Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato Move on from Music Manager Scooter Braun

Two legends of pop music – Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato – are moving on from music manager Scooter Braun, reports say.

Citing a "source close to the situation," Entertainment Weekly reported that "Grande has parted ways with Braun, after signing with the mogul back in 2013."

"The two first started working together on Grande's first album, 'Yours Truly,' which marks its 10th anniversary next week," EW added. "The split was first reported by Puck News co-founder Matt Belloni on social media."

Demi Lovato, who came out as non-binary in 2021, is also looking elsewhere. Referencing music magazine Billboard, EW "confirmed that [Lovato] is searching for new management after splitting from Braun last month."

"Lovato has released two albums since signing with Braun: 2021's 'Dancing with the Devil... the Art of Starting Over,' which hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and last year's pop-punk 'Holy Fvck,' which scored a No. 7 on the chart," Billboard detailed.

"A source close to the situation says the move was mutual and amicable," EW added. The entertainment outlet recalled that "Lovato signed with Braun in 2019."

EW detailed that "News of Grande and Lovato's departures follows a Puck report last week indicating that Justin Bieber, who first linked up with Braun way back in 2008, was also potentially seeking new management. But representatives for Bieber and Braun have since denied rumors of a split."

But Braun retains plenty of other top musical acts, EW noted, including "Ava Max, Black Eyed Peas, Dan + Shay, Tori Kelly, and more."

"Braun previously made headlines for a years-long dispute with Taylor Swift over the rights to the master recordings of her first six albums, which Braun's Ithaca Holdings acquired in 2019 and later sold to private equity company Shamrock Holdings," EW said.

"Swift ultimately decided to re-record her albums in a bid to own them for herself, with the next release, '1989 (Taylor's Version),' slated for Oct. 27."

Lovato has also re-recorded some of their music, Billboard said. On Sept. 18 the artist "will release 'Demi Lovato Revamped,' which includes reworked rock versions of her biggest hits including 'Heart Attack,' 'Sorry Not Sorry' featuring Slash, 'Cool For the Summer' and more."
