Read our privacy policy Just two weeks after Taylor Swift condemned her former record label Big Machine for selling her back-catalogue to a powerful industry figure she described as a “manipulative bully”, the label will re-release five of her old singles on a limited-edition vinyl. In celebration of the 13th anniversary of Swift’s self-titled debut album, Big Machine will release a number of the album’s singles, including “Tim McGraw” and “Teardrops on My Guitar”, on limited-edition sea glass vinyl this August. On 30 June, Swift announced in a Tumblr post that she felt “sad and grossed out” that she was not given a chance to buy the master recordings of her back-catalogue, with Big Machine selling their label and Swift’s catalogue to music mogul Scooter Braun for a reported $300 million. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums.” “Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world,” she continued.
