Swift gains control of her music catalogue

2025-05-31
LOS ANGELES: Pop superstar Taylor Swift said on Friday she had purchased the master recordings of her first six albums, giving her control of all of her music after a dispute with her former record label.

Swift`s masters had been sold in 2019 and the singer said she was not given the opportunity to buy them at the time. She re-recorded four of thealbums with the subtitle `Taylor`s Version.

On Friday, Swift said she had purchased the original recordings from current owner Shamrock Capital. No financial terms were disclosed.

`I`ve been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out this is really happening,` she said in a statement on her website.-Reuters
