Swift previously sought to take control of her own masters in years past afterScooter Braun bought the artist’s former record label Big Machine— a move that saw him take control of the masters to her first six albums (He latersold the masters for $300 millionto Shamrock Holdings).
After Swift was unable to purchase back the masters, she decided to re-record her first six LPs. She has since released an updated take on 2008’sFearless— titledFearless (Taylor’s Version)— and has plans to dropRed (Taylor’s Version)later this year in November.
“In terms of production, I really wanted to stay very loyal to the initial melodies that I had thought of for these songs,” she said. “And so we really did go in and try to create a ‘the same but better’ version. We kept all the same parts that I initially dreamed up for these songs. But if there was any way that we could improve upon the sonic quality, we did.”
