But the original record contract she signed with BMR has a re-recording clause too for sure 

so she potentially may have to wait 10 years per album 

They can't change existing contracts this is for future artists. And UMG doesn't own Taylors new or old masters. BMR isn't a part of UMG

So are they blocking her from re-recording her other albums right now? Im confused  

I don't think so. She signed with UMG after her departure from Big Machine and has now re-recorded and re-released* two of her previous albums from Big Machine. Her biggest conflict with Big Machine was owning her masters; I highly doubt she would sign away her new masters and re-recordings after her experience. UMG is simply redefining their terms for any and all future signed artists in light of Taylor's success with her re-recordings.
