Scooter Braun had some fun with the controversy around his estranged relationship with Taylor Swift over the weekend.

According to Page Six, the former music manager seemed to take some time off for a binge watch, because on Tuesday (Aug. 27), he wrote on his Instagram Story that he “finally watched” unauthorized HBO Max docuseries, Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood. Currently, the show has two episodes, titled “Taylor’s Version” and “Scooter’s Version,” which chronicle both sides of their feud over Braun acquiring the masters to Swift’s first six albums when he purchased record label Big Machine in 2019.

The docuseries apparently got to Braun because, in the story follow-up, he shared an image from Blake Lively's recent 37th birthday bash, thrown at Swift's Rhode Island estate, per TMZ.

"How was I not invited to this?!?" Braun wrote, adding, "#laughalittle."

But the mansion party had more than enough guests, with Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce and his brother, former NFL player Jason Kelce attending the event, along with Lively's husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, Patrick Mahomes, Bradley Cooper and more.

Although Swift has reworked her acquired projects into the Taylor's Version album series and Braun sold the master rights to the six LPs in 2020, Swift very publicly distanced herself from the since-retired manager in 2019.

"This is my worst case scenario," Swift wrote in a scathing Tumblr letter at the time. "This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term 'loyalty' is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says 'Music has value,' he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it."
