Swift has been in the music industry for almost her entire life and through contract changes, she’s been taking more control of her own music now. Taylor Swift has been re-recording her original albums in order to own the rights to them. She still has to release new versions of her 2006 self-titled debut album, 2014’s 19’s Reputation, although it is thought the work on 1989 has already been done.The old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. She has already recorded new versions of her previous albums Fearless and Red. Swift signed with Universal Music in 2018 in a deal believed to give her control of her master recordings. The masters have since changed hands again after a deal with investment firm Shamrock Capital, but Swift has continued with a bid to regain ownership of the music by creating new versions of the songs. Swift first embarked on the re-recording of her first six albums after the master recordings were acquired by the prominent talent manager Scooter Braun when he bought her former label, much to her fury. The half a dozen previously unheard tracks also feature Fall Out Boy and Paramore singer Hayley Williams. Original lyric “She’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress” has been rewritten to “He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches”. The remake saw Swift change the lyrics in song Better Than Revenge that had garnered controversy in the years since the original recording came out in 2010 as being unprogressive towards women’s sexuality.
