Taylor Swift leaves Sony/ATV, signs new contract with Universal Music

[Bambino 24,290]

The switch not only puts all Swift's creative efforts under the Universal banner but has her rejoining the Nashville exec who'd worked with her since she signed with Sony/ATV at age 14.

Taylor Swift has signed an exclusive global publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group, after being with Sony/ATV since she first came to Nashville as a young teenager.

The switch was widely expected, as it not only puts all of Swift’s future creative output under the Universal banner but reunites the singer with former Sony/ATV Nashville head Troy Tomlinson, who became chairman/CEO of UMPG Nashville in July 2019. In a statement, the pop superstar expressed her enthusiasm for rejoining forces with Tomlinson as well as getting to work with UMPG’s overall chairman/CEO, Jody Gerson.

I thought she already switched to another label before Lover came out?

Publishing companies and record labels are responsible for two seperate aspects of a song: A publishing company manages the musical composition (i.e., this song is written by x and y). A record label produces and manages the actual musical recording.
