the darkest periods in her life’, in a new documentary about her battle with Scooter Braun

Taylor Swift was left in tears as she looked back on the intense feud with Kanye West that marked

“one of her darkest periods”.

The Grammy-winning singer’s explosive fallout with Justin Bieber’s ex-manager Scooter Braun is

now under scrutiny in the two-part docu-series, Taylor Swift Vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood on Max.

The sudden rivalry erupted when in 2019, the music industry executive, who has also managed

artists like Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, bought Taylor’s master tapes from her previous record

label, Big Machine Records.

Before Scooter took ownership of her masters, prompting Taylor to re-record her albums in a bid to retake charge of her music, the two were embroiled in a controversy involving Kanye West. This goes back to 2016 when Scooter was managing the rapper, and Kanye released his song Famous, boasting verses explicit about the Shake It Off songstress.

Brittany Spanos, a journalist featured in the docuseries, shared that Taylor’s own documentary, Miss Americana, highlights the moment she realized the impact of her feud with Kanye on her reputation. “I’m just tired of the… just… just feels like it’s more than music now at this point. And just, most days I’m like, okay, but then sometimes I’m just like… it just gets loud sometimes,” Taylor is heard saying in an emotional clip.

In the docuseries Taylor Swift Vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood, Brittany elaborates on Taylor’s feelings, stating, “This very vivid way that she describes her own emotions allowing herself to give an intimate experience of her life to her fans, to people who follow her, she’s very upset about the public hating her and really not being on her side. This was a period that she had found to be one of the darkest in her life. Her entire career was at stake where she felt like she might lose everything,”.

In response to the release of the docuseries, Taylor’s team issued a strong statement, defending her legacy against those attempting to tarnish it. They stated, “Taylor has completely moved on from this saga and has turned what started out as an extreme situation into one of the most fulfilling creative endeavors of her life. None of these men will ever be able to take away from Taylor’s legacy as a songwriter, singer, director, philanthropist, and advocate for artists’ rights.”
