Taylor Swift recently opened up about how her close friend Selena Gomez provided support during her public feud with music manager Scooter Braun. In an interview, Swift discussed the challenges she faced when Braun acquired the rights to her master recordings, sharing how Gomez stood by her side throughout the ordeal.
Swift's battle with Braun began in June 2019 when he purchased her former record label, Big Machine Label Group, along with the rights to her first six albums. This acquisition deeply upset Swift as she had expressed a strong desire to own her own music. She accused Braun of years of bullying and manipulative behavior, creating an intense rift between the two.
During this time, Swift reflected on the significance of her friendship with Gomez and how she provided much-needed emotional support. Swift revealed that Gomez instantly understood her frustration and the resulting pain. Gomez herself had faced her fair share of challenges in the music industry and therefore empathized with Swift's predicament.
According to Swift, Gomez was the first person she called after discovering the sale of her master recordings. Swift shared that Gomez truly understood how important owning her music was to her, and the two immediately bonded over their shared experiences.
Swift also expressed her gratitude for Gomez's unwavering support throughout the public dispute. Knowing that Gomez genuinely had her back allowed Swift to feel less alone in her fight against Braun. Swift emphasized that her friendship with Gomez has always been genuine and filled with love, making her support all the more meaningful.
