Taylor Swift is an iconic pop figure with plenty of albums under her name today, and the list of albums keeps growing. It can be hard to keep track of the many album releases that Taylor Swift has had over the years of her extensive career, which is why we’re here to help you out.
Below, we give you some information about Taylor Swift’s albums and details about when these albums were released in chronological order.
Pop Icon Taylor Swift
Starting her musical career at just 14 years old, Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989. Swift was signed to Big Machine Records for the first part of her career, with branding and songs that aligned with the country music genre.
Since her career grew and she left Big Machine Records to sign with Republic Records, the albums that Taylor Swift has released vary in genre. However, Swift’s popularity remains, and the artist has sold over 200 million records globally.
Taylor Swift is notable as one of the best-selling artists of all time. She’s one of the most streamed female artists on Spotify, and the only artist to have five albums all sell over a million copies in the United States.
Swift has received numerous awards and recognition for her works and her prolific songwriting, and fans across the globe are enamored with the superstar and her works.
How Many Albums Has Taylor Swift Released?
To date, Taylor Swift has released ten studio albums, four live albums, and three re-recorded albums. Another re-recorded album is on the way and set to be released by the end of 2023. Swift no doubt has plenty more albums in planning, based on her already prolific songwriting career.
What Are the Taylor Swift Re-Recordings?
The re-recording that Taylor Swift is currently releasing is a result of a dispute with her former recording company, Big Machine Records, over material originally recorded with them.
Swift attempted to purchase the masters of these recordings to use as she wished. However, Big Machine Records refused, stating that she would need to provide them with a new album for every album of masters purchased. Taylor refused and began the process of re-recording her original works under her new label.
By re-recording her original work, Swift has more say over how the songs are used. Swift can receive royalties for the original songs created under Big Machine Records, instead of having her old record company mismanage her works and keep royalties from her.
