Show transcript
00:00
Is this the downfall of Taylor Swift?
00:02
So there's a new documentary on Max,
00:03
right? Two parts with her side of the story and Scooter
00:06
Brown's side of the story regarding her masters and it's it's
00:10
messy, right? So,
00:12
to break this down for us,
00:14
we're gonna have our in house Swifty,
00:16
Camilla de Jesus join us and just lay out all the
00:20
cards on the table.
00:21
Camila, explain this to me what's going on Camila.
00:24
How are you, what's up?
00:27
I am, I'm good,
00:29
but I feel like this documentary was not,
00:32
but I'm excited to talk about it.
00:34
Can you just tell us like the gist of the documentary?
00:37
So the documentary takes you through the not legal but I
00:43
guess scandalous nature of Scooter Braun coming into Taylor Swift's masters.
00:49
And before owning the recordings for her six albums,
00:52
it's about that and about Taylor,
00:54
not necessarily having wanted him to have that and also having tried
00:59
to purchase those songs.
01:02
Yeah, so it follows that her side and his side
01:05
So who was in the wrong?
01:06
Who do you think was in the wrong Scooter Ron?
01:08
In my Humble Swifty?
01:10
Opinion and I wouldn't even say it's in the wrong.
01:13
It's more just like it feels icky to have someone own music
01:17
that the artist doesn't like Taylor's whole point is I don't want
01:21
this man that has disrespected me for years to own my music
01:25
and make money off of me.
01:27
I think that's a fair point.
01:29
The second part is like,
01:31
well, it's not illegal and that's the whole argument and it's
01:34
like no one said it was illegal.
01:36
That's fine. You can make your dirty deal.
01:39
That's, but, yeah.
01:41
Yeah, exactly. It was an ethical issue.
01:44
But is it morally?
01:45
Ok. And would fans want to support you?
01:48
No, probably not.
01:49
I think there's some validity to some things he said or not
01:53
him, but his people said,
01:54
I think it's fair to say that the swifty fandom or any
01:58
fandom you come with responsibility and you should probably tell them,
02:02
you know, let's not send death threats.
02:04
I think that's a fair argument.
02:06
But then when it's combined with,
02:08
like, and she's such a victim and she wrote this and
02:13
I think it was to manipulate it just then it's,
02:15
then it just becomes something.
02:17
I just don't think they really had a leg to stand on
02:20
and I don't think anyone's rooting for a random manager.
02:23
They don't know. So it's like no one really cares enough
02:26
to be like, yeah,
02:27
get her, get her to what?
02:29
To make more money.
02:31
People have been canceling them off,
02:33
like cutting them loose.
02:35
So this guy's just freaking unhinged,
02:37
just throwing. I don't know.
02:40
I mean, that's what it seems like.
02:42
Right. They call him a family man.
02:44
They fully don't acknowledge some scandals that have happened with him and
02:49
his family. But they also don't acknowledge that all those people
02:54
Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande Demi Lovato all recently left him
02:57
and he went into retirement for an alleged illegal activity that has
03:04
not come into the light,
03:06
but it seems like something illegal has happened.
03:09
Wow, so get ready for that scooter documentary.
03:13
Well, see, I mean,
03:15
it seems like based on like what's going on like this Taylor
03:18
Swift documentary is kind of like ammo for the Taylor haters and
03:23
people just looking for a reason to hate her and her fan
03:25
base. She has such a big fan base that I feel
03:28
like people just like to kind of like attack her because at
03:30
the end of the day,
03:31
it gets some clout.
03:32
Maybe this documentary came with receipts but it all,
03:35
they kind of fell short.
03:36
They weren't really valid.
03:37
It sounds like that's true.
03:39
Camila remind us. Where can people follow you?
03:42
Yes, you can follow me at Camila Dees on Instagram.
03:46
