“I have been crying with joy since I knew that this is really happening. Now I can say the following words: all the music I have done … now … it belongs to me,” said the singer in a letter addressed to all your fans and published on its official site.
And now, after Taylor Swift The original versions of his albums was re -registered in recent years, now all his work is again.
This is especially important since the success of the original recordings continued to generate profits, but not for it.

This is Taylor Swift’s letter complete translated into Spanish:
I am trying to order my thoughts and create something consistent, but right now my mind is a disorganized chaos. I constantly wondered when, why and how I would have the opportunity to tell you this. I clung to it, I tried, but I fell. I almost stopped thinking that it could happen after 20 years of waiting for them to give me a reward and then snatch it to me. But all that is already a thing of the past. I have been crying with joy at random intervals since I discovered that this is really happening. Now I can really say these words:
All the music I have made … now it belongs to me … to me.
And all my musical videos.
All concert movies.
The art and photography of the albums.
The unpublished songs.
Memories. The magic. Madness.
Each era.
The work of my whole life.
To say that this is the dream of a superstar becomes a reality is, in reality, to say little. My fans know how important it has been for me, so much that I re -recorded it and published it meticulously again and again, calling it “Taylor’s version.” The passionate support they have provided to those albums and songs over the years gave life to the You were tourand that is what makes me come back now. I greatly thank you for helping me to meet again with the art I have dedicated my life, but I had never possessed so far.
All I have always wanted was the opportunity to work enough to buy my music directly, without conditions, or societies, with complete autonomy. I will be forever grateful to Shamrock Capital for being the first people to offer me this. The way they handled each approach has been honest, fair and respectful. This was a business agreement for them, but it really made me feel that they also saw what it means to me: my memories, my sweat, my writing and my dreams of decades. I am forever grateful. My first tattoo should be a great Shamrock logo in the center of my forehead.
I know, I know, what about REP TV (Reputation taylor’s version)? In honor of transparency: I have not re -recorded a quarter of that album. Reputation I was recorded at a very specific moment of my life and continually hit a ‘high’ sign when I try to rebuild it. All the challenge, the desire to be understood while I felt misunderstood on purpose, that desperate hope, that sarcasm and mischief born of shame. To be completely honest, it is the only album of those first six that I thought I could not improve by removing it. Neither music nor photos, nor videos. So I’m still postponing it. The time will come (if you like the idea) to incubate the unpublished songs of that album. My first album (Taylor Swift) He is already remote and I really love how it sounds. These two albums could still have their time to resurface when the right time, if it is something that excites you. But if that happens, it will not be from a place of sadness and yearning for what I would like to have. Now it will be from a celebration space.
I feel extremely encouraged by the dialogue that this saga has revived in the music industry between artists and fans. Every time some new artist and tells me that for this fight they negotiated their own original recordings in their contract, I remember how important it was for everyone to happen. Thank you for your curiosity at a topic that was taught as something too focused on the music industry and for a broader discussion. They will never know how much it means to me that they have cared. Each small detail counted and we end here.
Thanks to you, to your good will, to your teamwork and your courage, the best things that were once mine … Finally they are.
Euphoric and amazed,
Taylor
