Taylor Swift Officially Buys Back Her Entire Music Catalog

Taylor Swift has officially taken back control of her music by purchasing the master recordings of her first six albums, ending a years-long battle over her early work.
The pop superstar announced on May 30, 2025, that she had acquired the masters from Shamrock Capital, the investment firm that previously held them. The deal includes her self-titled debut, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation, along with related assets such as music videos, album artwork, and unreleased content.
This achievement follows a lengthy dispute that began in 2019 when music manager Scooter Braun purchased Big Machine Records, the label that owned Swift’s original masters. Feeling blindsided by the sale, Swift began re-recording her albums under the “Taylor’s Version” banner to regain ownership.
Now, with both the originals and re-recordings in her hands, Swift has secured complete control of her catalog. The acquisition, reportedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars, is being celebrated as a major win for artists’ rights and creative freedom.
This move not only closes a controversial chapter in her career but also reinforces Swift’s position as a powerful advocate for musicians taking ownership of their work.
