Taylor Swift is not happy that manager Scooter Braun bought the rights to her old music, and she took to social media to accuse Braun of being a bully. Ironically, some of Braun's big-name clients are suggesting that Taylor is the one being a bully here. Read on for details.

Demi Lovato is defending her manager Scooter Braun as a “good man” after he was accused of bullying by Taylor Swift, shortly after she learned he’d purchased her musical catalog from her former record label.
On Sunday, Swift wrote a scathing note on Tumblr claiming Braun had used Justin Bieber and Kanye West to team up against her on social media in light of her feud with West and Kim Kardashian regarding the lyrics of West’s song “Famous.”
“All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years,” Swift wrote of the moment she’d learned Braun bought her masters from Big Machine Label Group founder, Scott Borchetta. “Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it.”
As evidence, she included a screenshot of a 2016 Instagram post by Bieber that featured him on a Facetime call with West and Braun with the since-deleted caption, “Taylor swift what up.”
Atop the photo, she circled Braun in red and wrote, “This is Scooter Braun, bullying me on social media when I was at my lowest point. He’s about to own all the music I’ve ever made.”
Lovato, who signed with Braun in May, offered her support for the manager on her Instagram Story, declaring her loyalty to “the ones on my team.”
“I have dealt with bad people in the industry and Scooter is not one of them. He’s a good man. Personally, I’m grateful he came into my life when he did. Please stop ‘dragging’ people or bullying them. There’s enough hate in this world as it is,” she wrote.
