One person who’s definitely not going to be on one of Taylor Swift‘s guest lists any time soon is Scooter Braun — but at least he seems to have a sense of humor about it.
On Instagram Stories Tuesday (Aug. 27), the music manager poked fun at his yearslong feud with the pop superstar by sharing a screenshot of TMZ‘s report about her recent beachside getaway with Travis Kelce, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes and other famous friends. “How was I not invited to this?!?” he wrote, adding the hashtag, “#laughalittle.”
Just before that, Braun also revealed that he’d given Max’s Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood a try. “I finally watched it…,” he wrote, sharing a screenshot of the project’s poster.
Billboard has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment.
It’s not the first time Braun has mentioned Swift on social media. After he purchased the pop star’s masters from Big Machine’s Scott Borchetta in 2019, he reposted and later deleted a friend’s congratulations that read, “When your friend buys Taylor Swift!!!” The “Karma” artist also called him out that year for posing in a screenshotted FaceTime call with Justin Bieber and Ye (formerly Kanye West), which the “Peaches” artist posted on Instagram along with the caption, “Taylor swift what up.”
“You’d think after his previous posts about her he’d learn by now,” an industry source tells Billboard of Braun’s latest posts about Swift. “It’s like he’s obsessed.”
Released on Max in June, Max’s documentary chronicled the SB Projects founder’s clash with Swift over the sale of her masters, the catalyst behind her “Taylor’s Version” re-records. The 14-time Grammy winner claimed at the time that she hadn’t been informed of Braun’s acquisition before it happened — which Borchetta denied — writing in a Tumblr blogpost that she’d only learned of the news “as it was announced to the world.”
“All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years,” she’d added of Braun at the time. “This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept.”
With all of that in mind, it’s not shocking that Braun wasn’t on the guest list for Swift’s gathering at her Rhode Island mansion, which Channing Tatum, Jason Kelce and Bradley Cooper also reportedly attended. The vacation comes on the heels of the “Anti-Hero” singer’s final shows in London on the European leg of the Ears Tour, which ended with five nights at Wembley Stadium.
“London felt like a beautiful dream sequence,” Swift wrote of the concerts in an Aug. 21 Instagram post. “All five crowds at Wembley Stadium were bursting with passion, joy, and exuberance. The energy in that stadium was like the most giant bear hug from 92,000 people each night, and it brought me back to a place of carefree calm up there.”
