Taylor Swift announced this Friday that he has 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,” the American singer wrote in a letter published on her website.
Swift said that having been able to recover his music has greatly due to the great support he received from his followers during his international tour The Eras Tour which 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 as his” biggest dream come true. “
“The passionate support they showed to those albums and the success story in which they turned The Eras Tour They allowed me to 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 the musical company was the one who contacted her to make this possible.
“They managed each interaction with us in an honest, fair and respectful way. 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.
