JAKARTA - Months of debate between singer Taylor Swift and producer and owner of Big Machine Records, Scooter Braun, regarding the rights to Taylor Swift's album master, has not ended. After Big Machine Records' statement about Swift being allowed to sing her old song, this time Scooter Braun has an opinion about the incident.

Although he did not mention it directly, Braun's opinion led to the feud between himself, Scott Borchetta and Taylor Swift. So far, Braun has never issued a statement regarding the dispute. Through the 2019 Entertainment Industry Conference and sponsored by Variety, the speaker Braun started a conversation with “I haven't talked about this in six months. Not at all. I've never made a statement about this. "

According to Braun, discussing this issue with the public will not solve the problem. Braun, who is known to be Justin Bieber's producer, explained that they live in a toxic world.

"People think social media is a decent place to talk about other people and not have a conversation. And I don't like politicians doing that. I don't like anyone doing that."

"If that makes me the bad guy for longer, I'll be the bad guy for longer, but I don't want to participate."

This statement explains that Swift said that Braun and Borchetta had nothing to do with the songs.

"This is wrong. These men did not intervene when writing the songs. They have done nothing to build the relationship I have with the fans. So this is where I ask your help. "

Scooter Braun also said he wanted to sit down for a moment and have a closed discussion with Taylor to clear things up. Braun believes this is part of a miscommunication which he does not want to add because Braun does not want to extend the issue.

"It's difficult, because I can handle this easily, but when it becomes something where death threats and offices are being contacted and people are being threatened ... this is out of line," Braun admitted that his office had received quite a massive verbal threat. "We just need to go behind closed doors and see if we can have a conversation. And if we don't discuss, then I don't think we find a solution. "

On November 15, Taylor Swift posted a lengthy post on her Twitter account about Swift's prohibition of singing songs for the American Music Awards and using a video of her old performance for a Netflix documentary. His statement reads "Now Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun say I am not allowed to sing old songs on television because they claim it will re-record my music before it is allowed from next year."
