In a move that has stunned the music industry and thrilled fans worldwide, Taylor Swift has officially reclaimed ownership of her original master recordings, the crown jewel of her artistic legacy.
The global superstar announced in a heartfelt open letter shared moments ago, confirming that she now owns her full music catalog, including her first six studio albums.
The journey to this milestone has been anything but smooth. In 2019, the rights to Swift’s early discography were sold to music executive Scooter Braun by her former label, Big Machine Records, a deal Swift publicly condemned, stating she was not allowed to purchase her own work.
In response, Swift launched the now-celebrated Taylor’s Version campaign, re-recording and re-releasing her albums to regain control over her art.
The initiative not only garnered critical and commercial acclaim but also ignited conversations about artists’ rights and ownership across the entertainment industry.
Now, after years of legal maneuvering and negotiations, Swift has reportedly acquired the rights to the original master recordings that had once been out of her reach.
“I’m proud to say that I finally own my life’s work,” Swift shared in her statement. “This moment is not just for me — it’s for every artist who has been told ‘no’ when it comes to owning their art.”
Swift’s triumph marks a significant victory in the ongoing debate over intellectual property in the music world, further cementing her legacy not only as an artist but as a fearless advocate for creator rights.
