Every time Taylor Swift releases a new recording, it feels like an emotional day. To those who don’t understand her music, this may seem like a silly statement. What exactly do we, as fans, get out of someone re-recording albums we’ve already heard? How is putting more money in a billionaire’s pockets beneficial to us?

The thing is, these re-records have always been about more than the poetic song lyrics. It’s about more than the beats we dance to behind the closed doors of our bedrooms.

It’s a coming of age and a change in the tide of something that holds so much passion. Or, in Taylor speak …It’s the end of a decade but the start of an age.

The Logistics for Taylor Swift the Artist

Taylor has done what no artist has done before. She has taken the time and the chance to reclaim something that should have always been hers. Those songs she’s put so much heart and passion into are slowly becoming hers again.

She has literally put her blood, sweat, and tears into this.

Everyone knows the Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta story. They sold the masters out from the artist. This after years of micromanagement of her career.
