Taylor Swift made headlines last month when it emerged that her entire back catalogue had been purchased by Scooter Braun as part of the selling of her former label.
At the time, the Pop force said she was “sad” and “grossed out” by the move, especially as she was allegedly shut out from bidding herself.
The drama has left many wondering what Swift’s next course of action will be, given that it doesn’t look as though there’ll be any change in ownership – despite the public weigh-in.
Well, during promotion for new album ‘Lover’ (due August 23rd), the singer confirmed her plans. And it looks like she’ll be taking heed to calls to re-record her material.
Details below…
Speaking in a soon-to-be-aired interview on CBS Sunday Morning says she discovered the deal “when it was online” and that nobody in her inner circle knew of the Braun purchase.
So what’s her push-back plan?
At one point during the taping, host Tracy Smith asked Swift whether she’ll be re-recording the past songs as a way to regain control of her master recordings.
“Might you do that?” Smith asked.
“Oh yeah,” Swift replied.
“That’s a plan?” Smith re-iterates.
“Yeah, absolutely,” Swift says affirmatively.
The move will see Swift follow in the footsteps of JoJo, who re-recorded her first and second albums in their entirety – after a dispute with her former label kept both projects off streaming services. In taking such action, Jo not only provided her fans access to the albums, she’s now in a position to license her versions for lucrative sync deals. TLC also took similar action with their greatest hits.
Suffice to say, then , it’s a wise move for Swift whose catalogue boasts many a smash.
No one is interested to hear re-recorded Nazi shît from Taydolf Swiftler

If u don’t like comments about Jasmine then don’t come on TGJ! Get lost! I am Queen B Jasmine ? and I have been running things since 2009. I can’t help it these trolls want to be me. I have stated numerous people times these men can’t TRANSform into me get they keep using my username. The name ‘Jasmine’ exclusively belongs to me on ALL gossip sites. This is the only site where gay male trolls continue to use my username which causes ongoing arguments. When they stop using my username then there will be peace.
It wont sound the same like the original, I’m sorry
This is a stupid move. They offered for her to buy her masters and she refused, what did she think? That someone else wouldn’t buy it?
They did not offer her to buy them back. They offered to her one album for every 1 new album she records. So basically dangling a carrot over her head and another way to keep her captive to a contract she wanted out.
I’m convinced you’re just trying to write anything for attention. You cannot be this ridiculous in real life. You sound foolish beyond belief.
Read a book.
My above comment was for CLARKSON, not anyone else to clarify.
It is the only move. You are incorrect. She was blocked rom buying her masters! She is loaded and hungry for them old masters but because she refused to sign a new record deal this was how her label paid her back for making them lose future millions off her
This would be a petty ass boss move. My first reaction was girl please, let it go. But you know what, I don’t blame. Can you imagine writing and recording some of the biggest hits of the last 10yrs and don’t own them?
True, but re-recorded songs never sound the same tho lol…the hunger is usually gone chile! Recording, engineering and mixing is no joke! The setup, the mics she used, the temperature in the room, the time of day, the pitch of the autotune (lol), the background vocalists, the instrumentalists, does she need tea, honey and water lol…CHILE. ?
Her voice has probably change also cause she was younger when she recorded these songs.
@ Fancy you funny and said no lies ?????
I’m screaming loloool. It def wouldn’t sound the same.
Smart move. I still want a return of 1989 and RED Taylor Swift. Sigh. 1989 was pop PERFECTION!
This new music ain’t it, sis.
This! ✅ Chile, this new music is pure dookie ? compared to 1989 and RED…not a single song has kept me interested past the week it came out lol…I’m definitely not buying the album, but hopefully there’s SOMETHING on there to stream from time to time! I don’t even like the cover art lol ?
Agreed 100%
TLC started the trend, per usual lol
Maybe so, but TLC’s re-recordings sound like pure trash compared to the originals ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
lol ?
Girl, you just greedy. Want more money when you already rich asf
How is it greedy? It’s her f****** property.
She is greedy! Don’t pretend like she does not get hefty royalties already off these songs for writing and singing them. Hence, she still owns the songs technically regardless of who owns the masters.
No mayo!
No marmite

B**** looks like Claire Meade from Ugly Betty
In terms of money and control, maybe it’s a good thing for the artist, but JoJo’s re-recordings are a clear example of how time can change a song’s original sound. JoJo’s new recordings are NOT good. I have the original albums and they’re so much better, especially when you consider JoJo’s age at the time. The originals are more valuable the more rare they become.
For this very reason is why I don’t stream. As a consumer I don’t like record companies or whoever getting in their feelings blocking and pulling music from services, screwing over the fans because they want more money.
