This revelation comes after Scooter Braun, once Kanye West's manager and Justin Bieber's current manager, paid more than $300 million for Taylor Swift's back catalog.
Swift was very vocal in an online letter that \"Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter.\"

During the chat, Swift also announced that she's opening the VMAs Monday night, her first performance at the event in four years. The interview and performance comes one day ahead of her album launch and after a huge year for the superstar.
Robin Roberts announced prior to the show that presales will have the album platinum before it even comes out.
\"This is insane,\" she said, looking at the crowd. \"We're having fun, right?\"
After the interview, Swift began her performance with \"You Need to Calm Down,\" rocking out as fans danced and sang along. Next, she performed another song from \"Lover,\" with the hit \"ME!\"

Swift closed with an old classic, \"Shake It Off.\" When fans thought the show was over, she told them, \"We can do one more.\"
