Sheryl Crow is a music industry veteran with 40 years as a professional musician and nine Grammy Awards to her name, but she was still inspired by how Swift took control of her catalogue.
But Sheryl Crow's veteran status in the music industry — resulting in 50 million albums sold and nine Grammy Awards — didn't stop her from appreciating how Taylor Swift has attempted to take control of her recordings from early in her career.
She was referring to Swift's courageous decision to re-record her first six studio albums in a move to completely own her own music, which also doubled as a form of protest. After learning of the sale, Swift stated she had tried to buy her masters, but Big Machine had allegedly only offered her unfavorable conditions, presumably to keep her from jumping to a bigger label.
Swift says the decision to re-record her first six albums felt like she was 'regaining a freedom and taking back what's mine' Dubbed Taylor's Version, the project kicked off with the rerelease of Taylor's second album, Fearless, in April 2021, that was followed up by a new version of her mega-selling Red in November of that year.The run of re-releases was particularly impressive, as Swift also released four new studio albums during that time period: Lover , Folklore , Evermore and Midnights , with a fifth, The Tortured Poets Department, set to be released on April 19.
Swift's net worth is estimated by Forbes and Bloomberg News to be a whopping $1.1 billion as of October 2023, making her the first musician to achieve billionaire status 'solely based on her songs and performances.' Following the release of Threads, Crow had planned for it to be her last, which could be a reaction to the fact that modern artists tend to sell significantly fewer albums compared to decades past due to file sharing, while streaming is far less lucrative for performers.
