CNN —Scooter Braun would like to change the subject. The music exec particularly would like for people to stop talking about his very public and controversial sale of megastar Taylor Swift’s master recordings, saying that “five years later, I think it’s time to move on” from the topic. “I think that it’s important in any kind of conflict that people actually communicate directly with each other. I think doing it out on social media and in front of the whole world is not the place,” Braun said. To the audience’s surprise – made clear by the audible wave of murmurs and gasps – he name-checked Swift.

"Fearless (Taylor's Version)""Fearless (Taylor's Version)" was released in 2021. "For example, only I know which songs I wrote that almost made the 'Fearless' album," she continued. Many were skeptical that the "Taylor's Version" project would be embraced by fans, let alone achieve commercial success. Those skeptics were forced to eat their words when "Fearless (Taylor's Version)" began to outpace the original on streaming platforms. According to Billboard, "Fearless (Taylor's Version)" earned more equivalent album sales in its first week of release than "Fearless" earned over the entire next year.
