Taylor Swift ended the week with a happy heart, as the pop sensation received another wave of good news. This time, her fans played a huge role.
Following her bombshell announcement about reclaiming ownership of her master recordings, the 'Cruel Summer' hitmaker's 2017 album saw a huge surge in popularity.
On Friday, Swift's sixth studio album, "Reputation," climbed to the No. 1 spot on the US iTunes chart.
The album, which references her romantic relationships and celebrity fallout, features hit tracks like '...Ready for It?,' 'Look What You Made Me Do,' 'Getaway Car' and more.
Besides "Reputation," the reissue of her self-titled debut album Taylor Swift (Bonus Track Version) jumped to fourth place, next to Morgan Wallen's "I'm The Problem" and Miley Cyrus' "Something Beautiful."
With this, Swifties around the world celebrated the award-winning singer's success, which shows the power from her loyal fanbase.
'Reputation rising again proves her impact is unmatched,' one wrote.
'Owning her masters and topping charts? Icon behavior,' a commenter added.
Fans also mentioned how the 35-year-old pop star deserved it.
'Karma is the girl with her masters back,' a third user said.
The same goes for another commenter who remarked, 'AND NOW SHE GETS THE MONEY HAHAAAAAAAA LOVE IT."
As mentioned, the chart surge came after the singer-songwriter officially bought back the rights to her master recordings, which means that she now controls the six albums that made her a global icon.
In an official announcement released on her website, the 'Bad Blood' singer admitted that she almost gave up on the long and painful journey.
'All the times I was this close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through,' Swift wrote, adding 'I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away.'
Yet through it all, she remained grateful, especially for those who stood by her.
'All of the music I've ever made… now belongs to me,' Swift stated with pride. 'All of my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work.'
Swift's masters were sold in 2019 to Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings and were acquired by Shamrock Capital in 2020.
Meanwhile, celebrities and sports figures showed their support for the 'Blank Space' singer including her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, as well as fellow artists Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, Tate McRae, Nicki Minaj and story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 31, 2025, where it first appeared.
