Taylor Swift buys back the rights to her first six albums, ending a long-running battle over the ownership of her music.

"All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me," said the star, announcing the news on her website.

The saga began in June 2019 , when music manager Scooter Braun bought Swift 's former record label Big Machine and, with it, all of the songs from Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now , Red, 1989 and Reputation.

Braun later sold his stake in her back catalogue to Shamrock Holdings , a Los Angeles investment fund.

In 2023 , Forbes magazine reported that Swift had become the first musician to make $1 billion ( 740,000 ) from songwriting and performing.

Revisiting the old material inspired Swift 's career-spanning Eras tour, which made more than $2 billion in ticket sales across 2023 and 2024 .
