Scooter Braun Comment on Taylor Swift’s Vigilante S— Song Explained

Wondering if there’s any insight from Scooter Braun on Taylor Swift’s “Vigilante Sh” song and whether it references him? The 2022 track has sparked much discussion among fans, as it dropped around the time Scooter was finalizing his divorce from Yael Cohen. Now, Scooter has finally spoken up, shedding light on the ongoing speculation surrounding the vigilante song and its supposed link to his personal life.

Scooter Braun talks about Taylor Swift track rumors

In the latest installment of the Question Everything podcast, Braun, at 44 years old, made it clear that he has always doubted Taylor Swift’s claims that her song “Vigilante Shit” was written about him and his recent divorce.

Braun clarified to Danielle Robay that he talks to Yael daily, indicating a strong bond with Cohen despite their past marriage. He referred to his ex-wife as one of his dearest friends and humorously added that they don’t use the term “ex” between them. Instead, he considers her like a partner and the mother of his children.

Even Braun showed off a tattoo on his finger, which says “same team.” This inkwork represents their unbreakable connection, as he put it, “We’re on the same team for life.

For those not familiar, the song by the vigilante has lines that fans quickly connected to Cohen’s personal life. The lyrics read: “She needed cold hard proof so I gave her some, she had the envelope, where do you think she got it from? Now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride. Picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife.” Given that this track came out during Cohen’s divorce proceedings, many fans perceived these lyrics as Swift taking Cohen’s side and casting shade at Braun.

Instead, Braun rejected those beliefs, clarifying that what struck him deeply was not the turmoil in the music industry but his marriage falling apart. “Even with a thriving career, an ideal spouse, a perfect life, children, and success,” he mused, “I believed it made me deserving of love. It wasn’t until our marriage disintegrated, and I couldn’t repair it that I felt like a failure because I lacked a solid foundation.

2019 marked the start of tension between Scooter Braun and Taylor Swift. This was due to Braun’s company, Ithaca Holdings, purchasing Big Machine Label Group, thus gaining control over Swift’s first six albums. The decision ignited a well-publicized dispute that eventually prompted Swift to remake her early music in order to regain authority over it.
