Taylor Swift has bought back the rights to her first six albums, ending a long-running battle over the ownership of her music. "All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me," said the star, announcing the news on her official website.

Swift had already recorded Fearless (Taylor's Version), Speak Now (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version) and 1989 (Taylor's Version), with just Reputation and her debut album Taylor Swift waiting for the re-record treatment.

Back in 2005, Swift—who was 15 at the time—signed her first record deal with Big Machine Records, a Nashville-based label co-founded by Scott Borchetta. Like most artists, Swift had to sign away the rights to her master recordings, a standard part of music industry deals.
