When Taylor Swift felt like a 'prized calf'

Taylor Swift, the billionaire singer, has been the ‘Mastermind’ when it comes to lyrical prowess and unmatched musical artistry, transcending expectations and breaking records. For someone who knows trouble, Swift was once blinded by former label boss

Scott Borchetta

, who treated her like a ‘prized calf’ and sold her

master recordings

to Scooter Braun.

Taylor Swift on losing her trust

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the ‘Bad Blood’ singer admitted that she was heartbroken after the sale, as she considered herself as a daughter Borchetta never had rather than a mere price deal.
“I wanted to be friends with him. I thought I knew what betrayal felt like, but this stuff that happened with him was a redefinition of betrayal for me, just because it felt like it was family,” the singer stated. “To go from feeling like you’re being looked at as a daughter to this grotesque feeling of 'Oh, I was actually his prized calf that he was fattening up to sell to the slaughterhouse that would pay the most,” Taylor added.

The violation and betrayal

When Taylor addressed the violation in a Tumblr post, Borchetta spread the falsified rumours of the ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ singer refusing to perform at Ariana Grande’s One Love Manchester Charity Concert and Parkland shooting victims’ march.

“Here’s the thing: Everyone in my team knew if Scooter Braun brings us something, do not bring it to me,” Taylor shared the tension regarding the situation.

A 'Feminine Body of Work' dealt by two men

Additionally, she was disappointed by the fact that the two men dealt a feminine body of work for $300 million from the loaned money and raised a scotch glass in the sense of victory against Taylor Swift - about the hush-hush deal that the singer didn’t see coming. “And I couldn’t say anything about it,” she added.
For the unversed, Borchetta’s record label, Big Machine, sold Taylor Swift’s six albums - ‘Taylor Swift,’ ‘Fearless,’ ‘Speak Now,’ ‘Red,’ ‘1989,’ and ‘Reputation’ for $300 million (£245 million) in June 2019, according to Music-news.
