Back in 2019, it was revealed that Taylor Swift's master recordings and the rights of her first six albums were sold to music executive Scooter Braun because he bought her former label, Big Machine Records. This meant all of her work was now owned by someone she said had bullied her for years.

Taylor Swift announced on Friday, May 30, that she has bought back her music catalog, giving her control of her first six albums, six years after her drama with Scooter Braun and former label Big Machine.
