$300 million in 2020.

Probably less now.

Reports in the last few weeks suggest the starting price tag was $600 million. Given we now know she's got all of her album photoshoots etc and concert film rights etc I think that makes sense with the older reports of the price tag being $300million for the albums. 

Just waiting till the Rep tour film gets put back on streaming

As a swiftie I'm both happy and sad for repTV, i was really looking forward to it, I know at least the vault tracks are on the way but still bittersweet

She paid way less now IMO. This was the number reported when her catalogue was sold in 2020.

With the taylor versions she de-valuated her own catalog and was probably able to get a better price.

At the end, she got everything, Taylor is not to be trifled with. :sweat:

BBC reports:

The BBC understands that rumours she paid between $600m to $1bn are inaccurately high.

 

She probably paid pennies on the dollar (for her) tbh, or she wouldn't pay and just keep churning out the TV versions IMO.

I'm also praying that the never released Red tour film gets released one day now

I mean it was reported that $600m was what the owners wanted, it'd be unlikely they got that in full so it's definitely lower. 

But I think she'd pay because the offer was no strings attached out right ownership of literally everything not just the old tapes etc. 
Its a way better deal for her than was ever expected tbh. And as much as she is very much a business woman, she is also very passionate about her songwriting so I could see her being prepared to pay a bit more than someone else might have.

Makes sense, I mean, she has the money to do it.

I wonder if we'll actually get the numbers, I'm curious lol

I'm actually pretty annoyed for a whole host of reasons.

I'm going to find the inconsistency very frustrating, knowing that reputation was always supposed to have a re-recording, especially as it's one of my least favourite albums from her and I was excited to get a fresh take on it. Unfinished projects are even more annoying than projects that never materialise in the first place.

Additionally, it feels kind of... dodgy. As someone who owns all of the re-recordings on vinyl and has supported each one, I don't love this whole 'I own my original masters now so I'm just never going to complete this project I told you to be invested in' attitude. All she's spoken about is how the re-recordings have been about more than just the masters, and how she's loved the process of re-recording her albums, yet she's seemingly ditching it at the first opportunity?

I'm happy for her, but I think it would've been more of a statement to buy them back after releasing the final two re-recordings. I don't buy the whole 'I couldn't get into the headspace for reputation' reasoning, as she's performed near-enough the entire album on The Eras Tour perfectly convincingly.

The whole thing just leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth as someone who's generally really enjoyed the re-recording process.
