Taylor Swift now controls her entire music catalog after she bought back the master recordings of her first six albums.

"I’m trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. As a flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news," she said in a letter on her website Friday.

"I almost stopped thinking it could happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that’s all in the past now."

Swift lost the rights in 2019 after her first record label, Big Machine, sold them to record executive Scooter Braun. In a June 2019 Tumblr post, she called it the "worst case scenario" and accused Braun of years of "incessant, manipulative bullying."

The masters were then sold again to the investment firm Shamrock Capital. The firm said in a statement Friday that it was "thrilled with this outcome and [we] are so happy for Taylor."
