Evidently, starting next year, Swift will have the legal right to do something harmful to the owners of Big Machine Records- rerecord her old songs. The owners of that company currently have the legal right to prevent her from playing her old songs. There are many artists who I think have been exploited by the executives of their industry, but Taylor Swift isn't one of them. I expect that she was generously compensated for giving up ownership of those songs. If she wants to change the terms of that deal, the other parties have offered to negotiate.

Presumably she had a lot less power early in her career when she originally recorded those albums.
