Scooter Braun isn’t leaving any blank space for rumors.
The music mogul addressed longtime speculation that he and his ex-wife Yael Cohen were the inspiration for Taylor Swift‘s 2022 song “Vigilante S–t,” which tells the story of the “Cruel Summer” singer helping a scorned woman get revenge on her cruel husband.
And for Scooter, there’s one major reason he says the track can’t be based on what went down between him and Yael when they broke up in 2021 following seven years of marriage.
“‘Cause me and Yael talk every day,” the 44-year-old explained during a July 17 episode of the Question Everything podcast. “My ex-wife is one of my best friends. So, me and my ex-wife laugh at that stuff.”
In fact, Scooter—who shares kids Jagger, 9, Levi, 7, and Hart, 5, with Yael—said he and his former partner don’t even like to refer to each other as “ex.”
“That’s the mother of my children,” he said. “That is my family for life. I have a tattoo on my finger that says ‘same team’ after my divorce because she and I are the same team for life. It’s what we say to each other.”
