Taylor Swift’s fans blasted “fraud” Scott Borchetta after the record executive took a trip down memory lane to celebrate 20 years since meeting the singer.
“Today marks the 20th anniversary of my first meeting with Taylor. A day that changed both of our lives,” the Big Machine Records founder captioned a throwback photo shared on Instagram Saturday.
“This photo was taken two nights later at the Bluebird Cafe. You see the back of my head, bottom left, T, and then Andrea [Swift] across the room…
“Always proud of the art and the work she did while we were together… and just as proud of her now. Keep crushing it… xx,” Borchetta, 62, concluded.
Despite his seemingly heartfelt message, fans of the Grammy-winning songstress called out the music exec for his infamous history with the pop star, 34.
“this is so ridiculous. attention seeker behavior. fraud,” one Swiftie posted.
“This made me sick 
he’s so gross to keep try to make amends online and use her still to this day,” another added.
Others labeled the tribute “so desperate” and “SOOO embarrassing.”

In June 2019, Swift said that she was “grossed out” after learning Borchetta had struck a deal with Scooter Braun for her music catalog in the latter’s acquisition of Big Machine Label Group.
The $300 million deal sparked drama between the trio even though the pop hitmaker later told Vogue in August 2019 that she didn’t attempt to purchase her masters.
“It was either investing in my past or my and other artists’ future, and I chose the future,” she said at the time.
Later that same month, she appeared on “Good Morning America” and revealed plans to re-record her first six albums to own her music.
“It’s something that I’m very excited about doing because my contract says that starting November 2020, so next year, I can record albums 1-5 all over again,” the “Cruel Summer” singer said.
“I’m very excited about it because I think that artists deserve to own their work. I just feel very passionately about that.”
