Ariana Grande 'frustrated' about Scooter Braun buying Taylor Swift's catalogue

Ariana Grande would like to speak out about manager Scooter Braun buying Taylor Swift's catalogue but she has been encouraged not to according to a new report.

The 26-year-old singer is one of the many talents overseen by the 38-year-old entrepreneur -  including Justin Bieber, Tori Kelly, Dan + Shay, Karlie Kloss, and others - who have been told to stay out of it according to a Monday report from Variety.

Of Grande, an insider said: 'She's frustrated by the whole thing.'

The insider said that Ariana wants to speak out but Braun 'is encouraging all of his acts to stay out of it.'

This comes after Ariana had deleted an Instagram Story post congratulating Scooter Braun on his Big Machine Records acquisition.

The No Tears Left To Cry songstress has appeared to withdraw her public show of support for her manager after Taylor Swift complained she felt 'grossed out' knowing the music mogul.

Swift has accused Braun of 'bullying' her, and he now owns her master records after his takeover.

Moreover, Swift claimed she never got a chance to buy them herself.

Nicki Minaj, Adele, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, Rihanna, Lana Del Rey, Selena Gomez and Camila Cabello have also reportedly stopped following Braun on social media since the feud began.

Selena's mom Mandy Teefey has spoken out to defend the ME! hitmaker and praised her for 'speaking out' about the deal.

She shared part of Taylor's Tumblr post on Instagram and wrote: 'I wish I could give you a big hug right now! Thank you for speaking out about this and teaching future young artist about protecting themselves. I don't understand the pleasure of power plays to simply hurt people!

'To deny you the option to own your blood, sweat and tears, especially as a young woman who shared growing up in front of the world, is heartbreaking!!'

Scooter's wife, Yael Cohen, called out the 29-year-old pop star and insisted Taylor knew about the deal before it was made public.

She also slammed the singer for calling her husband a bully.

Afterward, Mandy asked her to meet up in private for a 'mom to mom' meeting via Instagram caption.

She added: '@yael I would love to have a mom to mom meeting in private, drink some tea and have some real talk!! XO (sic)'
