Taylor Swift has put her long-standing feud with Scooter Braun behind her, according to her team’s statement in the new docuseries, Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun: Bad Blood.

The Discovery+ UK series delves into the 2019 conflict when Braun acquired Swift's former label, Big Machine, along with the masters of her first six albums.

In a statement featured in the docuseries, Swift’s team asserted that the 34-year-old artist “has completely moved on from this saga.”

They further elaborated that she has transformed a painful situation into one of the most rewarding projects of her career by re-recording her early albums. "None of these men will ever be able to take anything away from Taylor’s legacy as a songwriter, singer, director, philanthropist and advocate for artists’ rights," her team emphasized.

The two-part docuseries premiered on June 21, shortly after Braun, 42, revealed his retirement from music management on June 17.

Braun, known for managing high-profile artists like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Demi Lovato, announced he would continue as CEO of HYBE America.

In his Instagram post, Braun alluded to the public fallout with Swift, stating, "There has been a lot said about what is happening in our company... and in my career.

When we had success I smiled, and when we were attacked I always tried to take the high road. But for the last 3 years I have begun to feel that taking the high road has created confusion and ambiguity as to who we are.”

Swift first announced her decision to re-record her albums in late 2020, following Braun’s sale of her master rights for over $300 million. She revealed her attempts to negotiate for her work were met with a demand for an "ironclad NDA," which she refused.

"So, I would have had to sign a document that would silence me forever before I could even have a chance to bid on my own work," she said, accusing Braun of never providing a sale price to her team.

Since then, Swift has released re-recorded versions of Fearless, Red, Speak Now, and 1989, with fans eagerly anticipating the re-release of her 2006 debut album and Reputation.
