Swift Gains Full Ownership of Original Masters

Taylor Swift has regained full ownership of her first six albums by purchasing her original master recordings from Shamrock Capital, concluding a six-year dispute that began when Scooter Braun acquired her catalog in 2019. Swift now controls all aspects of her musical legacy, including music, videos, concert films, and unreleased material. She credited her fans and the financial success of the Eras Tour for enabling the acquisition, calling it her 'greatest dream come true.' While Swift confirmed ongoing work on 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' and her self-titled debut, she revealed she has struggled to re-record 'Reputation,' feeling the original can't be improved. The achievement was widely celebrated by the music industry, peers, and celebrities such as Travis Kelce and Caitlin Clark. Even Scooter Braun expressed happiness for Swift, signaling closure to their long-standing feud.
