Taylor Swift Buys Back Rights to her Old Music

Alsharq Tribune- Amira Younes 

Pop icon Taylor Swift, who has been publicly feuding with record executives since 2019 over the rights to her early music, now owns her entire catalogue, she said on her website Friday.

"All of the music I've ever made ... now belongs ... to me," she wrote, after years of dispute over her first six albums, a number of which she has rerecorded to create copies. The pop star said she purchased her catalog of recordings — originally released through Big Machine Records — from their most recent owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital.

She did not disclose the amount. “We are thrilled with this outcome and are so happy for Taylor,” Shamrock Capital said in a statement.
