Scooter Braun reveals rumours about Taylor Swift’s 'Midnights' track
Music executive, Scooter Braun, denies rumours that Taylor Swift’s ‘Vigilante S---' is about his relationship with Yael Cohen
Scooter Braun, known for discovering teen sensations and managing global pop stars, has addressed Taylor Swift’s Midnights track that was rumoured to be about him.
Back in 2022, the Grammy-winning singer released the song Vigilante S***.
On the track, Swift sings: "She needed cold hard proof so I gave her some, she had the envelope, where you think she got it from? Now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride. Picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife. And she looks so pretty, driving in your Benz, lately she's been dressing for revenge."
The song was released after Braun finalised his divorce from his ex-wife, Yael Cohen, fuelling rumours that Swift had written about them.
In an interview with Danielle Robay for her podcast Question Everything on Thursday, July 17, Braun revealed that he doesn’t believe the song was about his divorce.
"No, because I talk to Yael every day," the music executive said in the interview. "My ex-wife is one of my best friends, so me and my ex-wife laugh about that stuff."
Braun added that he and Cohen don’t even call each other exes.
"That's like my partner, that's the mother of my children," he said about Cohen, adding that she is his "family for life."
"I have a tattoo on my finger that says 'same team' after my divorce because she and I are on the same team for life," he said. "That's what we say to each other. So no, I never thought that was about us. She never thought it was about us, and everyone else kind of feeding into the fire — great strategy move, but nah."
