The music industry is in a state of CHAOS after Taylor Swift released a scathing Tumblr blog post where she reveals her long-time manager Scott Borchetta sold her entire back catalogue to a man she describes as a “bully”, Scooter Braun.

In Taylor’s post, she explains why Braun acquiring the rights to her music is her “worst nightmare” because the man has been nothing but malignant to her in the past, including that time when he allegedly asked Justin Bieber and Kanye West to “bully” her.
“Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo),” she writes.
Below is the photo Swift added to the post which is an Instagram pic uploaded around the same time that Kim and Kanye launched their Taylor Swift take-down campaign.
In the pic, Bieber can be seen FaceTiming Braun and Kanye.

“This is Scooter Braun, bullying me on social media when I was at my lowest point,” she wrote on the post. “He’s about to own all the music I’ve ever made.”
Justin had previously captioned the image “Taylor Swift, what up” to make it clear that the four men were mocking her, but following Swift’s blog post, he has edited out the caption.
He later posted a vintage photo with Swift and wrote a lengthy caption where he started by apologising to Swift, then ended up siding with Braun and accused her of writing the post to gain “sympathy” and to direct her fans to “bully” Scooter.
Following Bieber’s ‘apology’ (if you can call it that), his wife Hailey Bieber commented “gentleman” on the post – Why? We still don’t know.
And neither does Cara Delevingne who slammed both Biebers for their attack on Swift.
“Gentleman? @haileybieber @justinbieber you must be bored,” she wrote.
“I wish you spent less time sticking up for men and more time trying to understand women and respecting their valid reactions.”
She then addressed Justin, writing: “As a married man, you should be lifting women up instead of tearing them down because you are threatened. I am not sure you actually understand what an apology is.” LOUDER. FOR. THE. PEOPLE. IN. THE. BACK.
“The issue that @taylorswift is talking about is far more than a picture and you know that. As you said, you haven’t spoken to her in years which means you definitely don’t understand the situation. I do.”
She concludes, “Take a step back and try and learn from this. We should all be on the same team. End of story.”
