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. Taylor Swift now has 4 albums in the Top 10 of the US iTunes Album Chart:#1 — reputation#2 — Taylor Swift#8 — Speak Now#9 — 1989 (Deluxe Edition) — Pop Base (@PopBase) May 31, 2025 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.

Federal government to close Peachtree Summit building, moves forward with sale plan
A federal report on the various properties owned by the government said closing down a building in Atlanta would save taxpayers more than $700 million. The government is now moving forward with plans to sell Peachtree Summit Federal Building, and 10 others. The Public Building Reform Board released a report on May 22 recommending to close the Peachtree Summit Federal Building, saying it wasn't being used enough and would cost too much to modernize it. The Atlanta federal building was among 11 sites to be consolidated or closed, according to the PBRB report.

Taylor Swift's rights drama explained: What happened and why it matters
"You belong with me." The caption on Taylor Swift's Instagram post the morning of May 30 may have seemed like a simple reference to the hit song off of her second album, the Grammy-dominating Fearless, but to anyone familiar with the artist's love of double meaning and the complicated legal saga that has played out over the last six years, it was anything but. More from GoldDerby Directors open up about identity, risk and emotional storytelling at Disney's FYC fest 'M*A*S*H' star Loretta Swit dies at 87, and more of today's top stories 'Maybe Happy Ending' star Darren Criss on his Tony nomination for playing a robot: 'Getting to do this is the true win' The post directed fans to a letter on Swift's official site, which revealed that the rights to her back catalog, spanning from her 2006 self-titled debut to 2017's Reputation, were finally in her possession. The announcement was major news within the music world, which speaks to Swift's status within the industry — that the resolution of a rights dispute could own a news cycle. But for fans of the singer and for Swift herself, the end of the battle for her musical past represents the grand righting of a wrong that involved some of the most important songs of the last two decades. The drama began in June 2013, when Scooter Braun — the former manager behind acts like Justin Bieber and (importantly) Kanye West — acquired Big Machine Label Group, the company that had produced Swift's first six albums, and the rights to the recordings. Ownership of her masters had become of particular interest to Swift, who had secured the rights to her future recordings when she signed with Universal Music Group after her contract with Big Machine came to a close with Reputation. Swift argued that before Braun's company snapped up the rights, she had not been given an opportunity to buy the recordings herself, which is what allowed them to land in the hands of someone she viewed as having personally harmed her with his involvement in her very public issues with both Kayne West and Kim Kardashian. 'Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it,' Swift wrote at the time. 'Now Scooter has stripped me of my life's work, that I wasn't given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.' Swift's plan to take back control of her music emerged over the next few months. She announced plans to painstakingly rerecord her entire back catalog, which would essentially drain the Braun-owned masters of much of their value. Essentially, fans looking to buy copies of her music would have a choice between a version that was artist approved and one that wasn't. Anyone looking to license the music would similarly be forced to use what would come to be known as "Taylor's Version," as Swift still held onto required approval for usage due to publishing rights. The first of Swift's Taylor's Versions, Fearless, hit shelves in April 2021 and became an instant sensation thanks to the narrative behind the release and the bevy of bonus material included, namely unreleased songs from the era. New recordings of Red, Speak Now, and, 1989 followed and received similar receptions. But by the time that Fearless (Taylor's Version) was ready, the rights to Swift's back catalog had already changed hands. About a year and a half after Braun's Ithaca Holdings bought the masters, the company sold them to Shamrock Capital, again without properly giving Swift an opportunity to buy them herself, according to the singer. And with Shamrock Capital the catalog remained until rumors began to crop up last week that a deal could be approaching that would see Swift take control. That reporting was then confirmed by Swift herself with the social post and lengthy letter expressing gratitude to Shamrock and the relief of having her career history finally under her control. "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 Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me. The way they've handled every interaction we've had has been honest, fair, and respectful. This was a business deal to them, but I really felt like they saw it for what it as to me: My memories and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams. I am endlessly thankful. My first tattoo might just be a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead." "Happy for her,' Braun said in an oh-so-brief statement to The Hollywood Reporter as word of Swift's coup surfaced. The letter from Swift also clarified what is to become of the rest of the Taylor's Version project now that there isn't an explicit need for two as-yet-unreleased re-records. She revealed that she has completed remaking her debut album and is happy with how the new version sounds, but Reputation (Taylor's Version) is far from finished and may not ever be completed. "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," Swift wrote. "All that defiance, that longing to be understood while feeling purposefully 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 did, however, express interest in releasing vault material from Reputation if there's enthusiasm from her fans, which has honestly never been in short supply.
