Taylor Swift has gained control of all of her life’s work, in what she called her “greatest dream come true.” A growing fortune may have helped her realize that years-long goal.

The pop superstar announced on Friday that she had acquired the rights to her first six albums, a culmination of a lengthy battle to own her entire catalog. She didn’t disclose the terms, but the collection was most recently bought by Shamrock Capital in 2020 for about $300 million.
