Taylor Swift is in the middle of a media firestorm thanks to her lengthy Tumblr post that called out music industry executive Scooter Braun for purchasing her masters (click here to read) – a move that ultimately means she has no ownership of any of her own work that precedes content from her forthcoming album, ‘Lover’ (August 23).

Swift’s catalog – reportedly valued at over $300 million – has been the source of debate for most of the day (June 30) as fans, music industry analysts, and fellow celebs alike have weighed in on the matter.  While some have sided with the Grammy winner, as evidenced by the trending hashtag #WeStandWithTaylor, others have remained loyal to Braun and maintain he’s done nothing wrong (click here to read more).

Among those supporting Swift are Miley Cyrus, Halsey, and even her former nemesis, Katy Perry.  The latter was among many who took to the net to sign a Change.org petition that calls for Taylor to re-record her first six albums.  Details inside:

‘Look What You Made Me Do’ may be exactly what Scott Borchetta, the founder of Big Machine Label Group, was thinking when he dug up receipts to refute Taylor Swift‘s claim that she was blindsided by Scooter Braun‘s acquisition of her masters (valued at a whopping $300 million).

After the Grammy winner took to Tumblr to slam Braun for purchasing her catalog – an acquisition her reps claim she didn’t find out about until it went to press – Braun’s wife and fellow celebs weighed in on the PR disaster (click here to read).

Borchetta, among the attacked by Swift’s devoted fans, is trying to clear his good name and has proof he says will show the singer did know about the deal ahead of time.  It should be noted, the 29-year-old – in her lengthy Tumblr post (that can be read by clicking here) – did reveal she was given the opportunity to purchase her masters but only “one album at a time.”  Per his newly unveiled documents, Scott says this isn’t true.

With just a few weeks to go before Ed Sheeran unleashes his star-studded ‘No.6 Collaborations Project LP,’ the Pop force has premiered the video for the Khalid assisted ‘Beautiful People.’

Directed by Andy McLeod, the visual for the Max Martin + Shellback production follows a content couple who are dropped into a world of excess and high society, yet don’t feel obligated to fit in with their new settings.

On working with Khalid, who joins the likes of Bruno Mars, Cardi B, and Eminem on ‘No.6,’ Sheeran said:

 “Khalid’s got an undeniable, soulful voice and I knew he would be perfect for this track. I think we both connect to the song in the same way and I’m really happy we got to work together.”

Check out both the song and visual after the jump…
