Travis Kelce had a perfect boyfriend moment when Taylor Swift found out that she got her master recordings back

For Taylor Swift, this summer was a monumental moment in her career, having finally regained control over her masters after a long battle.

“One of my favorite things this summer was Taylor reclaiming her masters; her recording of her first six albums finally became hers,” Travis explained during the Aug. 13 episode of New Heights. 

This saga all began when the singer was 15 years old, having signed her first record deal. However, with that deal, she never actually owned her music, which is common in the music industry, as Swift explained. Her music has been sold a few times, with the first time having "really ripped my heart out of my chest." And because of that, she decided to rerecord her music as a way of standing up and being able to own it.

"I thought about not owning my music every day. It was like an intrusive thought that I had every day," Swift said. "So, we do the Eras Tour, and after the Eras Tour, I had a meeting with my team, and we decided this might be a good time to approach the current owners of it.

When she did this, the current owners were Shamrock Capital, which she described as "above board people," who had "been very friendly to us."

"What I was looking to do, though, was I wanted to buy my music outright. I don't want to be in a partnership; I don't want to own 30% of it. I want to own all of it," she continued. "But it was a long shot to think that they would do that. That they would sell that asset to me."

Swift went on to describe herself as in the "business of human emotion," and because of that, she opted to send her mother, Andrea Swift, and her brother, Austin Swift, to meet with Shamrock Capital instead of lawyers or business managers.

"I wanted it because these are my handwritten diary entries from my whole life. These are the songs I wrote about every phase of my life. This is my photography, my music videos, most of which I funded, and my artwork. Everything I've ever done is in this catalog."

Swift had to take a moment as she was talking about all of this, getting emotional as Kelce rubbed her back and kissed her head in support.

"They sat down with Shamrock Capital, and they told them what this meant for me. They told them the whole story of all the times we've tried to buy it, all the times it's fallen through, all the times we had gotten plans together and figured out something we thought was going to work and it didn't at the last minute," Swift explained. "My mom called me afterwards and she was like, 'Look, they were wonderful. They heard us out. We have no idea which way they are going to go with this."

Swift understood that this was a huge decision for Shamrock Capital to make, and because of all that had happened in the past, she knew not to get her hopes up. However, a couple months after the Super Bowl, she received a call that changed everything.

"We're in Kansas City, and I get a call from my mom, and she's like, "We did it. You got your music,'' Swift recalled. "She was like, 'You got your music,' and I just very dramatically hit the floor for real. Like, honestly, just started balling my eyes out and just weeping."

She was able to get herself together and went to tell Travis, who was playing video games in another room in the house.

"He puts his headset down. He’s like, ‘Guys, I gotta go,’ " Swift said. "I think you thought something was wrong. I was like, ‘I got my music back,’ and then just start absolutely heaving."

"I started crying too, you know I’m a crier," Travis admitted, with Swift adding, "You were weeping."

"Oh yeah, that’s the Kelce way," Jason agreed.

"I was just so happy for you because I've seen how you make music, how you make these videos. I've seen the effort and the focus and the strategy behind just one album with The Tortured Poets Department and in 'Fortnight.' And I was just blown away that you had been doing this your entire life," Kelce continued. "And for your first six albums, you weren't given the rights to all of that, and I know what that looked like, and I know how much that burned you that you didn't have that and you didn't have your creations."

And now, by owning her master recordings, she has "complete control and power over distribution, licensing, and essentially the way your legacy is shaped." And the way Kelce was beaming as Swift spoke about this said it all.

“This changed my life," Swift said. "I think about this every day now, but instead of it being an intrusive thought that hurts me, it's, "I can't believe this happened. How lucky am I? How grateful am I?'"
