The final chord: new documentary explores the sour conclusion of Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun’s feud

The much-anticipated “Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood” documentary will be on premièring on TLC on Sunday. This latest addition to the channel’s popular ‘vs’ format follows in the footsteps of “Johnny vs Amber,” “Kim vs Kanye: The Divorce,” and “Vardy vs Rooney: The Wagatha Trial.” The two-part documentary, produced by Optomen, takes an in-depth look at the headline-grabbing dispute between global pop icon Taylor Swift and music mogul Scooter Braun over the rights to Swift’s first six albums. In June 2019, Braun’s company acquired Big Machine Label Group for millions of rands, securing ownership of Swift’s masters. The singer, who had been vocal about her desire to own her music, claimed she was not given the opportunity to purchase the rights herself.
