Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood
A documentary about the very well known feud between Taylor and her old record label, Bad Blood reminds us of what it's like to use social media to rewrite the narrative of what really happened.
The public got to see that Taylor claimed to have been bullied by Scooter's clients to the point where it appears that she wanted to exact revenge. After fulfilling her contract, she changed labels and wanted to purchase the rights to the masters to her first 6 albums, but was denied. Instead, Scooter bought her label, which included more than just her masters.
The documentary tried to remain objective with the facts given by both sides. The problem I had with these facts is that Taylor used her power through her enormous fan base to induce bullying and threats against Scooter and his family. This is not cool. I don't care what he or she did. This wasn't necessary.
The public will probably never know who is telling the full truth, but the bullying was enough for me. Taylor shouldn't have been bullied by the predominately male music industry, but Scooter shouldn't have his life and his family's life threatened.
Both of them are extremely wealthy people, and nothing will change that, but the world needs to learn that business is business and shouldn't be personal. I'm a Swiftie, but I'm wary of what I learned in this documentary. Be nice to one another, and tell the truth.
