Why is Taylor Swift rerecording her old albums?

Taylor Swift has released 1989 (Taylor’s Version), the fourth album she has rerecorded from her back catalogue due to her feud over her master rights. 

Released on Friday, the new version of her 2014 album contains new versions of all of the original songs - including hits Blank Space, Bad Blood, Shake it Off, and Welcome to New York. Taylor’s Version expands 1989 to 21 songs - eight songs longer than the original, with production from the likes of Jack Antonoff and Ryan Tedder.
