A Closer Look At Swift’s Latest Feat

Their latest outing comes just a day after Swift regained control of her song catalog, six years after it was sold to Scooter Braun. On Friday, May 30, the singer announced that she now has the rights to her master recordings.

I almost stopped thinking it could happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that’s all in the past now. I’ve been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I’ve ever made… now belongs… to me.

In 2019, Braun’s company, Ithaca Holdings, acquired Big Machine Label Group, where Swift recorded her first six albums. Part of the deal was control of the singer’s master recordings for albums “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989,” and “Reputation.” In 2020, Braun sold them to private equity firm Shamrock Capital.

Meanwhile, PEOPLE reported that Scooter Braun was not involved in the sale, despite earlier claims that he had encouraged Shamrock Capital to pursue the deal. A source stated that “there was no outside party” pushing for the transaction, emphasizing that it was Swift’s team who worked hard to close the deal.
