Swift has already tried to take control of her own masters in the years since. Scooter Braun bought out the artist's former label, Big Machine – a move that saw him take control of the masters of his first six albums (he later sold the masters for $300 million to Shamrock Holdings).
After Swift failed to redeem the Masters, she decided to re-record her first six LPs. She has since released an updated version of 2008's Dauntless – titled Dauntless (Taylor version) – and intends to give up Red (Taylor version) later this year in November.

“In terms of production, I really wanted to be very faithful to the initial melodies that I had thought of for these songs,” he said. “So we really tried to do a 'same but better' version. We kept all the parts that I had originally envisioned for these songs. But if there was a way to improve the sound quality, we would do it."
