Scooter Brown Mistaken for Taylor Swift Adversary Scooter Braun
Scooter Brown of the country and Southern Rock outfit the Scooter Brown Band appreciates your passion, Swifties. But he is not the droid you’re looking for. So please stop sending him wishes that his penis fall off and his kids go blind, because he’s got no business with that dude Taylor Swift is beefing with at the moment.
Taylor Swift sent the music world into a tizzy on Sunday (6-30) after her former label Big Machine Records was sold to music impresario Scooter Braun for $300 million. Swift raised a stink from all the harmful things she said she’s experienced via Scooter Braun’s hands over the years, most by the proxy of some of his clients, including Kanye West and Justin Bieber. This activated the Swift army in earnest, who’s been looking to waylay anyone or anything that has to do with Scooter Braun, or Big Machine Records owner Scott Borchetta, who Swift alleges refused to offer to sell her masters back to her before selling the label to a man she despises. Meanwhile poor Scott Brown of the Scooter Brown Band has become collateral damage.
“It’s come to my attention that some people think I am Scooter Braun after receiving nasty comments all day,” Scott Brown said. “We ain’t at all associated with Scooter Braun, Taylor Swift or any of the controversy going on this week. In fact, we’re currently on the road for the next two months playing our asses off all over the United States. Please be nice to us and go listen to our music instead. Peace.”
Scooter Brown (commonly abbreviated for both the band and the frontman) recently received national attention as one of the contestants on the USA Network’s Real Country as a member of the Travis Tritt’s team. Either an errant keystroke, or simply searching the more commonly-spelled Scooter Brown via search engine easily pulls him up as someone affiliated with the music business.
“We need your help! It’s Scooter Brown, not Scooter Braun…” the band’s publicity agency 117 Entertainment posted on Monday (7-1). “As such, Scooter Brown and the band have been getting loads of hate messages from angry Taylor Swift fans! Opinions and politics aside, it’s pretty clear that this is a messy situation – Scooter Brown is just trying to tour, make music and have fun. We’d love your help in sharing the news that this Southern Rocker is not the Scooter they’re looking for.”
A retired United States Marine Corps member, Scott Brown originally formed Scooter Brown in the Houston area. After meandering along mostly in the Texas music scene for years, the Scooter Brown Band was signed to the Nashville booking agency APA in 2016. Their latest record, 2017’s American Son was released in collaboration with Red River, BFD, and Sony Orchard.

This was my biggest problem with the entire thing Taylor Swift did, you complain about bullying, however by releasing that statement the way you did, you immediately knew that your millions of fans would start a full force online bullying campaign. Yes, people have a right to speak up when they are wronged, but she could have ended her message with some type of message that she does not want this type of behavior to happen in any way. It is just somewhat hypocritical to gripe about bullying and then basically do something you know is going to generate millions of fans bullying people online.

That isn’t what caused her fans to go ballistic. One could reasonably expect a young pop star to react emotionally when seeing her work hijacked for decades. What is surprising is that music executives of hundred million $ plus empires and their board member, who need said pop star to get a return on their investment, all publicly and viciously attacked her. The board member, Erik Logan, from BMLG basically said that her shine had dulled. Imagine how the investment group who fronted $300 million must feel to see those executives responding like preteen girls in a fight instead of as strategic business men who need to fix a problem. Braun, the guy who they gave $300 million to to make the deal, posted a meme on his instastory that said he “bought Taylor Swift”.
I can’t think of any industry executive anywhere who would have reacted the way Braun, Borchetta, and Logan did. It’s a pitiful sight.
They invited unpleasant scrutiny upon themselves. And they deserve what they are getting.

What about a name change?
We have some fine names here & nobody will mistake Scooter Braun & Scooter Brown.
Why not: Toivo Kumpulainen Band, Tapani Järvenpää Band or Urpo Hämäläinen Band?
Too long…well…what about Väinämö Repo or Kaarle Mäenpää?
Still too long…let’s have a look…Asko Mäki! That’s it….The Asko Mäki Band.

This T Swift thing has been hell for my band too, “The Shooter Don Band” ..!!!!
So after we started getting some nasty messages, we changed our name to….
“Pooter Bound Band”…..but dang…..That didn’t help either !!!!
So, THEN…we changed our name to…”The Moped Electric Shavers”…!
But we STILL received lots of….toxic social media…!!!!
Finally, we changed our name to…”The Rolling Stones” …..now, the harassment has stopped and the band is getting a lot more gigs….!!!!!

Are these her German fans making this mistake?
July 2, 2019 @ 9:41 am
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate…

Hopefully Scooter Brown will get a few Spotify listens, now. I know I am listening to American Son.

Wait, outrage mobs aren’t that smart?? Stop it with this crazy talk already.

I looked for the fake news tag but it’s not there. No mention of Mr. Frankenfurter had me worried and then the end of the article confirmed it. If Swift fans are going to go on the attack, wouldn’t they at least make sure they have the correct person?

Maybe they didn’t have time to do their research since Mommy limits their computer or cell phone time.

Interesting

Some people are saying Cooter Brown is catching some static too. Imagine how he must feel.

I saw Scooter and his band and they were great. Had never heard of them before that. They say there’s no such thing as bad publicity. I hope that’s true in this case.

The majority of her fans are hateful towards you if you don’t worship the “Queen”. She needs to come out & make a statement to address this issue, but I am sure the spoiled child won’t. It’s always about: HER, HER, HER

It says something about the mainstream culture of the millennial generation that their biggest celebrity is a girl who spent most of her career saying that women are victims. This is not surprising since that is what today’s young women have been taught by the progressive social justice warriors who run our public schools and universities and dominate the pop culture.
What is more surprising to me is the number of self described “conservatives” who used to praise Ms. Swift as a “role model”, because she wore a few white dresses and mentioned God in a few of her songs when she was in high school.

Has anyone checked on former Major League Baseball player Steve Braun to make sure he’s doing okay?

Scott Borchetta is a fake imposter he actually stole my company Big Machine Records , LLC my name is David Dwayne Gould and I created Big Machine Records , LLC just last March 2018 I filed the ceo and member as my alias name Scott Borchetta a name I created from scratch March 2018 . Because I stole over $250,000,000,000,000.00 I didn’t want to use my original name . And what happens Some scum that now goes by the name Scott Borchetta stole my company from the start . He also paid himself out of my company over $200,000,000.00 from when I made up I incorporated it in 2005 . The truth is I steal shit loads of money and I always look for Taylor swift I found her at the age of 12 and funded her lifestyle business wise from day one . I wish she would give me credit for that I really whent all out of my way to support her and Scott Borchetta gets the credits . Just like her songs I wrote them all and Jack Antinoff , shellback and max Martin gets the credits when they were my fake alias names I created I was going to forge my identity with Scott Borchetta name as well as Max Martin and so on .
