You might wonder how Taylor can re-release the same music, same song titles, and not get sued by the people who own her masters. Well, here's where music industry standards get really interesting. Typically, every song recorded by an artist signed with a label in the U.S. anyway has two copyrights.

The master recording, which is the aspect we've been talking about, and then there's a second copyright, the composition, which covers lyrics and music.

Taylor has been teasing this for a hot minute now, and as of late last month, the first Taylor's version of a song off the Reputation album was included in a Handmaid's Tale episode.

She wrote to her fans a play on her own lyrics in a very Taylor way. She said, quote, I can't thank you enough for helping me reunite with this art that I have dedicated my life to but have never owned until now.

The price was not disclosed, but sources told The New York Times that she paid close to what Shamrock had initially paid Braun.
