Taylor Swift was not pleased when fans began alerting her Thursday to the apparent impending release of a live album from her early days as a recording artist, taking to social media to slam Big Machine for being "tasteless" and showing "shameless greed" in exploiting her catalog.

In her ire, Swift did not hesitate to call out not just Scooter Braun but individual investors she sees as being at fault for enabling his investment in Big Machine last year, claiming, hyperbolically or otherwise, that they must need money after overpaying for her catalog.
