I'm surprised it took this long!
Her former manager, Dan Dymtrow is suing Taylor and her parents, Scott and Andrea, claiming they owe him millions in back commissions. He says he is the one who opened the doors to her success and he's the one who introduced her to industry insiders like Scott Borchetta, Big Machine Records CEO.
Dymtrow claims he was fired right before her deal with Big Machine so they wouldn't have to pay him.
They say he never received the proper court approval for his contract with a then 14-year-old Taylor so they could - and did - lawfully dissolve her agreement with him. Plus, they say this all happened well before her signing with Big Machine Records.
His case was launched in 2007, and a judge dismissed all but one of his seven claims. Last week The Swifts and Dymtrow filed a joint letter to obtain documents they believe support their sides when they meet in court. So that should be interesting.
No trial date yet, but I'll keep you up to date.
