The music world is throwing up its collective fist in solidarity with singer-songwriter Taylor Swift on her recent move to emancipate her back catalogue. For those not Squad-adjacent, the music rights to Swift’s first five albums were sold out from under her by her former label, seeing the singer decide that now would be a good time to just go back and re-record all those earlier records in their entirety (complete with bonus tracks and the benefit of years of getting even better), thus reclaiming her songs from corporate skullduggery. It’s an an act guaranteed to delight longtime fans while leaving the money men fuming. That’s what you call a two-fer.
