Taylor Swift Regains Control of Her Entire Music Catalog
NEW YORK (AP) — May 30, 2025 – In a landmark announcement, Taylor Swift revealed that she has regained full ownership of her music catalog, a significant milestone in her career. On her official website, Swift expressed gratitude to her fans, stating, “All of the music I’ve ever made now belongs to me.”
The pop superstar’s message came after purchasing her entire catalog from Shamrock Capital, the private equity firm that acquired it from Big Machine Records. While financial details remain undisclosed, Shamrock expressed joy over the outcome, affirming their support for Swift.
This pivotal moment follows years of Swift’s efforts to reclaim her musical legacy, sparked by music manager Scooter Braun’s controversial dealings with her early works. To regain control, she has been re-recording her first six albums, with her latest efforts including successful releases of “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” “Red (Taylor’s Version), and “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”
While she noted that her self-titled debut album has been completely re-recorded, she also hinted at the potential return of “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” at an opportune moment. Swift’s journey serves as a testament to an artist’s fight for ownership in the music industry.
