Taylor Swift‘s re-recording of her first six studio albums is the topic of a new upcoming docuseries on Max.
Max announced earlier this week that a two-part docuseries “Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood” will be released featuring the feud between Swift and the music industry mogul, who purchased Swift’s masters in 2019.
According to the streamer, viewers will explore the intricacies of music ownership, gender dynamics in the industry and the power of fan influence. Legal experts, journalists and sources close to Swift and Braun will be presenting both sides of the argument for the series.

The new docuseries on Max will be in “vs” format, which means the installment will take the form of two 60-minute episodes, one diving into each side of the debate, as the series title suggests.

The goal of the “vs” format is for viewers to watch both parts and leave with their own opinions.
“True to the ‘vs’ format, the two episodes will examine the opposing sides of the argument; one exploring Swift’s side that the sale was conducted without consulting her and that she has since been blocked from buying back her masters, and the other examining Braun’s allegations that Swift refused to negotiate and instead incited a public feud by pitting her fan base against him,” the press release said.
Other installments of this series include: “Johnny vs Amber” about Johnny Depp‘s UK libel suit against The Sun over a story about alleged abuse against his then-wife Amber Heard, “Kim vs Kanye: The Divorce” about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West‘s divorce in 2021 and “Vardy vs Rooney: The Wagatha Trial” about the UK defamation trial between Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney.
Braun paid over $300 million for the rights to Swift’s first six albums.
“Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood” premieres on Max sometime in June 2024, almost exactly five years after Braun bought the rights to Swift’s first six albums.
