Scooter Braun describes 'unfair' Taylor Swift controversy as 'a gift'

Scooter Braun has addressed his feud with Taylor Swift on Steven Bartlett's podcast Diary of a CEO, calling it "a gift" despite believing the bad press is gave him was "unfair."

Speaking to the Diary of a CEO host Braun said, "This is where my arrogance came in, I had a feeling she probably didn't like me because I managed them [Kanye West and Justin Bieber] but I thought that once this announcement happened, she would talk to me, see who I am and we would work together."

The feud would inspire conversations about artist rights, and the value of re-releasing music for years to come with Taylor Swift only recently managing to buy back her masters.
