Up until now, the bulk of support for Braun has come from his wife and clients, most notably Demi Lovato and Justin Bieber, with seemingly everyone else, including music fans — not just Swifties — and artists firmly in Swift’s corner. It will be fascinating to hear his side of the tale.
Swift's decision to re-record all of the albums (four of which have now been completed) was revolutionary, though whether the painstaking stratagem would have been feasible for a lower-profile musician is highly debatable. Kelly Clarkson has been credited with the idea, which has the potential to tip the balance of power back towards artists.
Legal experts, journalists and people close to Swift and Braun speak their piece in the docuseries, which claims to shine a light on gender dynamics and fandom culture, but also the methods by which execs and private equity firms routinely grow so wealthy at the expense of artists. Read on for where to watch “Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood" online from anywhere.
