Oooookkkkkk

Ohhhhhhhhkkkkkkkaaaaayyyyy SCOOTER. GOODNIGHT.

Q: Clearly you’re referencing the Big Machine acquisition and Taylor Swift’s reaction to it. How do you view what went down in retrospect?

A: I regret and it makes me sad that Taylor had that reaction to the deal. … All of what happened has been very confusing and not based on anything factual. I don’t know what story she was told. I asked for her to sit down with me several times, but she refused. I offered to sell her the catalog back and went under NDA, but her team refused. It all seems very unfortunate. Open communication is important and can lead to understanding. She and I only met briefly three or four times in the past, and all our interactions were really friendly and kind. I find her to be an incredibly talented artist and wish her nothing but the best.

“Open communication is important” ….which is why you wanted it all under an NDA, got it. (I know what NDAs are for, spare me the legal lecture.)
Props to Taylor’s seriously Zeus level pettiness of re-recording her whole catalog to render the original recordings that Scooter bought but no longer owns less valuable.
