Taylor Swift Reveals She Isn't Releasing 'Reputation (Her Version)'—Because She Bought Her Masters Back

There isn't going to be a Reputation (Taylor's Version). There will be a meaningful, heartfelt explanation from Taylor Swift herself.

After returning to New York City on Thursday, May 29, the Grammy-winner shared an open letter with fans on Friday, May 30, revealing that she had successfully purchased her masters. The deal includes the original recordings for her first six albums—Taylor Swift (2006), Fearless (2008), Speak Now (2010), Red (2012), 1989 (2014), and Reputation (2017)—as well as the accompanying music videos and imagery. Swift did not disclose the financial terms of the deal, though sources told Billboard it amounted to a nearly $360 million purchase brokered with Shamrock Capital, the second owner of her masters.
