Taylor Swift regained control of his musical catalog almost six years after he had been sold to producer Scooter Braun.
“I have been breaking in crying of joy at random intervals since I discovered that this is really happening. I can really say these words: all the music I have done … now it belongs to me … to me,” wrote the American singer in a letter published on her website.
Swift said that having been able to recover his music has greatly due to the support he received from his followers during his international tour ‘The Eras Tour’ that began in March 2023 and concluded in December 2024, raising more than 2,000 million dollars in ticket sales.
“My fans know how important it has been for me, so much that I rewritten and launch four of my albums, calling them ‘Taylor’s version’,” he said about what he described from his “biggest dream made reality.”
“The passionate support they showed to those albums and the success story in which ‘The Eras Tour’ made me repurchase my music,” he said.
Swift’s attempts to recover his music began when in June 2019 Scooter Braun, then stars manager such as Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, acquired Big Machine Label Group, the record label that possessed the masters of his first six albums.
From then on, Swift publicly denounced that he was denied the possibility of buying them directly and that his catalog was sold without his consent, which led her to undertake a re -registration project to recover control of her work.
A year later, Braun sold the catalog to Shamrock Capital without consulting the singer, and this Friday Swift said that the musical company was the one that contacted her to make this possible.
“They managed each interaction with us honest, fair and respectful. For them it was a business, but I felt that they saw it as what it was for me: my memories, my sweat, my calligraphy and my decades of dreams. I am infinitely grateful,” she said.
