Scooter Braun has heard the fan theories that his 2022 divorce from Yael Cohen<\/strong> inspired Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cVigilante S***.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Scooter<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, \u2018cause I talk to Yael every day,\u201d Braun, 44, said on the Thursday, July 17, episode of the \u201cQuestion Everything\u201d podcast, denying the 2022 single is about his breakup. \u201cMy ex-wife is one of my best friends. So, me and my ex-wife laugh about that stuff. We don\u2019t even call each other \u2018ex.\u2019 That\u2019s, like, my partner. [She\u2019s] the mother of my children [and] that is my family for life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI have a tattoo on my finger that says \u2018same team\u2019 after my divorce because she and I are [on the] same team for life. It\u2019s what we say to each other. So, no, I never thought that it was about us, [and] she never thought it was about us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Braun further quipped that the rampant theories were a \u201cgreat strategy move\u201d to drum up attention for\u00a0 \u201cVigilante S***\u201d \u2014 but he wasn\u2019t the lyrical inspiration.<\/p>\n

Braun filed for divorce from Cohen in July 2021 after seven years of marriage. The pair, who share three children, finalized their divorce in September 2022, agreeing to split assets and with Braun being ordered to pay child support. That same year, Swift, 35, released \u201cVigilante S***\u201d on her Grammy-winning album Midnights.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cShe needed cold, hard proof, so I gav\u0435 her some \/ She had th\u0435 envelope, where you think she got it from?\u201d Swift sings. \u201cNow she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride \/ Picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife \/ And she looks so pretty \/ Drivin\u2019 in your Benz \/ Lately, she\u2019s been dressin\u2019 for revenge.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

While Swift famously doesn\u2019t reveal her musical muses, fans presumed the \u201cex-wife\u201d in question was Cohen because of the pop star\u2019s infamous bad blood with Braun.<\/p>\n

Swift had recorded her first six albums under Big Machine Records, which sold the music rights to Braun\u2019s Ithaca Holdings firm in 2019. Swift claimed at the time that she was never given the option to own her own work and planned to rerecord the albums instead. Braun later sold the discography to Shamrock Capital in 2020 for $300 million.<\/p>\n

Swift was ultimately able to buy back the masters from Shamrock earlier this year.<\/p>\n

As for Braun, he responded in a statement shared with Us Weekly.<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI am happy for her,\u201d he succinctly said.<\/p>\n
