The Beef That Made Billions: Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Scooter Braun (With Amber Kenny)

You don’t have to be a Swiftie to know there’s bad blood between Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Scooter Braun. What exactly went down between these three powerful and strong personalities? Who was really in the wrong here, and how did Kanye taking the mic from Taylor at the VMAs lead to the re-recorded albums known as “Taylor’s Version?” 

 

Joining Tess to parse and explain this twisted and juicy tale is performance artist and Taylor Swift expert Amber Kenny.
