Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) is the ()th re-recorded album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on () via Republic Records. It is the re-recording of Swift's debut studio album, Taylor Swift (2006), a counter-measure by Swift following the 2019 dispute over the ownership of her back catalog released by Big Machine Records.
Background
[edit]Taylor Swift released her first studio album, Taylor Swift, on October 24, 2006, under Big Machine, as per her recording contract, which expired in November 2018. She hence withdrew from Big Machine and signed a new deal with Republic Records, which secured her the rights to own the masters of any new music she would release.[1] In 2019, American businessman Scooter Braun acquired Big Machine;[2] the ownership of the masters to Swift's first six studio albums, including Taylor Swift, transferred to him.[3] In August 2019, Swift denounced Braun's purchase and announced that she would re-record her first six studio albums so as to own their masters herself.[4] Swift began the re-recording process in November 2020.[5] Fearless (Taylor's Version), the first of her six re-recorded albums, was released on April 9, 2021, followed by Red (Taylor's Version) on November 12, 2021,[6][7], Speak Now (Taylor's Version) on July 7, 2023, and 1989 (Taylor's Version) on October 27, 2023; all four achieved critical and commercial success, debuting atop the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.[8]
