Taylor Swift is currently signed to Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group, since November 2018. This marked a significant change in her career after leaving her longtime label Big Machine Records, where she had been since the beginning of her career in 2005.

At Republic Records, Swift has released several highly successful albums including "Lover" (2019), "folklore" (2020), "evermore" (2020), and her re-recorded albums "Fearless (Taylor's Version)" and "Red (Taylor's Version)" (both 2021), "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" and "1989 (Taylor's Version)" (both 2023).

The switch to Republic Records was particularly notable because it gave Swift ownership of her master recordings for all new music created under the label. This was a key factor in her decision to change labels, following a highly publicized dispute over the ownership of her original master recordings at Big Machine Records.

Her deal with Republic Records allows her to: - Own all her master recordings - Maintain control over her artistic direction - Have more favorable terms regarding streaming and digital rights - Retain greater control over her music licensing

Before Republic Records, Swift's label history included: - Big Machine Records (2005-2018) - RCA Records (Brief development deal in 2004, never officially signed)

This information is current as of 2024, and Swift continues to release both new music and re-recorded versions of her earlier albums through Republic Records. The partnership has proven extremely successful, with multiple record-breaking releases and Grammy nominations under this label.
