Taylor Swift reveals fate of debut album re-recording amid shock news she bought back her masters

“Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version)” may be coming soon.

Taylor Swift revealed she has re-recorded her self-titled debut album despite buying back her masters.

“I’ve already re-recorded my entire debut album. And I really love how it sounds now,” the pop superstar, 35, said in a statement on her website Friday of her 2006 album, which featured hits like “Tim McGraw,” “Teardrops on My Guitar” and “Our Song.”

Swift made the revelation while addressing why the re-recording of “Reputation” has been so delayed.

She admitted about her sixth studio album, which was first released in 2017, “I haven’t even re-recorded a quarter of it,” noting she “kept hitting a stopping point” when she attempted to re-record it.

However, Swift told her loyal fans she’s open to the idea that both her debut album and “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” “have their moment to re-emerge when the time is right, if that is “something you guys would be excited about.”

“But if it happens, it won’t be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now,” the Grammy winner noted, referencing the major news surrounding her masters.

Swift’s headline-making deal comes about six years after she and famed music manager Scooter Braun publicly feuded over the sale of her records. Braun, 49, bought the masters in 2019 for $300 million with the “You Belong With Me” singer alleging at the time that the transaction was made without her approval.

“This was the second time my music had been sold without my knowledge. The letter told me that they wanted to reach out before the sale to let me know, but that Scooter Braun had required that they make no contact with me or my team, or the deal would be off,” Swift claimed via X in November 2020.

As a result of the bad blood, the “Shake It Off” singer re-recorded four of her albums, releasing “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” “Red (Taylor’s Version),” “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”

Page Six then exclusively reported last week that Swift was given the chance to buy back the originals.

The masters had most recently been in the possession of Shamrock Capitol, whom Braun sold the recordings to one year later after his investment for a profit.

Sources told us at the time that the investment firm had become interested in selling them back to Swift and Braun was allegedly encouraging the company to follow through with the sale.
