Renowned musician Sheryl Crow recently commended Taylor Swift for her remarkable achievements in the music industry. Crow praised Swift for taking control of her own material, highlighting the challenges faced by women in a male-dominated field. Swift's strategic move to reclaim ownership of her music by re-recording her albums, known as 'Taylor's Version,' has garnered widespread acclaim.
Swift's decision to re-record her music stemmed from the acquisition of her masters by Scooter Braun's company in 2019. By re-releasing her albums with expanded tracks, Swift aims to ensure that she retains ownership of her art and its usage in various media platforms. This initiative has not only empowered Swift but also resonated with her fans, who appreciate her dedication to preserving her musical legacy.
Since April 2021, Swift has released several albums under the 'Taylor's Version' project, including 'Fearless,' 'Red,' 'Speak Now,' and '1989.' Each album has achieved significant success, with all four reaching the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. Notably, '1989 (Taylor's Version)' was recognized as the top-selling vinyl album globally in 2023, underscoring Swift's enduring popularity and influence in the music industry.
