"So, I would have to sign a document that would silence me forever before I could even have a chance to bid on my own work," she wrote. "My legal team said that this is absolutely NOT normal, and they've never seen an NDA like this presented unless it was to silence an assault accuser by paying them off."
She added: "He would never even quote my team a price. These master recordings were not for sale to me."
Swift also said she was aware of the sale to Shamrock before the news was reported: "This was the second time my music had been sold without my knowledge," she said.
She said she was notified about the sale from Shamrock itself but that Braun's team "had required that they made no contact with me or my team, or the deal would be off."
Shamrock may have wanted to make a deal with Swift to collaborate with her to promote the music in the future.
However, Swift said she declined a partnership with the fund because of Braun's ability to profit from the deal.
"I learned that under their terms Scooter Braun will continue to profit off my old musical catalog for many years," she wrote. "I was hopeful and open to the possibility of a partnership with Shamrock, but Scooter's participation is a non-starter for me."
For "transparency and clarification," she even shared the letter she sent to Shamrock in October, in response to the news that Braun planned to sell her masters.
Finally, the 10-time Grammy winner confirmed that she had begun to rerecord her first six albums, which she teased last year in response to Braun's purchase.
"It has already proven to be both exciting and creatively fulfilling," she wrote. "I have plenty of surprises in store."
A representative for Scooter Braun didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
