These re-recordings not only allowed her to regain artistic control but also diminished the value of the original masters by directing fans and licensing opportunities toward her new versions.
Understanding Master Recording Rights
A master recording is the original version of a song from which all copies are made.
Owning the master grants the holder the right to license the song for various uses, including streaming, films, commercials, and more. While artists typically retain rights to their compositions, record labels often own the masters, controlling how the recordings are used and monetized.
By acquiring her master’s, Swift now has the authority to determine how her music is used commercially, ensuring that any licensing aligns with her artistic vision and values.
