Taylor Swift’s old music is now hers to keep

As we all know, the singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has been extremely popular in the pop and country genres of the music industry. While she has been dating Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, she has recently gained fame due to her earlier musical career. For her first few Albums, in which she first launched her career, she repurchased the original recordings: “Taylor Swift,” “Speak Now,” “Fearless,” “Red,” “1989,” and “Reputation.” These albums made her who she is today, becoming a young billionaire in the music industry, from her early fame to her current 35s. She had to acquire the rights to her albums from a private equity firm, Shamrock Capital. 

While many artists begin their careers at a young age, they often lack awareness of the legal obligations that come with signing with a record label, making it difficult for them to own their music. While fans are happy to hear she has ownership, this tends to lead to acknowledging that her old music was more popular than her new. Taylor Swift has made a significant move within the music industry, as Taylor Swift completely controls who can use her music, including how it is used, such as through re-recording, licensing, and other forms of exploitation. There is considerable speculation about whether she will re-record her old music and share the original soundtrack with her fans.
