It's no longer a tradable asset to anyone but Taylor Swift herself. And I think it's safe to say that her catalog is no longer for sale.

There's definitely precedent for it. You know, artists have gone back and reacquired their rights. Jay-Z, Rihanna, you know, a few others have gone back and gone through the process of purchasing their own works. But she's kind of trying to set a template for other artists going forward to make sure that in the deals they sign, they have the opportunity to reacquire control of their own work.

But that Reputation is going to take a while because it's the one she feels the least need to retool. So the way she put it is. is that those new versions are still going to come out, but there'll be a celebration instead of a bittersweet reclamation.
