Scooter Braun is a music manager who has worked with famous artists like Justin Bieber. Braun owned the rights to Taylor Swift's first six albums when he made a deal with her old music company and acquired the label Big Machine Records. Even albums like 1989 and Reputation, which Taylor Swift released under Big Machine Records, became part of this deal.
