Curious about what Scooter Braun thinks of Taylor Swift’s “Vigilante S—” song, and whether the lyrics are about him? For years, speculation about Swift’s pointed 2022 track has fueled debate among fans, especially since the song debuted while Braun finalized his divorce from Yael Cohen. Now, Braun has finally broken his silence, addressing the lingering rumors surrounding the vigilante song and its alleged connection to his personal life.
What did Scooter Braun say about Taylor Swift?
In a new episode of the QUESTION EVERYTHING podcast, Braun, 44, clarified that he never believed Swift wrote “Vigilante S—” about him or his 2022 divorce.
“No, because I talk to Yael every day,” Braun shared with host Danielle Robay, emphasizing that he and Cohen remain close. “My ex-wife is one of my best friends, so me and my ex-wife laugh about that stuff. We don’t even call each other ex. That’s like my partner, that’s the mother of my children,” he shared.
Braun even revealed he has a tattoo on his finger that reads “same team,” symbolizing their lifelong bond. “She and I are on the same team for life,” he said.
For the unversed, the vigilante song contains lines that fans quickly linked to Braun’s personal life. “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,” the lyrics read. With the track’s release coinciding with his divorce, many interpreted the lyrics as Swift siding with Cohen. They also believed she was throwing shade at Braun.
However, Braun dismissed those assumptions, explaining that what truly impacted him wasn’t the music industry drama but his marriage ending. “So having the perfect career, the perfect wife, the perfect life, the kids, the success, I thought that made me worthy of love,” he reflected. “It wasn’t until our marriage came apart and I couldn’t fix it. I felt like a failure because I didn’t have a foundation.”
The rift between Scooter Braun and Taylor Swift began in 2019. It was when Braun’s company, Ithaca Holdings, acquired Big Machine Label Group, granting him ownership of Swift’s first six albums. The move sparked a highly publicized feud, which later led Swift to re-record her early music to regain control.
