Candace Owens went on a rant about Taylor Swift while appearing on “The Daily Wire” in February 2024. One thing about Swift that seemed to irk her the most was what she claimed is the musician’s “victim” mentality in business, specifically her contract with Scooter Braun. Owens explained, “If you have seen what she [Swift] has even done in business and how she tries to manipulate her audiences, like, to get out of deals and contracts, like, she’s totally insane. She’s the most toxic feminist that has ever existed.”
Swift and Braun have a years-long feud, and when the manager acquired her music in a business deal in 2019, the “Cruel Summer” singer was not happy, per Us Weekly. Swifties defended the musician as Braun and his family faced immense backlash for what he did. To Owens, this whole drama was insane.
After the “Daily Wire” interview went viral, Swifties attacked Owens for her take on the Swift and Braun feud. But the political commentator didn’t back down. She tweeted, “What Taylor did to Scooter Braun was an act of sheer evil. He legally purchased her catalog of music. Her father was on the board of and a partial owner of the company at the time and was therefore obviously aware of the sale.” She continued, “She simply didn’t like Scooter — lied to her fans and said she had no idea and would have purchased it herself (your dad didn’t tell you?)”
