Scooter and Big Machine uploaded a live EP of Taylor songs (without her consent) and the live track from that EP is now the licensed song in the Love Story music video

Taylor sure has him by the balls, the desperation :billie:

I'm not sure this is his direct decision, because YouTube automatically detects the song, it's not like you can manually point it out to it. And, since the live version was the newest, YouTube's algorithm may have assumed it was the one in the video.

So from now on every view and stream of that song will benefit Scooter instead of Taylor? Pathetic human being.

It doesn't really change who gets the money since he also owns the studio version of the song, too.

So how is she not the owner of her songs anymore? Sounds super messy.

Scooter bought all of her Masters (the original recordings) from her old record label. So he controls all of the licensing (literally every aspect of how the songs can be used and promoted).

he still owns the masters of the original song, but this way he brings more promo and streams to the live version

Why do u say that Taylor has him by the balls? It looks the opposite

That's what I was going to say! Scooter basically owns like a decade of Taylor's art/life, and here again with Love Story, he's the one making profit off of her

so...  :confused:

I think she would have by now. My understanding is that she signed a bad contract
