Taylor Swift Might Get Her First Tattoo Ever After Masters Buy Back

Yahoo4 days ago

It's a time full of celebrations for after officially purchasing her masters, and she might even get a tattoo to mark the huge moment. The singer recently announced that her 'entire life's work' — the music and content she has released over her decades-long career — now belongs to her. Swift couldn't have been more elated as she penned a touching letter to share the big news. She even joked about dedicating her first tattoo to this milestone.
Taylor Swift officially has the rights to all her life's work after purchasing the master recordings. The 35-year-old pop star wrote a heart-touching letter, which was shared on her website, to celebrate her 'greatest dream' coming true, and even hinted she might get her first tattoo after all. An emotional Swift heartfeltly penned, 'I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals even since I found out that this is really happening.' The 'Love Story' hitmaker then announced, 'All of the music I've ever made… now belongs… to me.'
Swift continued to thank her fans for supporting her through this journey, as she also reflected on re-recording four of her albums, calling them 'Taylor's Version.' Further in the lengthy letter, she also expressed her gratitude to 'everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this' to her. While giving them a shoutout, Swift noted that 'every interaction' they had was 'honest, fair, and respectful.'
Although it was a 'business deal' for Shamrock Capital, Swift continued, 'I really felt like they saw it for what it was for me: My memories and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams.' The musician gushed that she's 'endlessly thankful.' This is when Swift joked, 'My first tattoo might just be a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead.' The 'Blank Space' singer then continued to express her joy and even shared some insight on the 'Taylor's Version' of her 'Reputation' album, revealing that she hasn't 're-recorded a quarter of it.'
Shamrock got the rights to Taylor Swift's masters from Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings in November 2020. Years later, the pop star finally owns her 'entire life's work.'

Taylor Swift Turns Heads With Fan Interaction During Travis Kelce Date Night

Taylor Swift Turns Heads With Fan Interaction During Travis Kelce Date Night originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After a few months of staying hidden, pop star Taylor Swift and boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, ended their public hiatus together and hit the town in Palm Beach, Florida, for a date night last week. The couple was seen out on the town in Palm Beach again just a few days ago, this time at upscale café Buccan, and there Swift had an eyebrow-raising interaction with one of her fans. In an exclusive interview with Page Six, noted Swiftie Pamela Goodman revealed that she was also at the restaurant and actually spoke to the 'Love Story' singer, who was seated right next to her with her bodyguard also sitting close by. Goodman revealed that Buccan's owner approached her and her friend to make sure they didn't make any sort of scene sitting next to high-profile couple. But that didn't stop Goodman from taking the opportunity to speak with one of her heroes. 'I stood up and said, 'Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt, but I'm probably one of your oldest and biggest Swifties on the planet' and she laughed,' Goodman stated. 'I said, 'I just had to stop and congratulate you on the re-ownership of your masters. I'm so, so happy for you. Congratulations.'' Swift replied: 'I noticed you. You are so beautiful. Thank you so much,' before shaking hands. Fans took to social media to react to Swift's heartfelt interaction with one of her biggest fans, many of whom applauded Goodman for not only having the nerve to approach the biggest pop star on the planet but also sharing the story with a new outlet given all the negative publicity Swift has had in recent months. 'Need to queen out with miss Pamela so bad,' one fan wrote. 'Pamela spoke to Page Six and she continues to be one of the sweetest Senior Swifties! This article is so cute 🥰' another added. 'Total respect for Pamela,' a third fan noted. 'Pamela is a queen....' one user replied. 'I want to be Pam when I grow up,' remarked another user. 'Miss Pamela we love you queen,' another fan commented. Goodman admitted she also had to let Kelce know she had been a Chiefs fans for many years and was rooting for him to win his fourth Super Bowl championship. 'I lived in Kansas City for seven years before you were even born but I'm a longtime Chiefs fan and I just wish you the best success in the season this year,' Goodman recalled of what she told Kelce. 'You're going to go back and I just know you're going to do it and I can't wait to watch it happen.'This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Apple, X, and Airbnb among growing number of Big Tech firms exploring crypto adoption

