Carlyle Group CEO says Taylor Swift catalog will be a 'successful investment'

Braun’s Ithaca Holdings and helped finance the $300 million deal Ithaca made to acquire Big Machine Label Group -- along with Swift’s entire back catalog -- from its founder, president and CEOThe sale immediately ignited an ongoing public dispute between Braun, Borchetta and Swift, who accused Braun of “incessant, manipulative bullying” against her for years and said she hadn’t learned about the deal until it was announced.

Swift subsequently announced a plan to circumvent the purchase of her master recordings by re-recording her back catalog, though she later accused Braun and Borchetta of trying to prevent it, saying and at the American Music Awards. In that same tweet, Swift sent out a plea specifically to Carlyle Group asking for help in the matter.

During the CNBC interview, Lee largely skirted Frost’s direct questions on the Swift dispute, noting he isn't “involved in the day-to-day of all of our portfolio companies.” When Frost quoted-- in which the Democratic presidential candidate said Swift “is one of many whose work has been threatened by a private equity firm" -- Lee also declined to directly address it.

“I do think private equity is a misunderstood industry,” he said. “We have an enormous value-added function in the economy because of the returns that we are providing to first responders, teachers, folks in unions.... We help businesses become better. We build better businesses. And everything that we do is to invest for impact. So, it is not only about looking for financial returns.”

It is not successful investment, but a successful steal

yes, by selling it back to her

Still can’t believe how stupid they are. Don’t stream Taylor’s old songs. Just wait when she re-records them. And them stream shit out of them.

in ur other article interviewing taylorswift13 today she stated clearly she’s perfectly content continuing NOT allowing her previous work to be used to make 1 CENT for THOSE MEN. So the exec. who even acknowledges no real knowledge of deal is full of 💩 StreamTheMan instead 😹

Why are people shitting on billboard? Reporters are supposed to report unbiased. It’s their jobs. It doesn’t mean they’re taking sides.

🙄

Im kind of sad she won’t be able to re-record reputation 😭

Disgusting

After she re record her catalogue. You will lose 300 mil.good luck

it might’ve been a successful investment had it been a different artist, but Taylor’s fanbase is so rabidly faithful that we won’t even stream the originals anymore after she re-records. I also have physical copies from when she was still with BM. I’m not giving y’all anything.

Too Bad they don't give a shit about making taylorswift13's LIFE & WORLD BETTER. (OM)

Tell Lee this is what will happen. NO ONE will RISK working w/ Carlyle group to use Taylor’s masters because it will be the END of those people/businesses. Swifties are MIGHTY. We will cancel anyone who goes that route. Don’t push us. swiftiesunite swifties taylorswift

once she releases new recordings of HER albums and HER music, they won't be worth anything 😂

TSwiftNZ always support taylor

yes for taylor.

OneCarlyle really who is the ceo. just admit u guys made a bad decision.

Whatever she touches or touched is gold

Ew they’re so creepy

This is laughable! She want even let her songs be used in movies because she doesn’t want the money going to you! Once she re-records her back catalog y’all are done!

yeah until november 2020

TSwiftNZ And worthless once she rerecords everything.

who’s gonna them 🤔

NOT A GOOD LOOK ...GROSS 🤢🤮

TSwiftNZ I been a swifr Tie fan since she first came out and i Have always loved her musoc. I wale every morning listening to her music a d i go to sleep listioning ro her music. So yes she os a good damn artist. And her music is awesome

The fact you’d allow this article about your woman of the decade proves your fake feminism and lack of respect for artists. You and Carlyle group and Scooter can all ch*ke (since I got suspended for that word scooter last time)

Can't believe I called it yesterday.

Wait for the tayvoodoo OneCarlyle

Still don’t understand how a company can own songs they had nothing to do with creating.

Does Carlyle Group CEO wanna explain why they fund genocide in Yemen

until she re records

yeah you wish don’t you

Lmao ok luvs

TSwiftNZ Sell it back clowns

successful investment how? she literally just confirmed our suspicions about how she denies any request for her music to be used for media, and confirmed that she's rerecording her music so the new copies can be used for trailers and such, and that's where the money is 💀

Carlyle Groups “investment” will not be successful. Karma is coming and there’s nothing Taylor does better than revenge 👌🏽

Hi, OneCarlyle.

Lol she literally turns down the usage of the master recordings to be used in commercials. CANT WAIT UNTIL SHE RE-RECORDS yael scooterbraun scottborchetta efosta tell your friend yael her husband is a greedy loserrrrrrr

The greediness jumped out—

Will it be successful once she re-records her catalogue in November then the investment is worth nothing?

She’s your woman of the decade and you publish an article like this? Classless

Yeah.. until she re-records.. but maybe that’s ok for the Carlyle group since it’s also ok for them to found gnodice in Yemen...

like & unlike this if nicki will be attending tomorrow!! please i won’t tell anyone

The hypocrisy of this article is unreal. The Carlyle group has been linked to funding & supporting terrorism in the Middle East. You are now further promoting their lies & propaganda. They will regret this once she re-records in 2020.

No it won’t. She’s blocking all their requests to use the music in movies and commercials because she wrote those songs and has a say in their use. Scooter Braun and Carlyle Group’s dirty $300m of money, stained with the blood of innocent Yemenis, will never be a good investment.

I like Taylor Swift music I hope she does good songs IAM into
