Red(Taylor’s Version)is the second album she has re-recorded after releasingFearless (Taylor’s Version)in April.
Swift’s decision to re-record her first six albums again followedScooter Braun’s purchase of Swift’s former record label Big Machine— a move that allowed him to take control of the masters to those albums. (Hesold the masters for $300 millionto Shamrock Holdings in November 2020.)
Swift then declined to work with the private equity company after they reached out following the purchase since Braun’s Ithaca Holdings would still profit off her old music for “many years.”
Red (Taylor’s Version)is out on Friday.
