<p><em><strong>&ldquo;It All Belongs to Me Now&rdquo; &mdash; Taylor Swift&rsquo;s Triumphant Announcement Shakes the Streaming World</strong></em></p>
<p>On May 30, Taylor Swift announced that she bought the rights to her first six albums. This means she now fully owns the music that made her a global star. She shared, &ldquo;All of the music I&rsquo;ve ever made&hellip; now belongs&hellip; to me.&rdquo; This heartfelt message marked an important moment for her.</p>
<p><strong>Streaming Surge After the Announcement</strong></p>
<p>Following her announcement, streams of Swift&rsquo;s older albums shot up. Spotify reported that the streams for these six albums doubled compared to their daily averages in April and May. The biggest winner was &ldquo;Speak Now,&rdquo; which saw a 430% increase in global streams. Fans may have been drawn to it due to a specific lyric change. In her re-release, Swift changed the line &ldquo;she&rsquo;s better known for the things she does on the mattress&rdquo; in &ldquo;Better Than Revenge.&rdquo;</p>

<p><strong>Looking Ahead: Two Albums Remain</strong></p>
<p>Four of the six albums have already been re-released. Fans are now waiting for &ldquo;Taylor&rsquo;s Versions&rdquo; of "Reputation" and "Taylor Swift" (2006). With the original masters back in her control, the plans for these albums are still unclear. Swift mentioned she has re-recorded &ldquo;less than a quarter&rdquo; of "Reputation" but confirmed that her debut album&rsquo;s re-recording is complete.</p>
<p><strong>She also hinted at future possibilities:</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;Those two albums can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right... If it happens, it won&rsquo;t be from sadness and longing. It will just be a celebration now.&rdquo;</p>
<p><strong>A Win for Creative Ownership</strong></p>
<p>This story is not just about streaming numbers or fan loyalty. It represents a significant moment in music history, an artist taking back what is hers with the support of her fans. Taylor Swift shows that artists can regain power when they focus on their purpose and passion.</p>
