It’s called business they gave Taylor money upfront to start her career in exchange SHE AND HER MOTHER SIGNED A CONTRACT. No surprise she’s just a entitled bit ch like most of the people in these comments
She is a powerhouse of a woman. The letter she wrote to Apple, the producer she called out for being a.hole, re-recording her work that was almost stolen from her, calling out shitty old boyfriends. THIS WOMAN DOES NOT SUFFER FOOLS. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I am so proud of Taylor for taking back creative control of her music & art. I fully support her & absolutely love midnights! I hope she knows how much her music means to people
What "creative control" had she lost exactly? She was only losing out on revenue because she didn't own the rights to the recordings. She always owned the actual songs, which is why she has been able to rerecord/rejig them. To be clear I think it is a really clever thing she is done (and a hell of a power move), and I'm happy that it is the original artist is going to get paid instead of some exec, but I think it is just disingenuous to suggest that the reason she did this is anything other than money.
@@MrDohers it’s money for her work that they didn’t allowed her to buy she could have paid the 300 millions that they pay for her masters, she has credit
@@MrDohers Except at one time Big Machine were blocking her playing her own songs live so there is a lot more detail to this than the headline you picked up on... Under the re-record restriction in Taylor’s contract, which is boilerplate for major artist contracts, Big Machine was legally allowed to block the performance on the AMA's - “A television broadcast is technically a re-record.” If you or I had her money and resources and fancied making life hell for an industry snake and avoid such scenarios popping up then we'd probably try and do the same... although none of us have the talent and desire for perfection to pull that off in the same way that she has - she's on another level.
I still remember back in 2019 for Taylor would do re-recordings and now I’ve been introduced those 1st 2 albums Fearless and RED through the Taylor’s Versions and I admire of Taylor doing for newer fans to introduce older music in a new version. I’m excited for more re-recordings in the future 😁❤
As someone who has always been much older than Taylor, and only a casual fan: I find it very satisfying to see her fully mature, with a handle on the world she grew up in. The thing we need to remember about artists like her and Miley is that they grew up in the Wienstien era where sexualization of teens was the norm. It was disgusting. To see Taylor in the dignity of womanhood, after growing up in such a vile industry, is a testament to her accomplishment. I hope she take pride in this.
literally I saw so many articles about how MIDNIGHTS gonna flop in sales and streaming! They said no artist would sell 1 million these days! She prove all of them wrong! Midnights did that in 4 days!
Yesss 240 Million streams in 24 Hours! ( Biggest streaming day by a artist in history ) & 1 BILLION in the 1st week! I don't think these records will be broken anytime soon! like who can even come near those numbers
Her music isn't usually my thing (although Folklore is incredible!) but I respect and admire the hell out of her! Such a great example for young women!
I’m hoping she’ll re-record her debut album as soon as possible. With “Tim McGraw,” “Teardrops On My Guitar,” and “Should’ve Said No,” It’ll be nice to hear the tracks performed by a more mature Taylor over 15 years later.
I want all of her albums (I.e. debut, speak now, 1989, rep) to be re-recorded asap, but obviously, that’s very unrealistic. Rn, I’m mostly looking forward to the speak now and 1989 re-recordings
@Martin 1222 so she dated 10 men in 15 years and has been with the same man for 6 years plus now what is abnormal about that. I hope you keep this energy for men who have dated 100 women like leonardo dicaprio and are still going from girl to girl in their 50s
@Martin 1222 what an insightful response, Martin. I admire your high regard of humans of the female sex, who evidently are “spreading legs around” whenever they reach a level of success that threatens you. Hopefully one will be willing to get close to you someday soon! 🥰
@Martin 1222 I’m a fake Christian too. Woohoo, we all grew up in a fake Christian society, who’s shocked? Seems like a funny thing to judge someone for nowadays 😂 I don’t think being a Christian has been a part of her persona for a decade now
It's monumental to see him applauding her story and calling her decision to re-record an "amazing moment", given his understanding of the Western music industry over many decades, and the tension between creativity and commercialism for artists who find huge success like U2 and Taylor Swift have. Their U2 360 tour held the world record for highest-grossing all time tour from 2011-2019 before being overtaken by Ed Sheeran and still holds record if adjusted for inflation. Such a great conversation and interaction.
