Taylor Swift announced she now owns the rights to her first six studio albums, gaining control over her master recordings, music videos, concert films, and unreleased songs. This achievement follows a long battle against Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings, which acquired her original masters in 2019. Swift previously committed to re-recording these albums, releasing four "Taylor's Version" albums from 2021 to 2023. In her heartfelt website letter, she thanks her fans for their support, attributing her success in acquiring her music to them, while also revealing that the re-recording of her album Reputation would not be completed as initially planned.
"To say that this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it," she wrote in her letter, before thanking the Swifties.
"All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me," she wrote. This overarching statement encapsulates the emotional weight of her years-long struggle.
"The passionate support you showed those albums and the success story you turned The Eras Tour into is why I was able to buy back my music." This highlights the vital role her fans played in her journey.
"Full transparency: I hadn't even re-recorded a quarter of it," she admitted. This showcases the challenges she faced regarding her re-recording process.
