Taylor Swift made headlines in 2025 when news broke that she had finally succeeded in purchasing the master recordings of all her past albums. But… Why didn’t she own them in the first place? And what’s with all the re-recordings and ‘(Taylor’s Version)’ stuff? How are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West connected to all this? And what, or who, is a ‘Scooter Braun’? Gisten in as Rosie gives you Just The Gist of the whole situation.

We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there’s this:
