Taylor Swift has now become the first woman to win the Billboard’s 'Woman of The Decade' award. In her acceptance speech, Taylor talked about the problems women face in the music industry. She also highlighted her personal struggles in the industry.

But one of the most talked-about moments from her speech was when she detailed her struggle with private equity and how Scooter Braun purchased her music. She stated that unregulated private equity has affected her personally. She said that people are coming in and buying an artist’s music like it is a piece of real estate. The statement was a reference to Braun buying her music catalogue from her former music label Big Machine. It led to Scooter Braun blocking her to perform her previously recorded songs.
