Taylor Swift buys back all her music, says she "kept hitting a stopping point" on "Reputation" rerecording

Taylor Swift announced Friday she has bought back her first six studio albums, the masters of which were sold to celebrity manager Scooter Braun in 2019.

"I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening," Swift wrote in a letter shared on her website. "I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made… now belongs… to me."

After the masters were sold in 2019, Swift said she would rerecord the albums, so she would own the updated versions. She has released four: "Fearless (Taylor's Version)" and "Red (Taylor's Version)" in 2021, and "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" and "1989 (Taylor's Version)" in 2023.
