Scooter Braun "Encourages" Private Equity Firm That Owns Taylor Swift's Music To Sell It Back To Her Because He's Broke

  • Scooter Braun reportedly encourages Shamrock Capital to sell Taylor Swift the masters of her first six albums, originally acquired in 2019, according to Page Six reports on May 22, 2025.
  • This potential sale follows Braun's 2020 transfer of the masters to Shamrock Capital and Swift's ongoing efforts to regain control by rerecording her early albums since 2019.
  • Swift has re-released updated versions of four albums and stands to gain full ownership of both her original and rerecorded works by buying back the masters.
  • Experts estimate the cost to repurchase the masters ranges between $600 million and $1 billion, which could reach about half of Swift's net worth, while Braun helps facilitate the deal.
  • If successful, Swift would secure full control over her music rights, potentially ending a long public dispute and influencing artists' industry power regarding ownership rights.
