Taylor Swift just hit a huge milestone in her music career—and her best friend Selena Gomez couldn’t be prouder. Selena recently posted on Instagram to support Taylor, calling her move “so proud-worthy.”
What’s the big deal? Taylor finally owns the masters of her first six albums, something she’s been fighting for over the last few years.
Taylor announced the news in a cheerful Instagram post. She shared photos of herself sitting on the floor with copies of her early albums, smiling in a purple top and classic red lipstick. The caption? A simple, playful nod to her 2008 hit: “You belong with me.”
This moment has been a long time coming. Nearly six years ago, Taylor’s original music catalog was sold to Scooter Braun without her permission.
The drama didn’t stop there—Braun sold the rights again, this time to Shamrock Capital. Not one to sit back, Taylor started re-recording her albums under “Taylor’s Version” to regain control.
Now, with full ownership of her early work, Taylor’s celebration feels personal—and powerful. And with Selena right by her side, it’s clear that this win is about more than just music. It’s about artists taking back what’s theirs, and friendship that lasts through it all.
