The singer became emotional during her appearance in the podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce.
It was a real milestone when Taylor Swift announced in May this year that she now had complete control over her music again. For years she had fought to get the rights of her master’s shots back after they were sold to Scooter Braun and Shamrock Holdings in 2019. In the “New Heights” podcast, the singer now looked back on the moment she was told that she was back in possession of her recordings.

A year -long fight
In the podcast, Taylor Swift said on the side of Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce that she had saved money as a teenager to one day buy her music back. She thought of it every day and described it as a constant, intrusive thoughts. During her story, Travis Kelce gently held her hand.
Mama Andrea as a big savior
The singer added that it was not her management that negotiated the deal with Shamrock Holdings. Instead, her mother Andrea and Brother Austin would have ensured that Swift is again in full possession of her recordings. Andrea was also the person who told the megastar the conclusion of the deal via an emotional phone call.
“She said something like” You have your music ‘and I literally went down, “said Swift. “I cried uninhibitedly, just cried.”
Travis Kelce with emotional reaction
At that time, Travis Kelce, her friend and NFL player of the Kansas City Chiefs, was in another room. He was playing video games when Swift went to him. She had intended to tell him the news and just wanted to tell him as normal. But as soon as she started to speak, her voice failed.
Taylor Swift also said that Kelce dropped the controller directly at the next moment and that she locked firmly into the arms, whereupon she collapsed “absolutely sobbing”. Travis Kelce himself also revealed that he cried at that moment. In the meantime, Swift was “like a dead weight” in his arms.
