Transcript

00:00I don't think it's an over-estimation to say that Taylor Swift is the most impactful

00:06songwriter of her generation.

00:08She is, in her own right, a kind of pop culture giant, the first musician to become a billionaire

00:14solely through music.

00:15Writing my own songs was a way to create what I wanted to create, a diary put to music every

00:20time I put out a new record.

00:21Scott Borchetta, who signed her to Big Machine, sold the label and were masters of her early

00:25work to Scooter Braun, a high-profile manager who Taylor had long viewed as a nemesis.

00:32He managed at various points Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, and of course, most importantly,

00:38Kanye West.

00:39Why they didn't just sell her the masters, period, that's a question for them.

00:43Legally, Scooter had the absolute right to buy this asset.

00:47Taylor versus Scooter set alight the whole industry.

00:51This was a betrayal of an artist and of a woman.

00:54In a male-dominated world, she will stand up for what's right.

00:58He called on her fans to apply pressure on Scooter.

01:02Her fans think she can do no wrong.

01:04She's in charge of an army, and she's the general.

01:07He makes no apologies for being a businessman.

01:09Scooter's side says, we gave her a chance to purchase her masters back, and she just said no.

01:13Being seen as the villain on the internet was pretty tough for him.

01:16When it gets to death threats, I just think it's got out of hand.

01:19Scooter was becoming very wealthy off her work, in an unfair way.

01:23It was a business deal, it wasn't some bullying attack against her.

01:26There's a lot behind the scenes you don't know about.

01:29The truth didn't matter.

01:31We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars.

01:33We're talking about the catalog of one of the most beloved artists in the world.

01:38There was a lot at stake.

01:40It's about a woman being controlled artistically by men in the music industry.

01:45He paid for his rights fair and square.

01:48She wanted to get her masters back, she wanted a fair deal.

01:51This was a battle of titans.

01:52Goliath versus Goliath.
