Taylor Swift confirms re-registration plans on "CBS Sunday Morning" – Deadline

Taylor Swift's controversial efforts against the scooter to re-record her old music are apparently on the right track, at least according to intentions. In an interview on CBS Sunday morning this weekend, Swift confirms the plan to correspondent Tracy Smith.

Smith asks Swift if she re-records her previous songs as a way to regain control of the master recordings.

"Can you do that?" Smith asks.

"Oh yes," Swift said.

"It's a plan?" Asks Smith.

"Yes, absolutely," says Swift.

The extract was published by CBS Sunday morning this afternoon.

In case you'd forget it, the musical superstar plan was launched earlier this summer, when she learned that the original masters of her old recordings had been acquired by Scooter Braun, a tycoon of the music and talent agent with whom Swift had a conflictual relationship.

When Swift learned that its masters, among many other artists, had been acquired by Braun as part of a $ 300 million contract with Scott Borchetta's Big Machine Label group, Swift turned to the media social.

"All I could think of was the incessant and manipulative intimidation I had been going through for years," she wrote. Determined to regain control of her music, she decided to re-record the songs – how much she did not specify – which would allow her to keep the new masters.

The beef made even more headlines when Justin Bieber put his nose in, publicly reprimanding Swift for insulting his buddy Braun. "Scooter has been supporting you since the days when you let me gracefully open it for you!" He wrote. "Over the years, we have not crossed paths and failed to communicate our differences, our wounds and our frustrations. It is unfair that you use social media to incite people to hate Scooter. "

Swift said that she had been bullied online by Braun, Bieber and Kanye West.

CBS Sunday morning explains Swift, who discusses controversy and other topics – "his compositional process, grew up in the industry, addressing his music foes, his insecurities, his life today" – when an in-depth interview at home and in the studio. The segment also goes backstage while Swift is working on a new video clip for a new song.

CBS Sunday morning, produced by Rand Morrison, airs Sunday, from 9:10 to 10:30, on CBS.
