Brittany Mahomes continues to show her support for Taylor Swift's personal wins Taylor Swift has officially reclaimed ownership of her master recordings — a monumental moment in her career and personal journey. The announcement lit up social media, and one notable show of support came from Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Brittany, who's developed a close friendship with Swift over the past NFL season, reshared the singer's post on her Instagram story with a heartfelt three-word reaction: 'Just so amazing. ' Brittany Mahomes has been a vocal ally of Taylor Swift since the pop icon started dating Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce in 2023.

Swift's original message was posted on Instagram and Twitter with a nod to her iconic lyrics: 'You belong with me. Letter on my site :).'

A major moment in Swift's battle for creative control Taylor Swift's fight to regain control of her original music has been a well-documented and emotional saga. It began in 2019 when music executive Scooter Braun purchased Big Machine Records, acquiring Swift's masters without her consent.

' In a deeply moving message, Swift reflected on the years of disappointment and near misses: 'All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through... after 20 years of having the carrot dangled then yanked away.

Taylor Swift officially gains ownership of her first six albums
It has been a long road of re-recordings, cryptic clues, and a whole lot of vinyl, but Taylor Swift has officially done it. As of May 30, 2025, the global superstar confirmed she now owns the rights to her entire body of work, including the six albums that launched her into pop history. Taylor Swift's bought back her albums In a detailed note shared to her website, Swift shared that she has bought back her original masters from private equity firm Shamrock Capital, the company that previously held them after acquiring them from Scooter Braun. The financial details remain undisclosed, but the symbolic win speaks volumes. Those close to Swift say she is relieved and proud to finally hold the keys to the songs she spent her life creating. She thanked her fans for being part of what she described as a mission to reclaim the art she never fully had control over, until now. Full-circle moment This marks a full-circle moment in a saga that began in 2019, when her former label, Big Machine Records, sold her catalogue to Braun without her involvement. The move led to a highly publicised fallout, and Swift chose to take matters into her own hands, literally. Her solution? Re-record the original six albums so she could own new masters of her old hits. That decision sparked a cultural shift. Since 2021, 'Taylor's Version' releases of Fearless, Red, Speak Now, and 1989 have topped charts, crashed streaming platforms, and added layers of meaning with unreleased tracks and subtle easter eggs. Each one has proven Swift's fans are here for the long haul, and not just for the nostalgia. Still, there is more to come. Despite four albums already being re-released, Swift noted she has only re-recorded 'less than a quarter' of her full catalogue. Fans are already speculating that Reputation (Taylor's Version) is next, thanks to recent soundtrack teases across film and TV. In the meantime, Swift is riding high off the success of The Tortured Poets Department and her record-breaking global tour. Now, with her full discography back in her hands, she is not just rewriting the music, she is rewriting the rules.

Taylor Swift buys back music catalogue for close to $360 MILLION: 'All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me'
Pop superstar has officially bought back her music catalogue, marking a landmark moment in her decades-long career. In a heartfelt message posted on her official website on Friday (May 30), Swift shared her joy with all her Swifties and revealed that she has purchased the master recordings of her first six studio albums — Taylor Swift (2006), Fearless (2008), Speak Now (2010), Red (2012), 1989 (2014), and Reputation (2017). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The star made the purchase from private equity firm Shamrock Capital. While the purchase price remains undisclosed, Billboard reports suggest Swift paid close to the $360 million Shamrock initially spent to acquire the rights in 2021. Despite a narrow margin on the sale, the equity firm is said to have earned an estimated $100 million in profits from licensing, streaming, and sales revenues over the past three years. Taking to her Instagram handle, Taylor shared photos of herself with her albums and wrote, "You belong with me." 'Hi. I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news,' Taylor wrote on her website. 'All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled then yanked away. But that's all in the past now,' the Grammy winner continued. 'I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made… now belongs… to me. ' She added, 'And all of my music videos. All the concert films. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work.' The move is the culmination of a deeply personal and public struggle for Swift, who began re-recording her early albums after music executive acquired — and later sold — her masters without her consent. Braun's Ithaca Holdings sold the catalogue to Shamrock in 2021, a deal reportedly worth $360 million. Swift began releasing new versions of her early work under the 'Taylor's Version' banner in 2021, starting with Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version). To date, four of these re-recorded albums have been released, each debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and including additional "From the Vault" tracks, visual storytelling, and thematic Easter eggs — deepening fans' connection to her music. 'We are thrilled with this outcome and are so happy for Taylor,' Shamrock Capital said in a statement. Even Scooter Braun, who was at the centre of the controversy, commented on the news, telling media outlets, 'I am happy for her.' Swift's announcement comes amid a career-high period that includes her latest album The Tortured Poets Department, revealed at the 2024 Grammys and released during her record-breaking billion-dollar Eras Tour. With full control now returned to the artist, fans and industry watchers alike are calling this a landmark victory — not just for Swift, but for musicians everywhere seeking ownership of their art.
