With a release date of July 7<sup>th<\/sup>, fans won\u2019t have to wait long to hear the new take on beloved songs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">While there is a growing excitement for Swift\u2019s re-recordings, you may be asking yourself, why? Swift\u2019s oldest album is not even twenty years old yet. It may seem like it\u2019s too early for her to be re-releasing her music. The reasoning behind it all involves a bad record deal and an issue far too many artists face: the ownership of their masters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part I: Fifteen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In 2005, Taylor Swift was a fifteen-year-old girl with a dream of making it big. She was approached by Scott Borchetta, the then owner of Big Machine Records. He offered her a thirteen-year record deal. As part of this deal, Swift would receive a cash advance for each album she produced. In return, Big Machine would own her masters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">A Master, in music, is the original sound recording of a song. When you listen to a song on the radio or stream on your phone, you are typically listening to the master recording. The person getting paid for each play is the owner of the master.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Not knowing much about the industry at the time, Swift signed the deal. Under Big Machine she released six albums: <em>Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989<\/em>, and <em>Reputation<\/em>. These albums would go on to be commercial and critical successes, building Swift into the international superstar that she is today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It\u2019s important to note that, while Swift didn\u2019t own her masters, she did retain publishing rights for her music. Publishing rights are the rights to the composition of a song, this includes the lyrics and the musical composition itself. Since Swift writes her own music, she was entitled to the publishing rights of all of the music she had released.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traklife.com\/madison-mahady\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/05\/ScooterBraunTaylorSwift.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32820\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part II: The Man<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In 2018, Swift\u2019s contract was expiring with Big Machine Records. At this point, Swift was a seasoned vet in the music industry. She knew that her current contract with Big Machine Records wasn\u2019t ideal for renewal, so she signed with Republic Records. Knowing the worth that a master can have for an artist, Swift made sure in her new contract that she would own all of her future masters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">June 2019 brought about a big change for Big Machine Records. Less than a year after Swift left BMG, it was announced that Scooter Braun had purchased the label. If you\u2019re thinking that name sounds familiar, you may know him as the manager for artists such as Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande. His roster of successful artists is wide ranging, even including Ye at one point, back when he was still going by Kanye West.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The announcement of Braun\u2019s acquisition of Big Machine was a surprise to many, including Swift. She knew Borchetta had planned on selling Big Machine, but she was unaware that Braun was a potential buyer. As part of this deal, Braun was now the owner of Swift\u2019s masters, and she was not happy about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">When the news broke, Swift did what many people do when faced with bad news, she turned to social media to vent. On her Tumblr she posted a statement about how she felt about the situation (<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswift.tumblr.com\/post\/185958366550\/for-years-i-asked-pleaded-for-a-chance-to-own-my\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here to read the post<\/a> ). In her post, she gave more insight on the deal Borchetta offered her to regain ownership of her masters. She was not offered the ability to buy her masters outright. Instead, she would have to &#8216;earn&#8217; them. For each album she released under this new contract, she would regain ownership for one album&#8217;s masters, essentially requiring her to produce at least six more album under Big Machine if she wanted to own the masters. Knowing that Borchetta was about to sell Big Machine made the decision that less favorable for Swift, as her musical future would have been put in the hands of whoever bought the company. Along with detailing the deal she was offered, Swift also noted in her post the&nbsp;disappointment she felt over Braun\u2019s ownership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part III: Look What You Made Me Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">For years Taylor Swift has had public disagreements with the artist formerly known as Kanye West. In 2008, he interrupted her VMA accepted speech, sparking years of internet virality and debate. In 2016, West referenced the incident in his song \u2018Famous\u2019. The references to Swift in both the song and in the music video upset Swift, and she was openly vocal about not giving her approval of the references. At the time, a snippet of a phone call was released supposedly showing Swift\u2019s approval of the lyric. In 2020 it was revealed that Kanye did not tell the full lyrics to Swift and she, in fact, did not approve the lyrics being used. That being said, this was four years after she faced online harassment for rebutting the legitimacy of the call that was released.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Around the time that Swift was being accused on approving the lyric, Braun had taken on representing Kanye. According to Swift\u2019s Tumblr post, she noted that Braun had two of his other clients bully Swift about the situation online. She wrote that whenever she spoke to Borchetta about Braun, it was never in a positive manner. Swift was hurt that Borchetta would sell his company, and all of her released work at that point, to a man who did not respect her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Aside from the personal disputes that Swift had with Braun and Borchetta, Swift had alleged that Big Machine blocked her from using her music. In 2019, Swift was chosen as&nbsp;Artist of the Decade at the American Music Awards. She had planned to do a medley of her songs but posted a statement that Braun and Borchetta were refusing to let her do so. (<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswift.tumblr.com\/post\/189068976205\/dont-know-what-else-to-do\">Click here to read the post.<\/a>) They claimed that her performance would be her re-recording the songs, which she was not allowed to do until at least 2021. She also stated that they were pushing back on the use of her music in her upcoming 2020 documentary,&nbsp;<em>Miss Americana<\/em>. They must have come to some agreement, as Swift performed a medley of \u2018I Knew You Were Trouble\u2019, \u2018Love Story\u2019, and \u2018Shake It Off\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">To add insult to injury, Big Machine released&nbsp;<em>Live From Clear Channel Stripped 2008<\/em>. The album was released in 2020, twelve years after it\u2019s recording. According to Swift, she did not approve the release of the album, once again noting the disregard Big Machine has for her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-ratio-16-9 whatever-embed-responsive\"><span class=\"c8wFzu8g9EQQCCZNuzX9aYiKDR41IJm7hpIjPfrD5BTlVljWNrmHGi6dodvXSt3qc06RbALUGMbVBfywJxpsLev521x\"><iframe title=\"MISS AMERICANA | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q07_k5VKuaQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Trailer for Swift&#8217;s 202 Documentary: <em>Miss Americana<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part IV: Long Story Short<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Swift has been vocal that she plans on re-releasing all six of her past albums, keeping full ownership of her new masters. Her current two re-releases have been commercial and critical successes, breaking multiple records for streaming and sales. Thanks to the success of her re-releases, Swift was the global best-selling soloist, and highest earning musician, of 2021.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Her re-releases, while similar to the originals, each bring something new to the music. On&nbsp;<em>Red,&nbsp;<\/em>the original version of&nbsp;<em>All Two Well&nbsp;<\/em>is around five and a half minutes. This song received a revamp for the re-release, becoming&nbsp;<em>All Too Well (10 Minute Version).&nbsp;<\/em>It is the most streamed songs on&nbsp;<em>Red (Taylors Version)<\/em>. Swift is both bringing out songs from her \u2018vault\u2019 and reinventing beloved classics, making this re-release more than just a copy and paste of something she\u2019s already done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">As for Scooter Braun and Big Machine? They no longer own Swift&#8217;s masters. In 2020, Braun sold the masters to Disney\u2019s investment firm Shamrock Holdings, on condition that he will still be able to profit from them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">There are many rumors about what is true and what is speculation in the Swift vs. Big Machine saga. Regardless, the conversation this feud has sparked has spread far past the pop music space. Questions surrounding intellectual property and music ethics have had renewed interest. Many young artists are becoming more aware of the rights that they can, and should, fight for when it comes to their music rights. The impact of these conversations have already started to be seen, and who knows the effect it could have in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 2021, Taylor Swift has been re-releasing her first six studio albums.
