Taylor Swift shelled out a lot of money to purchase her own masters!
You most likely heard the amazing news from the pop star on Friday! She finally bought back her first six records from Shamrock Capital! That means she owns all of her songs, music videos, concert films, album photography, and unreleased tracks, but with “no strings attached” for the first time.
It is a dream come true for Tay, who has been fighting to get her music catalog for “20 years.” It was a long and tough battle, but she won! And despite reports to the contrary, her nemesis Scooter Braun did not help Taylor and her team get this deal done — nor did she have to pay between $600 million and $1 billion! A source told People on Friday that “the rumored price range that was reported is highly inaccurate.”

So what did the Cruel Summer singer pay? It’s still a jaw-dropping amount! However, the price was not as much as previously suggested! Sources revealed to Billboards on Friday that Taylor coughed up a whopping $360 million, which is close to what the private equity firm paid in 2020 when Scooter sold it to them.
Wow!
Taylor probably would have paid anything to get all her music back — as long as there were no crazy conditions attached like before! Thankfully, she got her wishes this time! We’re so happy for her! What are your reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments!
