Taylor Swift May Reclaim Her Masters with Support from an Unlikely Ally

Taylor Swift may soon regain control over the original recordings of her first six albums — a major move in the pop superstar’s ongoing mission to own her music. Sources say the rights, currently held by Shamrock Capital, are now potentially up for sale, and Taylor Swift has been given the chance to buy them back.

Scooter Braun Reportedly Backs Taylor Swift in Masters Buyback

What’s unexpected? Scooter Braun — the music executive at the center of the original controversy — is reportedly encouraging the deal.

Back in 2019, Braun’s acquisition of Big Machine Label Group (and with it, Swift’s masters) led to a very public dispute. Swift responded by launching a re-recording project, releasing new versions of Taylor Swift’s albums to regain artistic and financial control.

Now, five years later, a potential deal worth an estimated $600 million to $1 billion could allow Swift to own both the original and re-recorded versions of her early catalog, including albums like Fearless, Speak Now, and 1989.

If successful, the deal would give Swift unprecedented leverage over how her music is licensed and used in media — a major win for artists’ rights in the music industry.

Still, some observers wonder what this means for her “Taylor’s Version” project. The re-recordings have become more than just business moves — they’ve turned into cultural events, empowering both Taylor Swift and her fan base. Reclaiming the originals might shift that narrative, even if it strengthens her control.
