Pop superstar Taylor Swift has finally bought back the rights to her first six albums. This marks a big moment in her career and a personal victory for her. She made the announcement on Friday, May 30, 2025, through her official website, saying that her hugely successful Eras Tour helped make this dream possible.
Taylor Swift Buys Back Her First Six Albums
In 2019, the rights to her early albums were sold to music manager Scooter Braun as part of a business deal when he bought her former record label, Big Machine. Taylor was very upset by this because she didn’t have any control over her own music. Later in 2020, the rights were sold again to an investment company called Shamrock Capital. Taylor decided not to work with them at the time because Scooter Braun was still making money from the deal.

Now, after years of effort, Taylor has officially purchased the master recordings of her first six albums from Shamrock Capital. These include “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989,” and “Reputation.” She did not reveal the cost, but it is believed to be over $300 million.
Taylor thanked her fans for their support in helping her get back what she called her life’s work. In her message, she said that for the first time, she truly owns the music she created. She also shared that she now owns the music videos, concert films, album art, photos, and unreleased songs related to those albums.

Over the past few years, Taylor has been re-recording her old albums under the title “Taylor’s Version” to regain control and show fans the new versions that she fully owns. Now, with the original masters back in her hands, it feels like a full circle moment in her journey as an artist.
This move not only gives her more creative power but also sends a strong message to the music industry about artists’ rights. Taylor’s story is a powerful example of standing up for your work and fighting for what truly belongs to you.
