'My greatest dream' - Taylor Swift buys back rights to old music

Pop sensation Taylor Swift, who was locked in a feud with record executives since 2019 over ownership of her music, has bought back the rights to her entire back catalogue, she said last week.

- 

"All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me," she wrote on her website, after years of disputes over her first six albums, a number of which she re-recorded to create copies she owns herself.

"To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it," she wrote in the letter to her devoted followers.

"To my fans, you know how important this has been to me — so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released four of my albums, calling them Taylor's Version."

Those records included the award-winning Reputation and Taylor Swift.

Swift bought back her masters from Shamrock Capital, an LA investment firm, for an undisclosed amount.
