Taylor Swift, the pop queen with a $1.6 billion fortune, was locked in an epic battle to reclaim her “diary pages” – her first six albums sold in 2019 to Scooter Braun via Big Machine, then flipped to Shamrock Holdings.

Five years of twists, furious re-recordings (“Taylor’s Version” for four of them), and finally, in May 2025, victory!

But not thanks to an army of lawyers: no, the superstar sent… her mom Andrea and brother Austin to the front lines to negotiate this monster $360 million deal!

It’s on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast “New Heights,” with his brother Jason, that Taylor dropped the scoop, tears in her eyes.

“They told them the whole story: all the times we tried to buy them back, when it fell through, when we had a genius plan that crashed at the last minute,” she confesses.

Andrea and Austin, loyal witnesses to this ordeal from the start, convinced Shamrock Capital after financial ties with Braun broke early 2025.

Result? A few months after the Super Bowl in Kansas City, a call from mom: “You own your music!” Taylor collapses to the floor in dramatic sobs, then bursts into Travis’s gaming session: “I got my music back!“

Why so much emotion? For Taylor, it’s not just about cash or “dividends.” “I’ve been saving since my teens to buy back my music. These are the handwritten pages of my diary, songs about every stage of my life, my photos, my videos that I funded myself. All my art is in that catalog!” she proclaims.

Today, she owns it all “in full property, no strings, no partnerships, total autonomy.” A happy ending to a saga that shook the music industry, proving family + determination = absolute power.
