Taylor Swift became emotional as she explained how her brother, Austin Swift, and mom, Andrea Swift, helped her buy her master recordings back from her first six studio albums, and what it was like when she got the call that they were going to be hers.

Taylor Swift shared why her mom Andrea Swift and brother Austin Swift were instrumental in her successful purchase of her first six albums after years of fighting for control of her masters.
Rather than send lawyers or management in a big crew, I sent my mom and my brother, who I work with, to L.A.,” Taylor told Travis and his brother Jason Kelce, growing emotional. “They told [Shamrock] the whole story of all the times we’ve tried to buy it, all the times it’s fallen through, all the times we had gotten plans together and figured out something we thought was gonna work and then it didn’t at the last minute.”
But shortly thereafter, the 35-year-old—whose masters were purchased by Scooter Braun’s Ithica Holdings LLC in 2019 before being acquired by Shamrock the following year—finally received the news she’d been waiting years for.
