Music mogul Scooter Braun has said he was "shocked" by Taylor Swift's "deeply unfair" reaction when he acquired the rights to her first six studio albums. Braun said he thought buying Swift's former label Big Machine in 2019 would be an "exciting thing".

On the podcast, Braun reiterated that he only hopes for the best for Swift. “I can’t worry about everyone’s niece being mad at me,” he quipped. “What I gotta do is show up for my niece, and I gotta show up for my friends and my family. I wish everyone involved, across the board, whether I know them or not, good wishes.”
