Braun's part which prevented her from regaining control of her masters.

Scooter Braun's attempt to silence her -

According to Swift, when she'd tried to make a deal with Braun to buy back her masters, he had insisted on her signing an NDA to ensure that she would never speak a negative word about him again. Obviously, the deal was never made. Swift also said Shamrock told her "Braun had required that they make no contact with me or my team, or the deal would be off."

Re-recording her old albums -

Before this, #TaylorIsFree started trending to celebrate the fact that as of November 1, 2020, Swift was reportedly legally allowed to re-record new versions of her first six albums, meaning she will fully own them. In a letter to fans she said she had already started, making for a historic move for the music industry.

Big Machine Group -

As a refresher, Big Machine Label Group was sold to Swift's known enemy, Scooter Braun, and with that deal her first six albums came under his control. Since then Swift came up with an ingenious way to use her music without letting Braun pocket any profit—through a band called Jack Leopards and The Dolphin Club, which doesn't exist...

Big Machine Label -

Sharp-eyed Swifties have discovered that the band whose cover of 'Look What You Made Me Do' appeared on an episode of 'Killing Eve' doesn't actually exist.  Moreover, the cover is produced by Nils Sjöberg—Swift's pseudonym. Fans also believe the singer on the cover is Swift's brother, Austin. This would all mean Swift made a fake band, who owns their masters, to sing her song to ensure that Scooter Braun receives no profit!

Big Machine Label -

Adding more fuel to the fire, a "new" Taylor Swift live album was released in April 2020, and the singer wrote on Instagram that she did not approve the release, and that the recording is from a 2008 radio show performance. Then she added, "It looks to me like 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 that paying $330 MILLION for my music wasn't exactly a wise choice and they need money."

Kanye West -

Following rumors that her feud with Kanye West was back on—as Swift released her latest album, 'Folklore,' on the day West planned to release his, 'Donda'—things have taken a surprising turn for the better. West has been vocal lately about rights issues in the music industry, and regarding Swift's public denouncement of Big Machine Label, West tweeted, "I’M GOING TO PERSONALLY SEE TO IT THAT TAYLOR SWIFT GETS HER MASTERS BACK.” He added that Scooter Braun, the infamous new owner of the label and Swift's first six album masters, is a close family friend. Does this make West and Swift frenemies now?

Kim then posted several Snapchat stories, which confirmed that West called Swift for approval, which she gave. Swift tried to distance herself from the incident on Twitter, which started the #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty.

But recently, footage of that entire 2016 phone call has been leaked, and it reveals that West only told Swift that the line would say, "I feel like Taylor might still have sex."
