Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, have kept a low profile this offseason. After 149 "Eras Tour" shows across the world, Swift earned a much-deserved breaks While fans hoped she'd soon announce either "Reputation: Taylor's Version" or the re-recorded version of her self-titled debut, she's remained out of the spotlight. However, on May 30, Swift surprised fans with a huge announcement about her music and career. The 35-year-old pop star now finally owns all her music and master recordings. "All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to buy and purchase my music outright. I'm simply attached, in partnership, with full authorization. It will be forever, starting at midnight @ the moment Capital has transferred everything back over to the hands of me." Back in 2019, Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings purchased Big Machine Label Group, which owned Swift's master recordings. The "Karma" singer then moved to re-record her music in order to regain ownership. In 2020, Shamrock Capital purchased Swift's master recordings. Sources told Billboard that Swift purchased her catalog back to her "for an amount relatively close to what they paid for it -- around $360 million." While she already re-recorded "Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)," and loves how it sounds, she revealed "Reputation: Taylor's Version)" is not even close to being finished. "I haven't even recovered a quarter of it. The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to rework it... To be perfectly honest, it's the one album in the first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it." Both her debut and "Rep:TV" will "re-emerge when the time is right."This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.
