After Scooter Braun's controversial decision to purchase Taylor Swift's recording rights and former record label in 2019, he finally addressed accusations against him.

In a fresh interview with Variety, the 40-year-old record executive admits he regrets how the purchase went down. This also included him acquiring the master rights to Swift's first six studio albums.

At the time of acquisition, Braun automatically received backlash from Taylor Swift's fans, Swifties, who labeled him as a "bully" for buying her hard-earned work.

Braun said, "I regret and it makes me sad that Taylor had that reaction to the deal."

He explained, "All of what happened has been very confusing and not based on anything factual. I don't know what story she was told. I asked for her to sit down with me several times, but she refused."

"I offered to sell her the catalog back and went under NDA, but her team refused. It all seems very unfortunate," Braun also added.

However, fans called out Braun as the Grammy Award-Winning singer claimed in 2020 that she was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement where she would never say another word about him.
