TaylorAlisonSwiftisanAmericanpopandcountry musicsinger-songwriter. She wasbornonDecember
13th
, 1989 and inPennsylvania.Currentlyshe hasproduced9albums.
It all startedinJune 2019, whenmusicmanagerScooterBraun (whoworkswithartistslike JustinBieber,
Demi Lovato,and ArianaGrande) acquiredTaylor'soldrecordingcompany,BigMachine Label,andwith
it,the mastersforTaylor'sfirstsix albums.Mastersare the original recordingof songs.
So,by owningthose,Scooterowned Ms.Swift’s music. TaylorsignedwithBigMachine at16 and by
signinghercontract she ‘sold’all the musicthatshe wouldthenbe producingwiththe label.Overthe
years,rumorsof conversationsbetweenMs.SwiftandMr. Braun wouldbe abouther ‘begging’himfor
the right to buyhermastersfrom him.
WhenMs. Swift’scontractendedin2018 (she left BigMachine forRepublicRecords) she wasforcedto
leave the mastersof herfirstsix albumsbehind (debut(self-titled),fearless,speaknow,red,1989, and
reputation).InNovember2020, ScootersoldTaylor'smastersto an investmentfund,Shamrock
Holdings,forover$300 million.
She saidthat she was onlymade aware of Braun sellinghermastersaftershe receivedaletter fromthe
investmentfund,lettingherknowtheyhadpurchasedhermusic,videosandalbumart.
Insteadof takingthisas a loss,Tayloris usingthisas an opportunitytogoback and relive those ‘eras’by
rerecordingthose firstsix albums.
Whenit isa rerecordedtrack,a (Taylor’sVersion) wouldbe atthe endof the songtitle,signifyingher
newownership.
As a ‘gift’fromherto herdevotedfans,she is releasingthe ‘vaulttracks’alongsidethe rerecords,which
are never-beforeheardsongsthathave not‘made the cut’ to be on the original versionof thisalbum
