Taylor Swift fulfills her dream: Rights on first six albums back!

Sachsen, Deutschland - US singer Taylor Swift has recovered the rights to her first six albums, an important step that was made public on May 30, 2025. On her website, Swift expressed that "all the music I've ever made ... heard me". This recapture is the realization of her greatest dream for the musician, even if the purchase price has not been announced. In the past, Swift had already expressed their disappointment about the loss of this right.

In 2019, the holding of Swift's former music manager Scooter Braun, Ithaca Holdings, acquired the record label Big Machine, which included Swift's early albums. The purchase price for Big Machine was more than $ 300 million, and Swift was informed about the acquisition without consultation or approval, which she described as the "worst scenario". The expression of her dissatisfaction was the decision to re -record her albums in order to ultimately regain ownership of her music.

emotional return

In an emotional explanation on her website, Swift stated that she has been crying for joy since the news about recruitment. In addition to the master's shots, all music videos, concert films, album cover, photographs and unpublished songs belong to her. She thanked Shamrock Capital, which Braun’s master recordings acquired, for the honest and respectful treatment during the business. Swift has already completely reorganized her debut album and is satisfied with the result. However, it has difficulties to imitate the specific phase of life that the album "Reputation" represents, which is why it has recovered less than a quarter of them.

swift emphasized that she always wanted the opportunity to buy her music without conditions and with full autonomy. Her experiences have suggested the discussions about the possession of master's shots in the music industry. The purchase is not only a personal success for the artist, but it is also in the context of a larger trend in the industry that focuses on the rights of artists.

right to music works

In the context of this discussion, the Copyright Act (URG), which protects works of literature and art, is important. It also regulates related property rights from artists, music producers and transmission companies. Musical works are automatically protected, and authors have the rights to their compositions and lyrics. The approval of the author is required for the publication or distribution of a work. The Suisa, a recycling company, plays a crucial role in the administration and the protection of these rights in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

With her latest step, Taylor Swift not only celebrated a personal triumph, but also set an important signal for the rights of artists in the music industry. Your recruitment of musical rights shows how valuable the property of creative works is and how strongly musicians are committed to their rights. The purchase has initiated broader discussions about copyrights and fairness in the music industry and will continue to attract attention.

We are excited to see how the developments in Swift's career and the music industry will be.
