Taylor Swift is in the process of re-recording her music, and we have your first listen of the ‘new’ versions! Starting with her classic, ‘Love Story’!
According to Entertainment Weekly, “Swift is re-recording her early albums after her Big Machine Label Group catalog was sold against her will to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings in 2019. The catalog was, in turn, re-sold last month to Shamrock Holdings for a reported $300 million. As Swift’s contract gives her the right to re-record material from 2006’s Taylor Swift, Fearless, 2010’s Speak Now, 2012’s Red and 2014’s 1989, the artist is doing just that. It’s a potentially savvy counter move that will presumably drive fans to her re-recordings (which she owns) and devalue her old recordings (which she doesn’t). The re-recordings would also allow her to license the songs to movies, TV shows and, as in the above case, commercials.”
