Pop icon Taylor Swift has revealed plans to rerecord the songs from her past six albums. She intends to do this in hopes of reclaiming control of her music after a deal that landed in her master rights in the hands of ex-manager Scooter Braun.
Swift’s former label, Big Machine, sold the master rights of her catalog (2006’s Taylor Swift through 2017’s Reputation) to Braun’s Ithaca Holdings LLC. Incidentally, she was distraught and issued a response via Tumblr calling the deal her “worst-case scenario.”
Taylor Swift apparently signed away her masters when she signed to Big Machine in 2005, when she was a teenager. She released her first six record albums, Taylor Swift (2008), Fearless (2009), Speak Now (2010), Red (2012), 1989 (2015), and Reputation (2017) through Big Machine.
The 29-year-old said,
“I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years.”
Big Machine CEO Scott Borchetta disputed several of Swift’s claims. Also, there were a lot of mixed reactions from other celebrities. However, Taylor Swift, in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, said she was ‘absolutely’ going to rerecord her back catalogue in response to the deal.
Lover, Swift’s first album for her new label Republic, is out this Friday, 23rd August 2019.
