Current Record Label
Taylor Swift is currently signed to Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group. She moved to Republic after completing her previous contract with Big Machine Records.
Previous Label and Ownership
Swift was previously signed to Big Machine Records, where she released albums from 2006 to 2017. In 2019, Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings acquired Big Machine, including the masters of her early albums.
Why the Label Matters
The label controls distribution, marketing, and licensing for Swift's music. After her masters dispute, Swift began re-recording her early albums to own the new versions. This strategy has reshaped industry conversations about artist rights and catalog ownership.
