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.

Even hours later, few people could agree on what, exactly, former President Donald J. Trump said about Milwaukee when he met with House Republicans in Washington on Thursday. According to various people in the room, Mr. Trump, during his meeting with House members at the Capitol Hill Club, complained that the pop music megastar Taylor Swift would support President Biden over him. Mr. Trump has previously argued that Ms. Swift, who endorsed Mr. Biden in 2020 but has not done so this year, should back him instead. One of Ms. Pelosi’s daughters pushed back on social media, calling Mr. Trump’s reported remark a lie.

Taylor Swift was apparently the rare celebrity to ask if FTX dealt in "unregistered securities." But her team agreed to a tour sponsorship with FTX, The New York Times reported. Swift would not endorse FTX, and the proposed arrangement had been "narrowed down to a tour sponsorship deal," a source familiar with the discussions told Insider.

Swift and FTX had contemplated a $100 million sponsorship deal, the FT reported in December.
