In a letter posted on her website on Friday, Swift announced that she had bought the masters, or original recordings, of her first six albums from Shamrock Capital nearly six years after her former record label, Big Machine Records, sold them to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings in what she described at the time as her “worst case scenario.”

Swift finally bought the full rights to her music. But there’s still a point to her project of rerecording albums — at least to her die-hards.
