I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening.”

“I really get to say these. words: All of the music I've ever made... now, And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. belongs... to me. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era, My entire life's work," she happily added.

About Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun's feud

Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun's feud began six years ago when the music manager purchased Big Machine Records from Scott Borchetta, a sale that included the masters of singer's first six albums.

This led to a complicated war between the Gorgeous singer and her former record label.

In response, Swift re-recorded her early albums, releasing Fearless (Taylor’s Version), Red (Taylor’s Version), Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), and 1989 (Taylor’s Version).
