Taylor Swift's Attorney Says Singer Never Had a Chance to 'Outright' Buy Back Her Masters From Big Machine

Taylor Swift's attorney says the pop star never had a chance to 'outright' buy back her masters from Big Machine

Taylor Swift attends the 2019 Billboard Music Awards on May 1, 2019 in Las Vegas.

The two parties could never come to terms and in November, Swift left BMLG for a global deal with Universal Music Group. However, the masters for her first six albums remain with BMLG and are now owned by Ithaca Holdings.
