In addition to Swift calling out Braun, she also told the crowd, “One thing that has been really wonderfully consistent throughout the entire time that I’ve been making music is that I write all of it and it’s my favorite thing – to write songs and then they go out into the world and I’m really lucky that you guys are nice enough to care about those words that I’ve written, sing the words back to me. It’s legitimately the coolest feeling in the world.”

Swift’s announcement during the concert follows the drama between Swift and Braun, who bought Scott Borchetta‘s Big Machine Label Group. Swift wrote a post on Tumblr that explained how she felt about the situation and explained that Braun would have ownership of her master recordings.

She has noted that she is “now signed to a label that believes [she] should own anything that [she creates].”
