To celebrate the release of Taylor Swift’s new six-episode docuseries, The End of an Era, and her concert film, Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show, Apple Music has delivered an unprecedented listening experience: for the first time, all six of the global pop star’s seminal albums—Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation—are now available in immersive Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos. This monumental addition completes Swift’s entire standard catalog on Apple Music in the revolutionary format, which allows sound to move all around the listener, offering a deeper and more connection to the music.
This news arrives on the heels of the monumental triumph announced in May: Swift successfully acquired her entire original Big Machine master recordings from private equity firm Shamrock Capital. This long-awaited victory marked the culmination of a years-long, highly public battle for artistic ownership that saw Swift meticulously re-recording four of the six albums in dispute, and delivering a resounding message about artist empowerment in the digital age. Having already been crowned a billionaire by Bloomberg due to the massive success of her Eras Tour and album re-records, and named the first and only female artist in history to surpass 100 million RIAA-certified album units, the availability of these original records in Spatial Audio is the perfect way to cap off an era of unprecedented success and artistic autonomy.
