The goal of the "vs" format is for viewers to watch both parts and leave with their own opinions.
"True to the ‘vs’ format, the two episodes will examine the opposing sides of the argument; one exploring Swift’s side that the sale was conducted without consulting her and that she has since been blocked from buying back her masters, and the other examining Braun’s allegations that Swift refused to negotiate and instead incited a public feud by pitting her fan base against him," the press release said.
Other installments of this series include: "Johnny vs Amber" about Johnny Depp's UK libel suit against The Sun over a story about alleged abuse against his then-wife Amber Heard, "Kim vs Kanye: The Divorce" about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's divorce in 2021 and "Vardy vs Rooney: The Wagatha Trial" about the UK defamation trial between Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney.
