Selena Gomez Cheers On Taylor Swift As She Reclaims Her Music Catalog

After years of waiting, Taylor Swift finally has the rights to her music catalog again.

On Friday, May 30, the "Mirrorball" singer revealed that Shamrock Capital had agreed to sell back the rights to her music with "no strings attached."

A few hours after the "Anti-Hero" singer revealed that she was once again owned the rights to her old songs, music videos, and photography, her close friend Selena Gomez stepped up to show her support.

"YES YOU DID THAT TAY!!!" she wrote on her Instagram Stories, adding, "SO proud!"

The close friends have often shared their support with one another on social media, with Swift recently cheering on Gomez's latest album with her fiancé, Benny Blanco.

Earlier, in a post announcing their engagement, Swift commented, "yes I will be the flower girl," which sent fans into a frenzy.

The news proved to be so popular that Swift's Instagram post received over five million likes within only three hours of publication. "taylor" started trending in the top spot on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, along with the title of one of her songs, "Better Than Revenge."

Although comments on her Instagram post were disabled, her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce, dropped a subtle sign of support by "liking" her post, since he was unable to leave a comment. The post received many celebrities likes from her famous friends, many of whom have supported her throughout her journey to reclaim her music.

The "Look What You Made Me Do" singer announced the good news in a long letter that she published on her website on the morning of Friday, May 30. In the letter, she thanked her fans for supporting her music and her wildly successful Eras Tour, which helped make the purchase possible.

“To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it,” she told her followers. “To my fans, you know how important this has been to me – so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released 4 of my albums, calling them Taylor’s Version.”

Since Scooter Braun's acquisition in 2019, Swift has released “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” “Red (Taylor’s Version),” "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”

“The passionate support you showed those albums and the success story you turned The Eras Tour into is why I was able to buy back my music,” she continued. “I can’t thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to but have never owned until now.”

Now that she has the rights to her music back, many fans are wondering what will happen to the last two albums that she has yet to re-record: "Reputation" and her debut album. In her letter, she revealed that while she has completed re-recording her debut album, she has been struggling with "Reputation" and the memories that she associates with that era of her life.

“Full transparency: I haven’t even re-recorded a quarter of it. The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to remake it,” she explained. “All that defiance, that longing, to be understood while feeling purposely misunderstood, that desperate hope, that shame-born snarl and mischief.”

“To be perfectly honest, it’s the one album in those first 6 that I thought couldn’t be improved upon by redoing it,” she continued. “Not the music, or photos, or videos. So I kept putting it off. There will be a time (if you’re into the idea) for the unreleased Vault tracks from that album to watch.”

However, there is good news for fans hoping for a full re-release of her debut album. “I’ve already completely re-recorded my entire debut album, and I really love how it sounds now,” she wrote. “Those 2 albums can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about.”

“But if it happens, it won’t be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have,” she added. “It will just be a celebration now.”
