Taylor Swift fans started Friday (7) with new music to listen to. In fact, the songs they already know, but they went through small changes. The singer re-recorded the album “Speak Now”, originally from 2010.
The modification of the songs is part of the Taylor’s Version project (Versão da Taylor), a way to acquire rights to her work, in a dispute with the former label and manager Scooter Braun. This is the third re-release. In 2021, she re-released “Red” (2012) and “Fearless” (2008).
The artist’s fight with the manager over the rights to the songs began in 2019, when he bought Big Machine Record, the singer’s label since 2005, and has acquired her albums since then. At the time, Taylor said she heard about the deal from the press and didn’t get a chance to get her own rights. The owner of the original recordings can decide how the songs are reproduced and sold.
To acquire the rights to her catalog, the singer decided to re-record all her albums and re-release them under “Taylor’s version” to show that the discs really belong to her.
In a post to announce the release, she says revisiting memories from when she was 18-20 filled her with nostalgia. “It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas and tragedies I experienced as a young girl. I had to be ruthless with my choices and left behind some songs I’m still very proud of. Thanks a million times.”
