Swift vowed to re-record the songs from her first six albums after music manager Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings company acquired Big Machine Label Group, the home to Swift’s first six albums. He then sold Big Machine Label Group, and Swift’s catalogue, a private equity company called Shamrock Holdings. Swift was allowed to begin re-recording on Nov. 1, 2020. These albums include “Taylor Swift” (2006), “Fearless” (2008), “Speak Now” (2010), “Red” (2012), “1989” (2014), and “Reputation” (2017).
