Swift said on Friday she purchased her masters back from Shamrock Capital, an investment firm that purchased her catalog from Braun in 2020, though Swift did not say how much she acquired her music for. The master recording dispute prompted Swift to embark on a years-long re-recording project, and she has so far re-released four of her first six albums, each subtitled “Taylor’s Version” with new songs. Swift said on her website she now owns her “entire life’s work,” including all of her music videos, concert films, unreleased songs and album art, calling it her “greatest dream come true.” “I am happy for her,” Braun told Forbes in a statement. What About “reputation (taylor’s Version)?” Swift said on her website Friday she may still release the two still-unreleased re-recorded albums left in her catalog—“Reputation” and “Taylor Swift.” Swift said she has fully re-recorded her self-titled debut album but has not yet re-recorded even a quarter of “Reputation”…
