Overview
- Swift bought back the master recordings for her first six studio albums from Shamrock Capital on May 30, restoring rights she lost in 2019
- The deal includes not only audio masters but also music videos, concert films, album art, photography and unreleased tracks from those eras
- Her Taylor’s Version campaign delivered new editions of Fearless, Red, Speak Now and 1989, she has completed her debut re-recording and is partway through Reputation
- Reports place the price near Shamrock’s original $300–360 million investment, funded in part by revenue from her $2 billion-grossing Eras Tour
- Scooter Braun said he is “happy for her,” and Swift’s success has reignited industry discussions on artist rights and master ownership
