Scooter Genuinely Thought Taylor Would Want To “Work Together” After He Bought Her Masters

Scooter told Steven that he was set to call Taylor to discuss their future when her Tumblr post went live, leaving him “shocked.”

However, he also insisted that the experience gave him a newfound empathy for the people he does work with, saying: “I’d always say: ‘Yeah, I understand’, but I never knew what it was like to be on the global stage like that.”

“I never knew what criticism like that felt like,” Scooter continued. “And like I told you, the biggest gift that I got from that was understanding that all the praise I had received up until that moment was not deserved, and all the hate I got after that moment was not deserved, because none of these people knew me. She didn’t know me.”
