Taylor Swift buys back the rights to the master recordings of her first six albums


After her former label sold her catalogue in 2019, Swift embarked on her lucrative album rerecording project – but now owns the originals for the first time

Braun at one time managed Kanye West, who repeatedly targeted Swift after he infamously invaded her acceptance speech at the 2009 VMA awards. Fans have been speculating as to their possible release dates for years, leaping on the colours of her outfits and what they perceive to be clues in her limited social media posts to deduce when they would appear. The four previously released rerecordings broke commercial and chart records for Swift: in the UK alone, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) clocked higher first-week combined streams and sales – 184,000 – than the original total of 90,000 a decade earlier.
