Universal Music Group is tightening guidelines.
For, Taylor Swift‘s label has reportedly placed tighter restrictions on re-recordings.
More details below…
According to The Wall Street Journal, UMG has upped its efforts to protect its investments in artists during a time when recording and distributing music has become significantly easier.
Sources have told the publication that the label has revised some of its contracts to extend the amount of time in which an artist is prohibited from re-recording their work.
Susan Genco, board member of artists’ rights group Music Artists Coalition and co-president of the Azoff Company told the publication:
“What Taylor did is a game changer, not just for her fans, but for other artists. She is inspiring artists to re-record their songs and control their music. Taylor is leading by example: Showing fans and artists that it’s possible to take control of their future.”
The new report comes just days after the ‘All Too Well’ singer shared her latest re-recorded album: ‘Red (Taylor’s Version).’ The album is her second re-recorded album and follows ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’ from April of this year.
As of reporting, all of the specifics are not known.

Bums- damnnn Labels
Uh, I feel like this article is missing information.
I second this. What are the new guidelines?
Lol me too. Like where the details? What exactly is the new rule they are tightening up with?
Y’all really gonna let her slide though lol
How tragic, these labels still want to use artists as their workhorses.
That’s why it’s important to know how to do it ALL. That way you can use the bulk of your budget on mixing, advertising, and distribution.
But most of the artists we prop up can hardly sing in key, let alone write and produce a song by themselves…
Why is this article acting like she was the first? She might be the most successful, but re-recordings are not a new thing.
I think that there would be very few artists who would garner this secondary success, or would be bothered.
Say what ya’ll want about taylor, but sis does shake s*** up and stands her ground when she does it!
💯
wrong. JoJo did it first. Fck Taylor Swift.
But JoJo’s flopped
TLC re-recorded their songs in order to own their masters back in 2013, yet Taylor gets credit and recognition for this strategy. 😂 🤦🏾♂️
They re-recorded 4 songs lmaoooooooooo 🤣 and they sounded TRAGIC
They were the worst re-recorded songs ever
