In May, the pop star said she purchased her catalog of recordings \u2014 originally released through Big Machine Records \u2014<\/u><\/a> from their most recent owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital. She did not disclose the amount paid.<\/p>\n In recent years, Swift had been re-recording and releasing her first six albums in an attempt to regain control of her music. The project was instigated by music executive Scooter Braun\u2019s<\/u><\/a> purchase and sale of her early catalog. Previous “Taylor\u2019s Version” releases<\/u><\/a> have been more than conventional re-recordings, arriving with new “from the vault” music, Easter eggs and visuals that deepen understanding of her work.<\/p>\n\n
