Taylor Swift Reportedly Owes Scooter & Borchetta $7 million

[Rainbow1 10,142]

Sources close to Big Machine Records tell Page Six that Braun wasn’t part of AMA negotiations and rather Borchetta had been dealing with them with Swift’s attorneys.

Our sources also tell us Swift owes Braun and Borchetta $7 million and agreed to sort out the finances after AMA negotiations settled, but when negotiations fell flat, she threatened to publicly blast them — hence the statement Thursday. Big Machine didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Swift has been embroiled in a public feud with Borchetta and Braun since the latter acquired her masters. She has maintained that she discovered the deal “as it was announced to the world.” Borchetta denied the allegedly false claims, posting screenshots of messages that show she was well aware of the deal and stated her father, Scott Swift, was on investor calls. In September, Page Six exclusively learned that Swift’s mother, Andrea Swift, also texted Borchetta prior to the deal’s closing asking to discuss it.

so what is the truth?

[Queen of Pop 74]

Not surprised at all

[ReginaGeorge 24,137]

As if she couldn’t pay them those 7 millions rn. This is clearly all lies and just a try hard attempts of making Taylor a bad guy (AGAIN). Is anyone actually falling for this attempt?

This all feels calculated PR moves from all sides. If this is indeed true, that is. 

[Talenti 10,868]

Probably fake, but Music Labels are literally so trash the business that goes down I wouldn’t be surprised. Good luck Taylor!

[weed 31,177]

this article is trash lmfao "owes them $7M" for what? your source sucks if that's all they know

[Gam 16,167]

Lies.

7 million is pocket change to her

[Kimmo 17,883]

[LGs LM 1,178]

$7m is too little for Taylor to not be able to pay. This is definitely just fake news.

[FlopSlurper 26,338]

The devil works hard but scooter's minions work harder

[mauvais 3,196]

I assumed she owed them performance royalties but surely PROs are in charge of all of that. Nevertheless, they're never getting paid kfjsdfh congratulations!

Why would she own them money if she hasn’t even performed yet? Wtf

She's performed her old songs numerous times after signing with Republic/UMG. For instance, she's already performed old songs on ABC's Good Morning America, the same channel that broadcasts the AMAs. Scott and Scooter are moving the goalposts.

Now, I am not defending either side because I don't actually know what goes on behind closed doors, but hasn't Taylor lies and had it proven multiple times about things?

(If this whole Scooter thing is true though, that is grody af.)
