After getting everyone to buy it all as “Taylor’s Version” she owns the Originals again. Lol.. I’m not a fan at all.. but this was marketing genius
And they're happy about it! Saying the originals were better anyway.
It should also be mentioned that the Eras tour was inspired by the re-releases. The cynic in me wonders if Scooter Braun wasn't in on this plan all along, and if "buying back" her catalog was merely paying him his share of the tour.
Eh, the TV's were a reaction to the sale without giving her a chance to buy her masters back. Of course Big Machine needed to sell, masters and all because she WAS the value of that label. The re-records were to keep Scooter who she hates btw from profiting even though he owned the masters, Tay owned the publishing. They encouraged the fans to stream those versions, when she gave permission for a song to be used, they used TV. She cut off their revenue as best she could. It was a great move. ERA's mostly came about because she was on her 4th album without out touring due to covid, etc.
Now six years later she has come to a deal with the company Scooter sold them to. I say well earned.

How Taylor Swift Celebrated Buying Her Masters
"rep forever guilt free listening!"
It doesn’t mean anything. He’s her friend and producer and besides that, he just got married in the past year or so. I’m not saying Taylor and Travis will stay together forever. Celebrity relationships rarely last, they have conflicting schedules and commitments (plus big egos) which makes having a normal relationship difficult. But I doubt this is an indicator.
The conflicting schedules makes sense for a lot of the time they've been a couple. But right now, he's training for the next season and she's taking a break from working. I found it refreshing right after the Super Bowl when they were just out of sight. But now they're both making a lot of paparazzi appearances without being together.
Jack Antonoff? he’s married.. (that doesn’t stop most folks) but I can’t see TS going there
I know he's married, and did not make the point to suggest that she's involved romantically with him. It just seems odd to me that in such a big moment her first call would be to a friend and not her boyfriend. Couple that with their being photographed in different cities and I think it's enough to ask a question. I'm not saying they're over. I'm saying that if we find out in a few months that they are, we can look back on this and realize there were signs.
They were just at some restaurant in Palm Beach together like a week ago.
Great reasons why we're talking about Antonoff as the FRIEND she called before her she called her boyfriend when a major thing happened in her life. I'm not pointing it out to say they must be dating. I'm pointing it out to question whether or not she and Travis still are dating.
