Plastic Flower 4,584 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Not her posting using the Platinum Edition ass cover for Fearless Anyway, I'm glad for her. And I feel sorry for the swifties who spent the last 2-3 years theorizing about the Rep TV announcement. Drop it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut TV has been rerecorded in full and may be released. Rep Vault Tracks may be released. She also fully owns everything beyond her masters including music videos, album photo shoots, concert films etc etc. So every Swiftie that was so sure Rep TV was ready to go and she's been hinting it for years...

HomoMonsteriens 91 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I have zero knowledge on how master ownership works and haven’t been following the whole TS master reclaiming issue. I'm just curious: so normally masters belong to the music label right? Like, do all of Lady Gaga's masters, including movie soundtracks and albums belong to interscope? As long as there’s no dispute or disagreement between them, they'll stay that way right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there’s no dispute or disagreement between them, they'll stay that way right? Depends really. Almost always studio albums written on that first label contract will have the masters owned by the Record Label - because the label essentially paid for them to be created. Later contracts can change this relationship but its really artist dependent and often influenced by their profitability. Independent acts typically own their masters as they're usually self funding. As for movie scores etc it will totally depend on the contract for the film production. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Lovers 6,819 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 3 hours ago, Teletubby said: She scammed her fans with these TVs all Swifties who can now stop listening to these butchered versions: She didn’t scam anybody. The only reason she was able to do this is because she started the recording process. The existence of the re-recorded albums, devalued the original catalog so much that they’re now selling it to her for hundreds of millions of dollars less than it was worth just five years ago. Without the Taylor’s versions coming out and being so successful, she would not have had this opportunity. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Lovers 6,819 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 1 hour ago, LOVEDRUG said: 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. She said that we’ll still get to hear the fruits of all the completed labor. She isn’t abandoning it entirely she just at the moment isn’t going to do Rep proper (but seems to still want to do it’s vault). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re implying the re-records were a scam, then you may be delighted to know that she was only able to do this BECAUSE she started the re-records. Had she not done them, this would not have happened. She devalued the original masters to the point that they sold them to her under favorable conditions rather than the damn near extortion they demanded for them originally. I know you hate her (and I don’t really get it), but this whole “scammer” **** is so tired. Just learn the actual story and stop throwing needless shade at someone you don’t like. It’s so boring at this point. 2 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elohim 1,687 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 You can hate her or love her, but tbh she’s such a boss for the whole process, from publicly shaming Scooter, to re-recording her own albums than buy her originals for much less cause she devalued them. when this girl is on a revenge quest, she just know how to play. 2 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never believed or trusted her with these “re-recordings.” Wasn’t the goal the whole time to bring down value of the OG masters? Then buy them? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She took matters into her own hands by putting in the work. And not only that, but she gave freshness to each era by releasing previously unreleased material. Every artist should have the right to own their own work outright. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlittlemonster 1,424 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 3 hours ago, HelloHangoverz said: A marketing strategy methinks. There's no way she's not re-releasing those two albums even if she now owns her masters If she releases them, the originals lose their value Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
