Taylor Swift Buys Back Her Music for $360 Million
Taylor Swift bought back her music catalog for $360 million.
Travis' support comes after Taylor revealed on Friday, May 30, that she had bought back the master recordings of her first six albums — which she lost the rights to in 2019 after record label Big Machine sold them to music executive Scooter Braun.
Taylor now owns all rights to her earlier albums — Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989 and Reputation — and previously secured ownership of her newer albums through a 2018 deal with Universal Music Group and Republic Records.
After the "All Too Well" singer announced the major news, a news outlet reported that Shamrock Capital, who bought Taylor's masters from Braun's Ithaca Holdings in 2020, sold Taylor her catalog back for $360 million. The whopping price was "relatively close" to what the company paid for it in the first place.
