Aug. 22, 2019: Taylor Swift Announces Plans to Rerecord Her First 5 Albums

Once the initial controversy had died down, Taylor announced her plans to rerecord her first five albums in an attempt to regain her masters. "Yeah that's true, and it's something I'm very excited about," she told Robin Roberts during Good Morning America. "My contract says starting from November 2020, I can start rerecording albums one through five. I think artists deserve to own their own work. It's next year — I'm gonna be busy."

During a sit-down interview with CBS This Morning on Aug. 25, Taylor also spoke out about Scott's choice to sell her masters to Scooter, saying, "I knew he would sell my music, I knew he would do that. I couldn't believe who he sold it to. Because we've had endless conversations about Scooter Braun, and he has 300 million reasons to conveniently forget those conversations."
