Taylor Swift Wins Back Masters of Her First Six Albums

Taylor Swift Reclaims Masters of First Six Albums After 2019 Sale. Pop superstar Taylor Swift has announced that she has reacquired the master recordings of her first six albums, ending a long-running dispute with her former record label. Swift revealed the news on Friday in a statement on her website, expressing her excitement at regaining control of her music. "To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being understated," she wrote. The master recordings were sold in 2019, and Swift stated that she was not given the option to purchase them at the time. In response, she re-recorded four of the albums as "Taylor's Version." While the financial terms of the deal with current owner Shamrock Capital remain undisclosed, Swift's acquisition marks a significant victory for artists seeking ownership of their work.
