Todrick Hall Teams Up With Scooter Braun, Rekindling Tensions Around Taylor Swift’s Masters

Todrick Hall has joined forces with music executive Scooter Braun on a new musical project, a move that may draw attention because Hall once publicly defended Taylor Swift during her dispute with Braun, according to RadarOnline.com. The two are set to produce the Off-Broadway musical “Midnight.” The partnership stands in contrast to Hall’s earlier criticism of Braun. After Braun’s company acquired the rights to Swift’s first six albums in 2019, Hall, who had previously worked with Braun as a manager, condemned him publicly. A source quoted by RadarOnline.com questioned why Hall would now collaborate with Braun, describing the decision as a sharp turn given Hall’s past support for Swift. Swift’s conflict with Braun followed the acquisition of her former record label and focused on ownership of the master recordings for her first six albums. The dispute became a prominent issue in the music industry and drew strong reactions from fans and artists. Hall was among the people who spoke out in Swift’s defense at the time. The article says the circumstances have since changed: Swift announced on May 30, 2025, that she had bought back the masters to those six albums. Hall’s new project with Braun nonetheless brings their earlier history back into focus. RadarOnline.com presents the arrangement as a possible test of loyalties, though the report does not describe any response from Hall, Braun or Swift to the renewed attention.
