'Finally': Travis Kelce reacts to Taylor Swift regaining control of her music

Travis Kelce has celebrated Taylor Swift "finally" regaining control of her music.

The 'Cruel Summer' hitmaker revealed on Friday (30.05.25) that she had regained the rights to all the songs from her early albums, ‘Taylor Swift’, ‘Fearless’, ‘Speak Now’, ‘Red’, ‘1989’ and ‘Reputation’, and her NFL player boyfriend has broken his silence on the news, offering her a "shout out" on his podcast.

In a teaser clip for Wednesday's (04.06.25) episode of 'New Heights' shared to X, Travis grinned and danced as his and brother Jason Kelce's guest, Shaquille O'Neal, played Taylor's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' on his phone speaker.

The basketball legend mouthed along with the lyrics while Jason and Travis bobbed their heads, before the Kansas City Chiefs tight end enthusiastically threw his arms into the air during the "You found me/ You found me" lyric.

Shaquille, 53, noted: “That’s my favourite song in the world, brother."

After applauding his guest, Travis said: "Shout out to Tay Tay. Just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back so it’s finally hers, man, I appreciate that, dog. Love you big dog.”

Taylor was furious in 2019 when music manager Scooter Braun bought her former label, Big Machine Records, and her master recordings, which he then sold on to Shamrock Capital in 2020, prompting her to re-record and release 'Taylor's Versions' of 'Fearless', 'Speak Now', 'Red', and '1999'.

But on Friday, the 35-year-old pop star shared with fans the news she had reaquired the rights to her records.

She shared in an emotional post on her website Taylorswift.com: “I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis close , reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled then yanked away. But that's all in the past now.

“I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me. And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work."

Taylor went on to add that buying back the rights was her “greatest dream come true” and she praised those at investment firm Shamrock Capital for offering her the opportunity.
