8 Beautiful Portraits of Taylor Swift Who Always Looks Simple, The Reason the Pop Country Singer Re-releases Her Albums as Taylor's Version

Taylor started writing her own songs at the age of 12, inspired by her personal experiences and the books and movies she watched. In 2005, Taylor finally signed a contract with Big Machines Records (Scott Borchetta)

Throughout her career with Scott Borchetta, Taylor has released 6 albums with two different main genres.

In 2016, Taylor faced public backlash that damaged her reputation due to her feud with Kim Kanye. As a result of the feud, netizens chose to defend Kim and Kanye and criticize Taylor Swift. Even a series of celebrities bullied Taylor, one of them being Justin Bieber.

When Taylor was feeling at her lowest point, Justin posted a screenshot on Instagram with Kanye and Scooter Braun. Added with a caption that seemed to mock Taylor Swift.

In 2018, Taylor Swift's contract with Scott Borchetta ended and she chose to switch labels to Republic Records and Universal Music Group instead of renewing her contract with her old label. The reason Taylor chose to switch labels was because her new label allowed her to retain ownership of all her album masters, provided artist rights for streaming services, and freedom to explore.

Everything started off normally, until Taylor Swift's old label sold her album masters to Scooter Braun. The owner of the master songs or albums means having rights to everything including album sales royalties, streaming services, music usage permissions, and Taylor Swift's previous photoshoots.

Even at the AMAs 2019, Taylor was almost not allowed to perform her own songs by Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta. Taylor felt upset and the only way to regain control of her master recordings was to re-release her first six albums.

Ultimately, Taylor Swift is currently creating Taylor's Version and re-recording her old songs in order to have full control over her original recordings or master tracks.
