During her Amazon Prime Day concert on Wednesday night (July 10), the 29-year-old entertainer put some extra emphasis on lyrics from her song “Shake It Off.”
Taylor put extra emphasis on the lyrics “While you’ve been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats in the world” – and fans think it’s directed a Scooter.
Demi Lovato is always going to be loyal to her team and that’s why she is publicly showing support for her manager Scooter Braun, who is being bullied by fans of Taylor Swift following his purchase of her master recordings.
The 26-year-old singer only recently signed with Scooter and she is crediting him for coming into her life at the right time.
On her Instagram Stories, Demi wrote, “I have dealt with bad people in this industry and Scooter is not one of them. He’s a good man. Personally, I’m grateful he came into my life when he did. Please stop ‘dragging’ people or bullying them. There’s enough hate in this world as it is.”
Demi added, “Y’all can come after me all you want but I’m always gonna stay loyal to my team. I value loyalty more than most people in this world and if my name is gonna be brought into conversations I’m gonna stand up for myself and the ones on my team.”
Demi also hit the like button for the Instagram posts written by Justin Bieber and Yael Cohen in support of Scooter.
In response to Todrick Hall‘s claim that Scooter is homophobic, she said “making claims that someone is homophobic is really serious. Please don’t spread information that isn’t true because I can guarantee you Scooter isn’t.” See the whole response in the gallery.
Hailey commented on the post and simply said, “Gentleman.”
Cara replied in a comment and said, “Gentleman? @haileybieber @justinbieber you must be bored. I wish you spent less time sticking up for men and more time trying to understand women and respecting their valid reactions.”
She added, “As a married man, you should be lifting women up instead of tearing them down because you are threatened. I am not sure you actually understand what an apology is. This issue that @taylorswift is talking out is about far more than a picture and you know that. As you said, you haven’t spoken to her in years which means you definitely don’t understand the situation. I do. Take a step back and try and learn from this. We should all be on the same team. End of story.”
Cara Delevingne and Taylor Swift are longtime friends and the model even appeared in the “Bad Blood” music video.
Taylor said she learned about the news with the rest of the world and TMZ then reported that Taylor‘s dad Scott Swift is on the board of directors of Big Machine Label Group and “has known about the deal for at least a week.”
Scooter‘s wife Yael also wrote on Instagram and said that Taylor‘s “dad is a shareholder and was notified, and Borchetta personally told you before this came out. So no, you didn’t find out with the world.”
Now, Taylor‘s rep is denying that Scott called her in advance and clears up a report about her dad’s involvement. More Here! »
The 29-year-old musician was signed to the label for most of her career, before leaving and signing with Universal Music Group in November 2018.
It was announced on Sunday morning (June 30) that Scooter had bought the label group for $300 million, which means that he would now own all of Taylor‘s master recordings from all of her past music.
“Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters 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,” Taylor wrote on Tumblr.
“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. And when that man says ‘Music has value’, he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it,” she added.
“Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scott’s hands and not my future. And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make,” Taylor concluded her long post.

Justin Bieber might be just the most hilarious gift giver ever!
According to The Blast, the 25-year-old musician gifted manager Scooter Braun with a picture – of him!
Justin was in attendance at Scooter‘s 38th birthday party on Tuesday night (June 18) at the San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood, Calif., and he came in tow with a giant framed shirtless pic of himself.
The picture shows Justin in his Calvin Klein undies with the caption, “Happy Birthday Scooter … You’re welcome I’m awesome.”
LOL!
A source at the party shared that the gift was very “personal between” the two.
Can you believe Justin Bieber‘s “One Time” was released 10 years ago today?
The “Love Yourself” crooner’s manager Scooter Braun reflected on the milestone on Instagram on Saturday (May 18).
“10 years ago today we launched the first single for this young kid @justinbieber that I believed could change the game,” Scooterwrote. “We literally had to make the song ourselves outside of our label budget (which wasn’t even open) and my friend @trickystewart made the song with us as a favor. We put it out with no plan other than let’s hit the road with this guy @ryangood24 that @usher brought on and my friend @kennyhamilton who worked at T-Mobile in atl. We used YouTube and social media (never been done before at that time) to try and prove everyone wrong.”
“@allisonjamiekaye and I met this wild man @dankanter who might be one of the top 438 guitar players from Canada and added him to the team 😂,” Scooter continued. “We got a dj named @djtayjames off the college scene and off we went. @pattiemallette we were all so young but you trusted my vision for your boy and I thank you and honor you for that. 10 years later our lives have changed and that floppy haired kid has become a legend.”
“But beyond all his achievements since …I’m proud of the young man he has become,” Scooter added. “His heart for others is incredible and his growth at such a young age is admired. We have come so far in 10 years and so many other hits have happened (literally one right now with @teddysphotos at the top of the global charts) both in music and in life. But one thing has remained constant… @justinbieber is my family and I’m proud of him and I love him like family. #onetime #10years – watch what we do the next 10 years 😁.”
