Taylor Swift was the first artist on the label\u2019s roster when she was just 15. The label went on to add more artists through the years, with acts like Sheryl Crow, Lady Antebellum, Thomas Rhett, Rascal Flatts and Florida Georgia Line currently on that list. Borchetta will reportedly still maintain his role as president and chief executive of Big Machine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScott started in 2005 with no furniture in the lobby, and I started from my car wondering what am I going to do next,\u201d said Braun. \u201cFourteen years later this deal is a testament to what we\u2019ve been able to build.\u201d And Borchetta echoed those sentiments. \u201cAs country catches up we\u2019re able to plug into a pop landscape that will turbocharge opportunities for these artists,\u201d Borchetta said.<\/p>\n<p>Braun is well-known and highly regarded in the music business, mainly because he was instrumental in discovering Justin Bieber, and has since taken on artists like Ariana Grande, Zac Brown Band and J. Balvin.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Alison makes her living loving country music.