It's kinda weird but I feel very proud of her. On top of that I like the re-recordings even better. Her voice matured a bit and the overall sound quality increased. I removed all of her old work from my playlists and switched them.
I am loving her more as she matures. She is like wine. Gets even better as she aged. Aside from her music, i love her interviews She is so graceful, funny, and witty.
Taylor Swift is really lovely and I give her a huge round of applause for her reaction to the treatment she received at the hands of record label bosses who I could describe rudely but I won't because they aren't really worth it and Taylor deserves so much better.
Congratulations Taylor, you have given a great lesson in humility to an industry whose only talent is to exploit creators. I hope that your example will warn younger generations of songwriters against these unscrupulous people who shatter dreams and sometimes promising careers. You are more than an artist, you are an example.
Taylor’s a very smart businesswoman as well as a great artist. She had her fans buy the same album multiple times by releasing different colours and adding extras. That’s a smart business move and it’s certainly helped her to become a billionaire. Re releasing her earlier work was also a smart move because most artists don’t get to cash in on their albums twice. I have a lot of admiration for Taylor because she has shown that being smart and a strong woman pays off. I really hope she finds personal happiness and more professional success
I stopped streaming the old versions and the albums she still hasn't re-record I hadn't listened to them in a while. Reputation, Speak Now and 1989 are my top favorite and I'll wait until I can listen to her versions~
I have to say that she is so interesting and talented and yes! adorable. Her genuine nature I think shines through...and her fierceness for her works and her art...truly a force of nature. I also like that many of her works cross over age boundaries and gender boundaries that all too often limit....there are works that touch me and I am 66 years of age...we usually are often set in our ways..we have our own style and likes.....then when you pay attention to her lyrics...well! I think and feel Mary Chapin Carpenter has a very similar gift. Wish her continued success with her art and hope that she protectes her genius and herself..we all gain by the depths of her person. The aduit of her songs as magnificent. xxx love to all.
I only listen to Taylor’s versions also if I created something I’d want control of it too. The people that get defensive about this obviously have nothing worthwhile to create themselves
@swifty(taylor's version) PMSL! So ironic (you'll need to look that up) that YOU - with that ridiculous Username - would hate on anyone! I'm just gonna *Shake It Off!*
Amazing message for other artists who are suffering similar ownership issues. Not to mention those albums are some of her best imo, so glad we got to hear them with her matured voice / production.
Taylor is the music industry how many artists can both rerecord their back catalogue keep the masters for her versions and make that any money the company makes out of selling shares in Spotify the profits from the shares are distributed equally among artists on the label she's a genius along with being a brilliant singer/songwriter directs films as well I hope reputation Taylor's version is going to be her next album to come she should do ironic with Alanis morissette on the album
Surely, she can understand why so many people, especially music artists, have supported what she did by re-recording her songs. The dirty nature of music copyright is something that many artists have struggled with for decades, with the most notable case being The Beatles catalogue being purchased by Michael Jackson to the annoyance of Paul McCartney. For all that time artists have had little control of their own music. So when Taylor Swift decided to regain control of her music by re-recordinv it, she was basically empowering music artists, showing them they had more power than record labels had led them to believe they possessed.
Some people speculated she wasn't gonna rerecord all of them but rather pressure Shamrock into selling them back to her but this is like 90% confirmation we're getting all 6
One thing I don’t understand is that she surely signed whatever agreement that gave the record company the rights to her music right? Then did the record company sell them without her knowledge? Again it sucks but whoever her representation was at the start probably screwed her over.
