Grammy winner and country singer Taylor Swift unveiled “Red (Taylor’s Version),” a re-recording of her acclaimed fourth studio album “Red,” as part of her ongoing mission to regain ownership of her early music.
Taylor Swift has been hard at work re-recording her first six albums after ownership of their masters was transferred to her former manager Scooter Bran, and guessing from the reactions on social media, revisiting the past isn’t always a bad idea.
Scooter Braun acquired the master recordings of Swift’s first six albums in 2019, despite her objections. Swift shared on social media in November last year that the masters have since been sold to Shamrock Holdings.
Swift thanked her fans for inspiring her to reclaim her work, “It never would have been possible to go back & remake my previous work, uncovering lost art & forgotten gems along the way if you hadn’t emboldened me. Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours. Now we begin again.”
