From A Broken Heart to Breaking Records, Meet the Real Taylor Swift!
Triumph Over Adversity
Taylor felt devastated after Scooter Braun and Ithaca Holdings took ownership of her first six albums. In a 2023 Time interview, she recalled the sense of defeat. However, she quickly bounced back with determination. Inspired by friend Kelly Clarkson’s advice, Taylor re-recorded her original albums, leading to her now-famous re-releases.
“Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” came out in April 2021. Though its first-week sales didn’t surpass the original, this version was entirely hers. Her success continued. In May 2021, she became the first woman to win the BRIT Awards’ “Global Icon” title, also being the youngest and first non-English artist to receive this honor.
