Travis Kelce, happily celebrated the news on a recent episode of his podcast, New Heights.
According to Rolling Stone, Swift’s fight to get back ownership of her music started years ago when her first six albums were sold by her old record label, Big Machine, to Scooter Braun’s company, Ithaca Holdings. Swift strongly disagreed with this sale. This led to years of conflict, and Swift decided to re-record her albums as “Taylor’s Version,” which lowered the value of the original recordings.
After Ithaca Holdings sold the music to Shamrock Capital, Swift kept working to regain control. This week’s announcement confirmed she had succeeded. In a heartfelt message to her fans, Swift shared how happy she was, talking about the years of effort it took to reach this moment and how emotional she felt finally achieving her goal. She stressed how much it meant to her personally to own her own work, saying the music represented her memories, effort, and dreams.
Taylor Swift owns her work—finally!
The news of Swift’s victory spread far beyond her loyal fans. Travis Kelce showed his by celebrating the news on his podcast with his brother Jason and guest Shaquille O’Neal. The episode took a fun turn when O’Neal, who calls himself a Swift fan, played Swift’s hit song I Knew You Were Trouble from his phone, leading to a spontaneous dance party.
Kelce used the moment to share how proud he was of Swift’s achievement, explaining how important the purchase was and saying the music “is finally hers.” The podcast moment perfectly showed the happiness and relief that came with this long-awaited win.
The public between Kelce and Swift shows how strong their relationship is. Since they went public in 2023, the couple has consistently shown their iration and for each other’s careers.
Swift had said, “All I’ve ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy. This was a business deal to them, but I really felt like they saw it for what it was to me: My memories and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams. I am endlessly thankful.”
Swift has often gone to Chiefs games to cheer for Kelce, while Kelce has returned the by attending several shows on Swift’s Eras Tour, even ing her on stage during a concert in London. Swift getting back her original recordings is much more than just a business deal; it’s about taking back her artistic legacy and standing up for an artist’s right to own their work.
