Justin Bieber remains loyal to Scooter Braun amid Taylor Swift controversy

Justin Bieber has subtly shown his loyalty to longtime manager Scooter Braun, who along with Big Machine Records CEO Scott Borchetta has been accused of blocking Taylor Swift from performing her older material during award shows, most recently the AMAs.

Bieber took to Instagram to address Swift’s accusations, reposting a screenshot of a TMZ article claiming Swift is “dead wrong” for claiming she is no longer allowed to perform her old songs, contradicting claims she made the previous day.

In a statement released to Page Six, Big Machine Label Group called the singer’s claims “false information” and rejected her statement that the group has control over her performances.

“As Taylor Swift’s partner for over a decade, we were shocked to see her Tumblr statements yesterday based on false information. At no point did we say Taylor could not perform on the AMAs or block her Netflix special. In fact, we do not have the right to keep her from performing live anywhere,” the music company wrote in its statement.

“Since Taylor’s decision to leave Big Machine last fall, we have continued to honor all of her requests to license her catalog to third parties as she promotes her current record in which we do not financially participate.”
