Taylor Swift dominated streaming charts (again) after buying her music back
Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift announced Friday that she was able to purchase back her entire catalog of music from Shamrock Capital, ending a years-long saga. The 14-time Grammy winner had been in the midst of re-recording her first six albums after they had been purchased by Big Machine Records and music manager Scooter Braun back in 2019. Braun would go on to sell them to Shamrock Capital in 2020.
Swift had already recorded Fearless (Taylor's Version), Speak Now (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version) and 1989 (Taylor's Version), with just Reputation and her debut album Taylor Swift waiting for the re-record treatment.
After Taylor's Version was released for each album, Swifties would generally refer to the originals as the "stolen versions" and wouldn't stream or purchase them.
With the originals no longer "stolen," Swift's albums made a huge jump into the top 10 on Apple Music and Spotify following the announcement. According to various reports from Forbes, chart following sites like Pop Vortex and online accounts like Pop Base, Reputation and Taylor Swift have taken over the top two spots on Apple Music's Top 100 Albums list.

All of Swift's catalog seemingly got a boost from Friday's news, with all 15 studio albums reportedly in the top-100 at one time.
Swift was the first to be able to unseat the wildly popular country artist Morgan Wallen and his new album, I'm the Problem, from the top spot. Miley Cyrus has rounded out the top-5 with her new release Something Beautiful.

Why Travis Kelce Skipped Taylor Swift's New York City Weekend Celebration of Her Major Music News
Taylor Swift was in New York City this past weekend, celebrating the momentous news that she now owns all of her music, after buying the masters for her first six albums from Shamrock Capital. She spent Friday night with Jack Antonoff, then had dinner with Selena Gomez at Monkey Bar on Saturday. So why wasn't Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, part of the festivities—especially since he's currently in his offseason? Turns out, he had a work commitment for a good cause. Kelce attended the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend benefit in Kansas City, Missouri, with his brother, Jason Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end participated in the event last year as well. He showed his support for Swift's big news on Friday when he liked her announcement post. Swift and Kelce are in a good place as they approach their two-year anniversary. The couple was seen together during Memorial Day weekend, enjoying a dinner date in West Palm Beach, Florida. On May 27, a source close to Kelce told People that 'Travis still seems very happy with Taylor.' The insider noted that Swift had been staying in Miami, where Kelce was training for his upcoming NFL season, 'to support and spend time' with her partner. Kelce was on Swift's mind this Saturday, too. The singer wore a sartorial tribute to him while out with Gomez: a 'TNT' diamond tennis bracelet from Wove x Michelle Wie West. E! noted that Kelce had given her the piece as a gift. Swift hasn't made any effort to hide her affection for Kelce during their relationship—in fact, she's been openly supportive and enthusiastic throughout their time together. In a December 2023 interview with Time, Swift explained the reason why: 'When you say a relationship is public, that means I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care. The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone. And we're just proud of each other.'

Taylor Swift Turns Heads in New Photos and Fans Are Coming to Her Defense originally appeared on Parade. Taylor Swift stepped out with longtime BFF Selena Gomez in New York City on May 31 and photos of the outing have been posted online by DeuxMoi. The comments section of the Instagram post quickly filled up with comments from people wondering if Swift is pregnant with her first child as the "Bad Blood" singer's outfit was called into question. However, fans of Swift quickly came to her defense, slamming those who questioned whether or not the 35-year-old is expecting."Hey so speculating if someone is pregnant can be incredibly triggering for a lot of people due to for example infertility issues and eating disorders so can we please NOT," one person wrote. "If Taylor was pregnant she wouldn't be going out publicly like this if she hadn't announced it so no I don't think she's pregnant lol. Calm down," someone else said. "Here's an idea guys… she's not currently burning 5k calories during her 3+ hour show every night and she's living her life like a normal woman. She's healthy and has a NORMAL body. You guys need to go rewatch Miss Americana and cut it out," a third comment read. "Everyone saying: is she pregnant? Haven't you ever have your period maybe? Eat your dinner???" a fourth Instagram user added. Swift pregnancy rumors creep up on the internet from time to time, and have become more regular since she started dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce. In the past, Swift has talked about wanting children, but she's been focused on her career. "I want a bunch of [children] running around, minimum four. I want to wait a while, but the idea of pouring everything you are into another person when you become a parent has always been amazing to me," she told Marie Claire in 2012 (via CapitalFM). Taylor Swift Turns Heads in New Photos and Fans Are Coming to Her Defense first appeared on Parade on Jun 1, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 1, 2025, where it first appeared.
