“All I’ve ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy,” Swift wrote in her letter.

Swift thanked her fans for their encouragement and Shamrock Capital for being the first to offer this deal to her. She also wrote about her re-recorded music.

“To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it,” Swift wrote. “To my fans, you know how important this has been to me - so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released 4 of my albums, calling them Taylor’s Version.”

Swift began re-recording her albums after her former label Big Machine Records sold her original recordings to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings in 2019. She released her first re-recorded album “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” in 2021, followed by the release of “Red (Taylor’s Version),” “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”

Along with ownership of all of her original music, the artist now also owns her music videos, concert films, album art and photography, and unreleased songs, according to Swift’s letter.

While it is unclear the amount Swift paid, Billboard reports that sources told them Shamrock sold the music for a similar price to what they paid for it which was $360 million.
