After months of keeping a low profile, Taylor Swift returned to the spotlight on May 30 with major news that sent her fanbase into a frenzy. The global pop icon, who had been relatively quiet following the Super Bowl and the grueling 149-show “Eras Tour,” broke her silence on social media to announce a career-defining achievement: she now owns all of her music.
Taylor Swift regains control of her entire music catalog, celebrates with emotional post and rare video
In an emotional message posted to her platforms, Taylor Swift revealed that she has officially regained ownership of her master recordings for the albums she released between 2006 and 2017. This includes hits from albums like Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation. The move marks the end of a long legal and public battle that began when music manager Scooter Braun’s company acquired the rights to her early music in 2019.
“I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening,” Swift wrote. “I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me.”
She continued: “And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work.”
Swift reportedly bought back the rights from Shamrock Capital—the investment firm that had acquired the masters from Braun’s Ithaca Holdings—for approximately $360 million, according to Billboard.
Jack Antonoff shares rare video of Taylor Swift singing to mark the milestone
To celebrate the moment, longtime collaborator and friend Jack Antonoff posted a short but heartwarming video on X (formerly Twitter). The clip featured Swift singing “Getaway Car” from her 2017 Reputation album , joined by her famously elusive cat, Meredith. Antonoff captioned it: "rep forever guilt free listening!"
This moment was particularly poignant for fans who had previously hesitated to stream the original Reputation due to Swift’s lack of ownership. With the album now in her hands, “Reputation” quickly surged to No. 1 on the iTunes charts.
Swifties reacted with overwhelming joy online, flooding the comments with love. One fan wrote, “NEW TAYLOR FOOTAGE, JACK WE LOVE YOU,” while another added, “the concept of Meredith witnessing Swiftie independence day .”
