As announced on Tuesday, the show will be titled "Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun: Bad Blood," a play on the 34-year-old pop star's 2014 hit.

The series will be a part of the "vs." collection at Warner Bros. Discovery UK and Ireland. Previous iterations included Amber vs. Johnny, detailing Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's fiery legal battle, and Kim vs. Kanye: The Divorce, following the breakup between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in 2021.

The latest docuseries will focus specifically on Taylor and Scooter's falling out following the controversial sale of the Grammy winner's masters in 2019.

After Scooter's Ithaca Holdings purchased Big Machine Label Group (BMLG), with whom Taylor had been signed since she was 15, the music executive turned around and sold the masters of her first six albums to an investment firm called Shamrock Capital.

Scooter made a profit of $265 million from the buy-and-sell, and Taylor fumed over the move, alleging that she was never given the chance to buy her own masters nor informed that they were going to be sold again.

The following year, Taylor began her re-recording project to devalue the original masters of her first six records – a tactic that has garnered unprecedented success.

The Karma singer released Fearless (Taylor's Version) – her first re-recording – in 2021. The revamped version of her Grammy-winning 2008 album featured new recordings of the original tracklist, new album art, and several previously scrapped "From the Vault" tracks.

Since then, Taylor has released her versions of Red, Speak Now, and 1989, with Swifties quickly vowing to abandon the original recordings in favor of those the musician owns.

Her most recent re-release, 1989 (Taylor's Version), earned Taylor the biggest debut of her career with 1.6 million units sold in its first week before being surpassed by her latest original album, The Tortured Poets Department.
