## Resource

Scooter Braun says he barely knew Taylor Swift before buying Big Machine in 2019, claiming they met only three times and that he still does not understand why the masters dispute escalated into one of the music industry's biggest controversies. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Maddox has filed to legally remove “Pitt” from his surname, following several of his siblings who have also distanced themselves from the family name amid ongoing family tensions. Eight Houston-area students were safely rescued after spending about four hours stranded nearly 100 feet in the air when the Iron Shark roller coaster at Galveston’s Pleasure Pier malfunctioned and stopped during its ascent.
