Singer Taylor Swift has some good news to share, and Travis Kelce is right there to help her enjoy every moment of it!
The "Cruel Summer" singer revealed on Friday, May 30, that she had finally bought back the rights to her music catalog after Scooter Braun picked up her masters in 2019. After several years, Swift revealed that Shamrock Capital had finally agreed to give her back the rights to her music with "no strings attached."
Over five million people liked Taylor Swift's announcement within three hours of her post, and the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end was one of them, once again showing his support for his girlfriend. Comments were disabled on the post, but fans were quick to celebrate on social media platforms like X, the website formerly known as Twitter, and Reddit.
'You belong with me,' she wrote in the caption along with heart emojis of various colors. Photos showed Swift sitting on the floor, dressed in a blue shirt and jeans, with her albums spread around her to celebrate the fact that her music is, once again, hers.
Following her announcement, Swift's first name, 'taylor,' started trending online along with 'Rep TV' and '1989 TV.' One of her songs, 'Better Than Revenge,' was also trending, along with 'Debut TV' and 'Swiftie.'
Although 'Fearless (Taylor's Version),' 'Red (Taylor's Version),' "Speak Now (Taylor's Version),' and '1989 (Taylor's Version),' have already been released, fans are concerned that she might never release 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' after a shocking revelation she made in her lengthy letter.
In her lengthy letter, the 'Love Story' singer revealed that although she has completed re-recording her debut album, the same can't be said for 'Reputation (Taylor's Version),' which would be the last album to be released.
'Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it. The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to remake it,' she revealed. 'All that defiance, that longing, to be understood while feeling purposely misunderstood, that desperate hope, that shame-born snarl and mischief.'
'To be perfectly honest, it's the one album in those first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it,' she continued. 'Not the music, or photos, or videos. So I kept putting it off. There will be a time (if you're into the idea) for the unreleased Vault tracks from that album to watch.'
However, there is good news for fans who are looking forward to the release of her debut album, as she revealed that it is already finished. Although she admitted that she loves how it sounds, she did not hint at a release date for the new music.
'I've already completely re-recorded my entire debut album, and I really love how it sounds now,' she wrote. 'Those 2 albums can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about.'
'But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have,' she added. 'It will just be a celebration now.'
Although Scooter Braun told The Hollywood Reporter that he is 'happy for her,' he had no part to play in this recent development, despite recent reports. One insider told PEOPLE magazine on Friday that he did not 'encourage' the sale in any way.
'Contrary to a previous false report, there was no outside party who 'encouraged' this sale. All rightful credit for this opportunity should go to the partners at Shamrock Capital and Taylor's Nashville-based management team only,' the insider shared. 'Taylor now owns all of her music, and this moment finally happened in spite of Scooter Braun, not because of him.'
Instead, the "Karma" singer clearly thanked Shamrock Capital for giving her the opportunity to own her music once more in her letter. 'All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy,' she wrote. 'I will be forever grateful to everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me.'
She went on to say, 'This was a business deal to them, but I really felt like they saw it for what it was to me: my memory and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams. I am endlessly thankful."
