Justin Bieber slams Taylor Swift for ‘crossing a line’ with Scooter Braun

Singer-songwriter Justin Bieber defended longtime manager Scooter Braun’s after singer Taylor Swift released a statement criticising him for buying her music catalogue. Her statement came in response to Braun’s acquisition of Big Machine Records, which holds the rights to Swift’s first six albums.

On Sunday morning, the ‘You Belong With Me’ singer revealed that the music manager will soon own her entire music catalogue. After Swift’s post, the ‘Sorry’ singer issued his statement on the matter. While he apologised to the singer for sharing “hurtful” Instagram post in 2016 of him FaceTiming Braun and Kanye West, who is famously involved in a longtime feud with Swift, Bieber defended his manager.

“Hey Taylor. First of all i would like to apologize for posting that hurtful instagram post, at the time i thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive.. I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshoted of scooter and Kanye that said “taylor swift what up” he didnt have anything to do with it and it wasnt even a part of the conversation in all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that,” he wrote apologising for his old post.