The crypto industry has long sought a 'killer app' to bring blockchains into the financial mainstream and, in stablecoins, it may have found one. Banks and fintechs are rapidly adopting stablecoins—digital tokens pegged to the value of the dollar—and now Big Tech firms are poised to do the same. According to sources familiar with the matter, Apple, X, Airbnb, and Google are all holding early conversations with crypto firms about integrating stablecoins. The sources, who spoke with Fortune on the condition of anonymity to discuss private business conversations, said the firms view adoption of the crypto assets as a means to lower transaction costs and optimize cross-border payments. Apple, X, Airbnb, and Google are not the only Big Tech names exploring stablecoins. Others include Meta, which is once again leaning into the payment technology after abandoning an ambitious earlier push that failed in the face of regulatory backlash. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said the rideshare company is in the 'study' phase of using stablecoins for global money transfers at a Bloomberg conference on Thursday. The interest from Big Tech comes as stablecoins have attracted millions in venture funding and lawmaker attention as Congress weighs two bills that would regulate the asset class. And it follows a landmark acquisition from the payments giant Stripe of the stablecoin startup Bridge, which was a starting gun for many in Silicon Valley to take the technology seriously. '[Stablecoins] are this old idea, but finally I think we've got the right pieces coming together such that it's really coming into fruition,' said Haun Ventures partner Chris Ahn, who was an early investor in Bridge. X and Apple did not respond to requests for comment. 'It's pretty clear that this is probably one of the biggest upgrades to payments since the SWIFT network,' Rich Widmann, head of Web3 strategy at Google Cloud, told Fortune. He confirmed that the tech giant was exploring stablecoin integrations. 'While crypto payments aren't something we're focused on integrating into the platform in the near future, we're always looking at all aspects of payments for ways to improve our community's experience with it, including developments in digital assets and their use cases,' said an Airbnb spokesperson. While Big Tech has long been at the forefront of payments innovation, Silicon Valley has been hesitant to move into crypto due to the regulatory crackdown under the Biden administration. That changed with the re-election of Donald Trump, whose administration has embraced blockchain and instructed agencies to loosen oversight of the crypto industry. In the case of Airbnb, the short-term home rental platform has been in talks with crypto companies about potentially integrating stablecoins since the beginning of this year, according to four sources familiar with the matter. Accepting stablecoins as a form of payment would allow Airbnb to cut back on the transaction fees it pays processors like Visa and Mastercard, according to one crypto company executive. The vacation rental company has been talking with one of its payment processors, Worldpay, about using stablecoins, according to another crypto company executive. Worldpay announced last week that it would enable stablecoin payouts with its partner, the stablecoin infrastructure company BNVK. A Worldpay spokesperson told Fortune that the company 'does not comment on our clients.' Elon Musk's social media platform X has also recently been in touch with crypto companies about integrating stablecoins into its fledgling payments app called X Money, according to three sources. Musk, a former executive at the fintech giant PayPal, has long expressed ambitions about creating an 'everything app,' which would potentially include Venmo-like options for users to facilitate peer-to-peer payments. In January, X announced a partnership with Visa to create a digital wallet. X is currently in talks with payments processor Stripe to potentially integrate stablecoin payments, according to one source familiar with the matter. A spokesperson for Stripe declined to comment. Patrick Traughber, former head of consumer products and payments, led the discussions but left in January to work on the Sam Altman-backed crypto project World, according to two sources. Payam Abedi, a senior software engineer at X, is now leading the conversations, according to two sources. His public LinkedIn profile lists his title as 'Money at X.' Abedi declined to comment, and Traughber did not respond to requests for comment. Apple, which already has a massive presence in the payments ecosystem thanks to its Apple Pay system, has been in talks with crypto companies since January about integrating stablecoins into its payments infrastructure, according to four sources. One of these people told Fortune that these talks have included conversations with Matt Cavin, a senior director at stablecoin issuer Circle, whose public LinkedIn profile lists his job description at Circle as 'strategic partnerships in stablecoin payments.' Circle did not respond to a request for comment. While these three companies are in early conversations, Google Cloud is arguably the furthest along on stablecoin integrations. The tech giant has already accepted payments from two of its customers in PYUSD, PayPal's stablecoin launched in partnership with the stablecoin infrastructure company Paxos. 'We've invoiced the customer like we would normally invoice them. They've paid that bill the way they would normally pay it. But they've used stablecoins to effectuate settlement,' Widmann, the Google Cloud executive, told Fortune. Although Widmann declined to say whether other divisions within Google were exploring stablecoins, he did say that the stablecoin payments went through Google's central accounting office. 'There isn't a separate offshoot for stablecoin payments within Cloud,' he said. One crypto executive involved in the Big Tech discussions told Fortune that one major roadblock for companies will be deciding which stablecoins to integrate. Tether, which issues the leading U.S.-dollar-backed stablecoin, has had longstanding concerns over its approach to compliance, and its main competitor, USDC, faces an uncertain future ownership as its parent company, Circle, just went through the initial public offering process. Other options, such as PayPal's PYUSD face low adoption. The executive said that some Big Tech companies might consider launching their own stablecoin, though Democratic lawmakers have sought to limit this option. Though discussions for companies like Airbnb and X remain preliminary, Haun Ventures' Ahn said that the shifting environment toward crypto is making stablecoins increasingly attractive to Big Tech. 'Because they are bigger companies, they want to know that there is legitimacy here,' he told Fortune. 'That credibility is being provided, not just from the regulatory aspects of it, but they actually see fintech leaders like Stripe leaning into this and they think, 'I can trust this as well.''
