Taylor Swift finally owns all her music. After years of public struggle and strategic regrabations, the singer announced that she has acquired her original recordings, a crucial step that marks the closure of one of the most popular battles in the music industry.
The artist confirmed the news with an emotional letter published on her website, where she revealed that she now possesses all rights over her songs, videos, covers and unpublished material. Swift bought the masters directly from Shamrock Capital, a company that had previously acquired them from Scooter Braun. The treatment was closed for approximately 360 million dollars, according to Billboard.
This movement puts an end to a dispute that began in 2019, when Braun bought Big Machine Records, a seal that had the rights of the first six Swift albums. She described that purchase as her “worst nightmare.” In response, Taylor launched its ambitious project Taylor’s versionre -recording albums like Fearless, Grid, Speak Now and 1989to recover control over your work and allow your commercial use under your own terms.
Although he already rewritten four albums, Swift admitted that Reputation It has been an emotional challenge, and that has not yet completed a quarter. On his debut album, he already completely re -recorded, he was excited by his new version. Both albums could see the light later, when the moment is adequate.
With this achievement, Taylor Swift not only closes a personal cycle, but also feels a precedent in the industry. He inspired emerging artists to negotiate the property of his masters from the beginning of his careers. His victory is not only artistic, but also symbolic: now yes, “the best thing that has been his … finally is really.”
