Taylor Swift's music catalog gets sold again

Worldwide popstar Taylor Swift, yet again faced another debacle in earning the recording rights of her first 6 studio albums after being sold the second time around by Scooter Braun.


The clash between Swift and Braun roamed the web for months back then after the music manager bought the recording label Swift have signed with since her teenage career debut in about an estimation of $300- $350 million.


Last Monday, Swift found out that her music catalogs was sold to Shamrock Capital, an investment firm founded by Walt Disney's nephew, Roy E. Disney, without her knowledge.


According to a note she posted via Twitter, she was handed the chance to be 'partners' with the company but she renounced after knowing that Braun's deal with Disney still permits him to earn from her masterpieces.


"As soon as we started communication with Shamrock, I learned that under their terms Scooter Braun will continue to profit off my old musical catalog for many years" she wrote in twitter.


Taylor admitted in the same post that she was hopeful at first and was open to have a partnership with Shamrock but Scooter's involvement became a 'not-starter' for her.


Braun was first to purchase Swift's masters and known as the manager of her long-standing rival, Kanye West.


The popstar claimed that she has never been a fan of the music excecutive— even having mastered the careers of Justin Beiber, Ariana Grande and among others, and considered the plot her "worst case scenario".


Her first 6 albums produced some of her world renowed megahits such as; "Shake it off", "Love Story", "Blank Space", "We are never getting back together" and more of her chart-topping masterpieces.
