In a matter of days, the music world erupted into drama as Taylor Swift accused entertainment executive Scooter Braun of being a bully after he acquired her music catalog from her old label Big Machine Records. Almost immediately, celebrities began taking sides in the feud, and soon enough, it felt like everyone in the music scene (and not in the music scene) was involved in the debacle.
