Using multiple barometers employed by music industry investors, Billboard estimates that the Swift catalog now has about a $400 million-$450 million price, which suggests that Braun scored quite a deal in buying Big Machine. Ithaca Holdings and Swift’s team both declined to comment for this article, and sources have said that two sides are not in negotiations on such a deal. Here’s how we modeled our analysis, without knowing the specifics of Swift’s recording contracts.

Billboard constructed a four-year revenue model using sales and streaming data for both Big Machine’s and Taylor Swift’s catalogs to come up with U.S. estimated revenue for both, and then extrapolated global revenue. From 2015 to 2018, Billboard estimated that Big Machine averaged about $98 million in revenue annually, its lowest point, in 2016 at $68 million, was the sole year without a new Swift album. Its high point was the following year, 2017 at $121 million, when Swift released Reputation. During those four years, Swift’s catalog raked in an average of $53 million per year for Big Machine, accounting for more than half of the company’s total annual revenue. Sources familiar with Big Machine’s financials confirm that Billboard’s estimates are in the ballpark.

That's why they tried to trap her into signing with them again. They won't sell it

because one version of the song had a ~homophobic lyric but it’s been changed since, so i don’t see why she would remove it

Once she re-records them they'll be worthless and the guy who sold big machine to him knows it. So scooter should enjoy them while he still can :billie:

Can you please mention her mediocre musics?.i agree around 10 to 15% are mediocre but remaining are gems and masterpiece. She has broken multiple records for a reason. Especially her country albums are body of work every other artist envy to have.

i mean her pre red era music doesn't generate enough streams so there is no point in rerecording it... fans can just listen to original and put some coins in scooters pocket so that he can invest in ariana. in this way swifties will be helping arianators :ohwell:
