Taylor Swift Drops Major Update About Potential Future Album
Taylor Swift Drops Major Update About Potential Future Album originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Back in 2019, it was revealed that Taylor Swift did not own the master recordings of her first six albums, as they were sold to music executive Scooter Braun when he acquired her former label, Big Machine Records. The "You Belong With Me" singer was just 17 years old when she signed with Big Machine in 2006. Before her contract ended in 2018, she released six albums: her self-titled debut, "Speak Now," "Fearless," "Red," "1989" and "Reputation."
In response, she announced plans to re-record all six albums to reclaim control of her music. From 2021 to 2023, Swift released "Fearless (Taylor's Version)," "Red (Taylor's Version)," "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" and "1989 (Taylor's Version)."
Each "Taylor's Version" album includes re-recorded versions of the original songs, plus "From the Vault" tracks, which are previously unreleased songs that didn't make the original album.
It was announced on Friday morning that Swift now owns all the master recordings of her first six albums, meaning she owns every single album, music video, concert film and the art that comes with it.
"All of the music I've ever made...now belongs to me," the singer wrote in a letter that's published on her website. "Every single era. My entire life's work."
Towards the end of the letter, she also gave updates on the two albums that don't have a "Taylor's Version" yet, her self-titled album and "Reputation," which were released in 2006 and 2017, respectively. She admitted that she hasn't even re-recorded a quarter of "Reputation (Taylor's Version)" because that album was "so specific to that time in [her] life" and she thought she couldn't improve it by re-doing it.
But, she did give an update on the status of her first album, titled "Taylor Swift."
"I've already completely re-recorded my entire debut album, and I really love how it sounds now. 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," she wrote. "But if it happens, it wouldn't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It would just be a celebration now."
It's only a matter of time before "Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)" joins the rest of her discography. With her debut album re-recorded, it feels like things have come full circle, not out of longing for the past, but as a powerful reminder of her growth as an artist.This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.
