Scooter Braun and his media holding company Ithaca Holdings LLC have sold the master rights to Taylor Swift’s first six albums, Variety reports and Taylor Swift confirmed.

After news about the sale emerged, Taylor revealed what she knew about the deal saying her team attempted to negotiate with Braun about bidding on her own work, but was told she’d have to sign an NDA prohibiting her from talking about Braun in a less-than-positive way. “My legal team said that this is absolutely NOT normal, and they’ve never seen an NDA like this presented unless it was to silence an accuser by paying them off,”

Taylor said that Braun will still continue to profit from her catalog “for many years” and that “Scooter’s participation is a non-starter for me.”

Been getting a lot of questions about the recent sale of my old masters. I hope this clears things up. pic.twitter.com/sscKXp2ibD
