'Vigilante Shit' Is Taylor Swift's Mic Drop to the Scooter Braun Drama (Vulture)

Vigilante Shit,” off Taylor Swift's new album 'Midnights,' is Swift once again wielding her pen to settle scores. This time, she targets Scooter Braun in a ...

[A half-hearted statement](https://www.vulture.com/2022/09/scooter-braun-taylor-swift-masters-regret.html) about his “regret” around the deal.) The fight over her masters had already been a winning issue: Swift came in exponentially more famous and beloved than Braun, [her rerecordings have only made her more so](https://www.vulture.com/2022/10/taylor-swift-rerecorded-albums-which-album-is-next.html), and the idea that an artist should own her music adds up logically and morally. [ she wrote alone](https://www.vulture.com/2022/10/taylor-swift-midnights-song-writers-credits-zoe-kravitz.html), Swift is at her venomous best. On “Vigilante Shit,” the only song on Midnights that She’s skeptical, almost mocking, when she sings, “Ladies always rise above,” in the bridge, but at the same time, that’s her attitude here. It’s a signature Swift earworm, but it’s also a motto for her celebrity. Elsewhere, she surveys the fallout from her claim on “mad woman” that [Braun, now divorced](https://www.vulture.com/2021/07/scooter-braun-divorcing-wife-yael-cohen.html), is a cheat. “Draw the cat eyes sharp enough to kill a man,” she sings, and then adds a few lines later, “They say looks can kill, and I might try.” She’s past the reflections of “mad woman” and onto throwing barbs. She’s not rising above the drama, but she is carrying herself as the winner. [Midnights, Swift’s tenth album](https://www.vulture.com/2022/10/taylor-swift-midnights-album-stream.html). “I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace / ’Cause when I’d fight, you used to tell me I was brave,” Swift sang on “my tears ricochet,” seemingly to Scott Borchetta, her former champion who first signed a teenage Swift to his Big Machine label before later overseeing the sale of her catalogue to her chief nemesis, Scooter Braun. The provocatively titled “Vigilante Shit” seems to revisit [the Braun-Borchetta drama](https://www.vulture.com/2019/11/taylor-swift-scooter-braun-and-borchetta-feud-explained.html) head-on while also returning to the scorekeeping, revenge-seeking Swift we thought we might have seen the last of during folklore and evermore. Swift’s message to Braun, though, was even clearer: “I’m takin’ my time / Takin’ my time / ’Cause you took everything from me,” she sang on “mad woman.” Still, these songs were cloaked in the fictional haze of that era, far from a direct response.

Taylor Swift's Latest Album Includes an Ode to the Revenge Dress (TownandCountrymag.com)

Indeed, Swift's tune "Vigilante Shit" seems to draw on some similar inspiration, with a verse featuring lyrics about delivering "cold hard proof" to another nameless character's ex-wife, saying, "Now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride," ...

That's because the artist's latest album, Midnights, happens to include an homage to [revenge dressing](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/fashion-trends/g39128561/revenge-dress-meaning-history-princess-diana-julia-fox/)—an art perhaps most iconically associated with Princess Diana when the royal all but single-handedly brought the [concept of the revenge dress](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/fashion-trends/a36120274/princess-diana-revenge-glamour-trend/) into our cultural lexicon in 1994, with the little black dress seen around the world. That infamous LBD—an off-the-shoulder Christina Stambolian gown that hugged the Princess of Wales flawlessly—was worn just days after Prince Charles admitted to infidelity on national television, and was seen by the public as a very pointed snub to Diana's then-husband. It's not the first time Swift has been linked in the public mind with Diana's famous dress—fans previously noticed a marked similarity between the gown and a dress that the singer-songwriter wore on a November 2021 episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers when she was promoting her version of the album Red.
