She’s having “The Best Day.” Taylor Swift celebrated her recent win after she bought back her master recordings with producer Jack Antonoff in the most fitting way on Friday. In a brief clip
shared by Antonoff on X, Swift held onto her cat Meredith as she sang along with him to her song “Getaway Car,” which was featured on her 2017 album, “Reputation.” “Rep forever guilt free
listening!” Antonoff, 41, captioned the post. The singer and her longtime pal were jumping around a kitchen together as they sang the hit tune. EXPLORE MORE It seems fitting the pair had a
jam session to Swift’s sixth studio album as Swiftie speculation recently hit a high over whether the singer would release her re-recorded version of the project soon. Fans sounded off under
the post also basking in the friends’ shared joy. “This has such a different meaning now,” one Swiftie wrote. Meanwhile another clearly excited social media user added: “I AM SOBBING SO
HARD RN.” “So happy you’re both celebrating the best ! 💰🔑🚗 Such a gem!” wrote a third netizen under the post. Swift announced that she had gone through with purchasing her previously
recorded hits on Friday in an open letter shared on her website after Page Six exclusively reported there was a chance she could buy back the music collection. “I’m trying to gather my
thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow,” she began her note, which was formatted like a handwritten letter. “A flashback sequence of all the time I
daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through.” WANT MORE

billionaire last year, reportedly paid a jaw-dropping amount to buy back her master recordings. Sources told Billboard Friday that Shamrock Capital sold Swift’s catalog to her for around
$360 million, which is relatively close to what the private equity firm paid for it in 2020. Retired music manager Scooter Braun bought the rights to Swift’s first six albums — “Taylor
Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989” and “Reputation” — in 2019 when his company Ithica Holdings acquired her former label Big Machine Records. The following year, he sold her
masters to Shamrock, prompting a widely publicized feud between Braun and the pop star who called him a “bully” for stripping “me of my life’s work.” The Grammy winner, 35, began
re-recording and re-releasing her albums previously released with Big Machine Records starting with her “Fearless” album in 2021. She followed it up with “Red,” “Speak Now” and “1989.” The
“Look What You Made Me Do” hitmaker set the record straight in her Friday letter on the rumored “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” album, admitting she hasn’t “even re-recorded a quarter of
it.” “To be perfectly honest, it’s the one album in those first 6 that I thought couldn’t be improved upon by redoing it […] so I kept putting it off,” she wrote. However, Swift revealed she
did re-record her debut album, “Taylor Swift,” and she “really [loves] how it sounds now.” Though, it’s unclear if the new version will ever be released.
