Which albums does T Swift own?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Taylor Swift has produced hundreds of songs over the course of her career, but which albums does Taylor Swift own in her discography? One of the preeminent pop stars of the modern era, Swift is a cultural icon for her songwriting, acting, and musical versatility. Swift’s Eras Tour initially concluded its U.S. leg in August 2023, though more dates were added, and the popstar will tour worldwide until November 2024.
The title "Eras" comes from the idea behind the concert, a tour through all the eras of Swift’s music. During the tour, she rereleased "Eyes Open", "Safe & Sound", a re-recording of "If This Was a Movie", and a previously unreleased outtake "All of the Girls You Loved Before". Along with these songs, Swift also released her third re-recorded album, Speak Now , and announced the re-recorded version of 1989 , set for October 2023.
Swift is one of only four artists to win three or more Album of the Year Awards at the Grammys, winning for Fearless, 1989 , and folklore . All together, Swift has been nominated for over 1000 awards, winning over 500 of those nominations including 40 American Music Awards, the most by any artist.
Taylor Swift's Masters Controversy Explained The reason Taylor Swift is re-recording her albums is because of a controversy stemming from her first record label, Big Machine Records. After Swift’s record deal with Big Machine expired, she signed on with Republic Records, but Big Machine still owned all the rights to the back catalog of her masters, essentially her life’s work. When Swift attempted to purchase back her catalog, she was stonewalled.
Swift also accused Scott Borchetta, the CEO of Big Machine Records, of selling her work out from under her without ever giving her the chance to purchase her own catalog, according to Cosmopolitan. Borchetta and Swift traded barbs on social media, accusing the other of not being genuine and of owing money to the other party.
