War begins again between Taylor Swift and his old label, Big Machine Records. Acquired by Scooter Braun last year, the label decided to release a live album of the star this Thursday, without obviously consulting it. Enough to anger the interpreter of Delicate , who wanted to establish the truth on Instagram.

- Pitchfork (@pitchfork) April 24, 2020“I would like to thank fans for letting me know that my old label was releasing a live performance album. This recording dates from 2008, I did it when I was 18 years old. Big Machine lists it as a 2017 album and they're actually releasing it at midnight tonight. I'm always being honest with you about these things and I wanted to tell you that I didn't approve of this release, ”she posted in her Story.
The album in question, Live From Clear Channel Stripped 2008 , is listed as released in 2017, but the singer believes that is a shameless lie.
Greed
When Scooter Braun bought Big Machine Records in July 2019, Taylor Swift described the maneuver as "the worst possible scenario," accusing the celebrity agent of having harassed it for years. Today, she is ironic about the hundreds of millions of dollars spent.

"I have the impression that Scooter Braun, the new boss of Big Machine, and his financial supporters, 23 Capital, Alex Soros and the Soros family as well as the Carlyle Group, saw the cash inflows and outflows and says that paying $ 330 million for my music was not a very good idea and that they need money. In my opinion, it's just a question of greed in the middle of a coronavirus crisis, ”adds the popstar.
Scooter Braun has not yet commented.
