Scooter Braun realized “All Too Well” that he didn’t score an invite to the party of the summer.
The 43-year-old took to social media to troll Taylor Swift after the singer threw a star-studded bash at her $17 million Rhode Island mansion over the weekend.

Braun then posted a follow-up story that showed a TMZ Instagram post featuring pictures from the Grammy winner’s soiree, writing, “How was I not invited to this?!?”
He added in the bottom corner: “#laughalittle.”

“I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past,” she wrote at the time.
Swift also said that Braun acquiring her catalog — from her 2006 self-titled debut album through 2017’s “Reputation” — was a “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,” she continued. “And when that man says ‘Music has value,’ he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it.”

Meanwhile, Braun had a different version of events, telling Variety in 2021 that he asked Swift to meet with him “several times,” but she declined.
“I regret [it] and it makes me sad that Taylor had that reaction to the deal,” he told the outlet. “All of what happened has been very confusing and not based on anything factual. I don’t know what story she was told.”
Swift told Vogue in 2019 that she hadn’t tried to buy back her master recordings when she had the chance, which led to Braun selling them for more than $300 million .

“It was either investing in my past or my and other artists’ future, and I chose the future,” the artist admitted.
But Swift ended up rerecording all of her albums and, so far, has released “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” “Red (Taylor’s Version),” “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”
