I really get to say these words: All of the music I’ve ever made… now belongs… to me,&quot; she wrote.The singer went on: &quot;And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life’s work. To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it.&quot;<iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-52" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKSF56YueNv/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A52%2C%22os%22%3A6148263.799999952%2C%22ls%22%3A155003.19999992847%2C%22le%22%3A155479.29999995232%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="548" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-52" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>Taylor extended her gratitude to her fans for the support they gave The Eras Tour which paved the way for her to purchase the masters of her first six albums.&quot;To my fans, you know how important this has been to me — so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released four of my albums, calling them Taylor’s Version. The passionate support you showed those albums and the success story you turned The Eras Tour into is why I was able to buy back my music,&quot; she stated. &quot;I can’t thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but have never owned until now,&quot; she stated.Taylor then thanked Shamrock Capital for offering to her the chance to purchase her masters. &quot;All I&#x27;ve ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy. I will be forever grateful to everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me,&quot; she shared.&quot;The way they’ve handled every interaction we’ve had has been honest, fair, and respectful. This was a business deal to them, but I really felt like they saw it for what it was to me: My memories and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams. I am endlessly thankful. My first tattoo might just be a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead,&quot; she added.
