This is why Taylor Swift is rerecording her first six albums

This appeared in The Millennial Source

It’s part of a larger campaign by the country and pop star to own her own music and reclaim her musical catalog from figures in the music industry with whom she has had a very public feud in recent years.

When Taylor Swift appeared on Good Morning America on Thursday, February 11, it was to announce the release of a rerecorded version of one of her biggest early hits, “Love Story.” Alongside her release of the new version of the song, Swift also announced the imminent release of the entirely rerecorded “Fearless” album, the album on which “Love Story” originally appeared.

Though musical artists rerecord their songs all the time, the release of “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” (as the new recording is titled) was not simply an attempt to increase sales but is instead part of a larger campaign by the country and pop star to own her own music and reclaim her musical catalog from figures in the music industry with whom she has had a very public feud in recent years.
