Taylor Swift doubled his views after recovering his first six albums

Last Friday, Taylor Swift announced that he recovered the property of his first six studio albums, after years of legal disputes. This movement caused an unprecedented increase in Spotify’s listening, reactivating the global interest in the original recordings that marked the beginning of their career.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, all the original versions of the six albums doubled their reproductions in Spotify on May 30, compared to the daily average between April 1 and May 29. Although absolute figures were not published, the percentages reflect the magnitude of the phenomenon.

“Speak Now” headed the global rebound with an increase of 430%. They followed “Taylor Swift” (220%) and “reputation” (175%), both without re -recorded versions. “Fearless”, “Red” and “1989” also showed important increases, with rises of 160%, 150%and 110%, respectively.

In total, the listeners of the artist in Spotify increased 40%, positioning it among the most popular of the platform, with more than 82 million monthly listeners.

The conflict for the property of his music began in 2019, when Executive Scooter Braun bought Big Machine, a stamp that promoted Taylor Swift’s career. This operation gave her the rights to the six initial albums of the singer, a situation that she described as “my worst possible scenario.” Swift denounced years of “manipulative intimidation” by Braun.

Subsequently, the rights passed to Shamrock Capital, an investment firm that acquired the catalog for a similar figure. According to reports, Swift bought its catalog for more than 300 million dollarsin an operation that marked the closure of one of the most media disputes in the sector.

In a message spread on social networks after the announcement, the singer said: “I was crying with joy since I discovered that this was really happening … all the music I did … now it belongs to me”. These words reflect the personal and symbolic value of this achievement for the singer.

For Swift, this step not only represents obtaining your rights, but also a reaffirmation of your artistic autonomy, in an environment where contractual conflicts are usual.

As part of its strategy to counteract the loss of rights, Swift began publishing new versions of its original albums under the seal “Taylor’s version”. In this sense, he already re -recorded four of the six initial albums, obtaining great commercial success.

During that process, many followers chose to listen only to these versions re -recorded, as a sign of support for the artist. Now, with the recovery of the original masters, it is expected that both the original versions and the restrained coexist on digital platforms, expanding Swift’s musical legacy.

The recovery of the rights of its first six albums not only marks a personal triumph for Taylor Swift, but also establishes a precedent in the music industry about the importance of intellectual property and artistic control. This milestone reinforces its position as one of the most influential and empowered artists of its generation.
