Taylor Swift is already the proud owner of all her musical catalog, approximately six years after protesting the sale of her master recordings by her old record.
Swift announced the news in a letter published on its website this Friday, in which she wrote: “All the music I have made … now it belongs to me … to me.”
The winner of multiple Grammy specified that she owns all her musical videos, concert movies, records of records and photographs, in addition to unpublished songs. He bought his music “without conditions, without partners, with total autonomy” to Shamrock Capital, a risk capital society that had acquired his master recordings.
“To say that this is my biggest dream, reality is to be quite reserved in this regard,” Swift wrote, who added that he could “repurify” his music to Shamrock after the success of the Eras Tour tour.
Swift thanked his followers for the success of his tour, which has broken records, and wrote: “I have no words to thank you for helping me to meet again with this art to which I have dedicated my life, but from which I had never owned so far.”
Swift also thanked Shamrock Capital “for being the first people” who offered him the opportunity to repurify his music, and described his commercial acurdus with the company as “honest, fair and respectful.”
“For them it was a business, but I really felt that they saw him as what it was for me: my memories, my sweat, my lyrics and decades of dreams,” he wrote.
The master recordings of the first six Swift albums were sold to producer Scooter Braun and Shamrock Capital in 2019. After negotiations to repurchase music at that time they failed, Swift decided to recording the albums.
CNN has contacted Brawn and Shamrock Capital to obtain comments in this regard, although he has not yet obtained an answer.
Swift published what he described as the “Taylor’s version” of “Red”, “Speak Now”, “Fearless” and “1989”. In each album “Taylor’s version”, it has included a series of unpublished songs.
Until now, many of the calls Swifties They hoped that at some point he would release new versions of the 2018 “Reputation” album and his 2006 SWIFT SWIFT SWIFT DEBT DEBUT ALBUM. AND SWIFT commented on the novelties of the state of those two re -regions in his Friday’s announcement. While he said that the entire album “reputation” did not end up rewriting, the refrabation of his debut album is complete.
Swift wrote in his letter that maybe one day “those two albums can again arise when the right time”, only if that is something that “excites” his followers.
“But if it happens,” he added, “it will not be from a place of sadness or longing for what I would like to have. It will simply be a celebration.”
His four re -recorded albums have had enormous success, some even more than when they were first published. After the launch in 2023 of “1989 (Taylor’s version)”, whose original album published in 2014, the album was the thirteenth number 1 on the Billboard Billboard 200 list, according to the Musical List site.
Part of that success can be attributed to the unpublished songs included in each album of “Taylor’s version”. “Is It Over Now?”, From “1989 (Taylor’s version)”, for example, it remained for a week at number 1 of Billboard Hot 100.
Swift wrote this Friday that he has not re -recorded a quarter of “reputation” because the album “was so specific to that time of my life, that I always stopped me when I intended to re -record it.”
However, he hinted that if his followers “like the idea”, one day he could publish the unpublished songs of that album.
Swift’s effort to re -record his first six albums, which lasted years, unleashed a continuous debate in the music industry about the rights and ownership of artists, something that Swift mentioned in his Friday letter.
“I feel extremely encouraged by the conversations that this saga has revived in my industry between artists and fans,” he wrote. “Every time a new artist tells me that he negotiated the property of his master recording in his record contract due to this fight, I remember how important it was that all this happened.”
Swift ended his letter thanking those who have felt curious about something that was previously considered centered in the industry to be discussed on a large scale.
“They will never know how much it means to me to worry. Every detail told and brought us here,” he added. “Thanks to you, to your good will, teamwork and mood, the best things that have ever existed … finally exist.”
