Taylor Swift is currently signed to Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group, which she joined in November 2018. This marked a significant change in her career after spending over a decade with Big Machine Records.

Before joining Republic Records, Swift released her first six studio albums through Big Machine Records, where she began her career in 2005. Her albums with Big Machine included "Taylor Swift," "Fearless," "Speak Now," "Red," "1989," and "reputation."

The switch to Republic Records came with a groundbreaking deal that allowed Swift to own all master recordings of her music created under the new contract. This was particularly important to Swift after her widely publicized dispute over the ownership of her master recordings from her Big Machine catalog.

Since joining Republic Records, Swift has released several highly successful albums including:

"Lover" (2019)
"folklore" (2020)
"evermore" (2020)
"Midnights" (2022)
"Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" (2023)
"1989 (Taylor's Version)" (2023)

With Republic Records, Swift has achieved unprecedented success, including multiple Grammy Awards and record-breaking chart performances. The label has supported her initiative to re-record her earlier albums, known as "Taylor's Version," which allows her to regain control of her musical catalog.

This partnership with Republic Records represents a new era in Swift's career, characterized by complete artistic and creative control over her music. The deal also allows her to maintain ownership of her master recordings, which was a crucial factor in her decision to sign with the label.
