Taylor Swift’s successful purchase of her original recordings from Shamrock Capital has brought waves of happiness to her fans and many others. The huge deal, said to be worth $360 million, ends a long legal fight and is a major personal win for the singer. Her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, happily celebrated the news on a recent episode of his podcast, New Heights.
According to Rolling Stone, Swift’s fight to get back ownership of her music started years ago when her first six albums were sold by her old record label, Big Machine, to Scooter Braun’s company, Ithaca Holdings. Swift strongly disagreed with this sale. This led to years of conflict, and Swift decided to re-record her albums as “Taylor’s Version,” which lowered the value of the original recordings.
