Taylor Swift has shared that she bought all her master recordings back. In a letter to her fans, she shared that all of the music she has ever made now belongs to her. She wrote, “To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it. To my fans, you know how important this has been to me – so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released 4 of my albums, calling them Taylor’s Version. The passionate support you showed those albums and the success story you turned The Eras Tour into is why I was able to buy back my music. I can’t thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but have never owned until now.
John Legend kicked off his Get Lifted 20th Anniversary World Tour European leg this week in Glasgow, UK and will visit over 40 cities across the UK and Europe. The tour will kick off in the U.S. on August 23 in Highland Park, IL and will make stops at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and Barclays Center in New York. Backed by his full band, John’s tour will showcase a set list celebrating the entirety of his debut album, Get Lifted. Each night, he will deliver a mix of deep cuts, fan favorites and fresh renditions of the album’s beloved tracks like “Ordinary People, “Number One” and “So High.” The show will also feature his other career-spanning hits. ET sat down with John to reflect on his life and career, including moments like his Get Lifted album release party, when he won his first Grammy Awards, his first major acting role, when he won an Oscar, when he achieved EGOT status and more. John told ET, “Longevity is not easy to come by in this industry and I’m grateful for it. I’m grateful that people still want to hear what I have to say, I’m grateful that I still have something to say. I’m working on a new album, I feel so creative and so inspired and hopefully I’ll just keep having that feeling and keep wanting to create something new, keep pushing myself, keep challenging myself.” For more ticket information, visit johnlegend.com.
