After Losing Them, Taylor Swift Now Rightfully Owns All of Her Own Music Master Recordings instagram.com/taylorswift

Kapanlagi.com - Taylor Swift temporarily lost the rights to the master recordings of her first six albums in 2019, after music manager Scooter Braun, through his company Ithaca Holdings LLC, purchased her former label, Big Machine Label Group. At that time, Taylor Swift had already joined Republic Records.

The 35-year-old singer has finally regained the master recording rights to her first six albums, marking the first time she has full control over the entire music catalog she has ever created, according to NME reports.

"I almost stopped thinking this would ever happen, after 20 years of feeling like I was being chased by shadows and constantly being delayed," she wrote. "But now all of that is behind me. All the music I’ve ever made... is now mine," Taylor Swift wrote in an open letter to her fans released on Thursday (30/5/2025).

1. The Importance of the Struggle to Own One's Master Recording Rights

In her latest announcement, Taylor Swift stated that she has bought back the master recording rights including videos, concert films, album covers, photos, and unreleased songs from Shamrock.

"What I want most is the opportunity to work hard until I can finally buy my own music outright without ties, without partnerships, with full control," she expressed.

Taylor Swift then concluded her letter by highlighting the importance of artists' struggles to own their master recording rights, which was triggered by her struggle to re-record her works.
