Why did Scooter Braun face backlash from Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift's fans?

Scooter Braun, a former manager of Justin Bieber, remains a target of the singer's fans due to accusations of financial misconduct, his controversial handling of the Peaches singer's career, and his association with other high-profile celebrity feuds. Scooter's tenure as Justin's manager officially ended in 2023 after nearly 15 years of collaboration. Scooter was accused of being overpaid in commissions by USD 26 million and yet demanded an additional USD 31 million from Justin, which he had to pay.

Fans of Taylor Swift remain hostile toward Scooter Braun primarily because of his 2019 purchase of her former record label, Big Machine Records, for USD 300 million. It gave Scooter ownership of the master recordings of Taylor Swift's first six albums. She publicly accused Scooter of 'incessant, manipulative bullying' and characterised the sale as her 'worst case scenario', leading her dedicated fanbase to target Scooter Braun.
