2019 marked the start of a story when Taylor Swift’s company, Ithaca Holdings, acquired Big Machine Records and consequently gained control over Swift’s master recordings in that transaction. However, Swift was not given the chance to buy her own work before the sale. This move sparked public criticism from Swift, who emphasized a long-standing conflict between Swift and Braun.
In 2020, Ithaca transferred ownership of their catalog to Shamrock Capital in a deal estimated to be around $300 million. Since then, an unexpected turn of events has occurred, as Shamrock has given control of the masters directly to Taylor Swift, the Karma singer. Although the specifics of the financial aspect are undisclosed, Swift expressed her gratitude towards Shamrock for their handling of the negotiations, labeling the process as respectful and fair.
Upon being reached for a statement, Scooter Braun acknowledged Taylor Swift’s win in a brief and cordial manner, offering congratulations without delving into the past disagreements they’ve had. The Hollywood Reporter captured his response, which was merely a “congratulations” or “happy for her.

Despite numerous fan speculations online, Swift has clarified that the re-recording of Reputation (Taylor’s Version) isn’t quite ready for release yet. However, she has indicated that as long as her fans continue to show interest, she plans to complete and share both albums with us.
