Travis Kelce isn’t the only Kansas City Chiefs player to react to Taylor Swift’s big announcement on Friday that she now owns the masters of her first six albums, “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989” and “Reputation.”
Those records were recorded pre-2017 when Swift was signed to Big Machine Records, but she lost ownership of them when Ithaca Holdings purchased Big Machine in 2019 in a deal spearheaded by Scooter Braun, who later sold Swift’s masters to Shamrock Capital.
Swift and Braun were engaged in a public feud over her original musical catalog, which led to Swift re-recording her first albums and re-releasing them as “Taylor’s Version,” but now the 14-time Grammy winner confirmed in a post on her personal website that she owns every single song she’s ever recorded.
“I’ve been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening,” Swift wrote in a letter shared on her website. “I really get to say these words: All of the music I’ve ever made… now belongs… to me.”

Kelce, Swift’s boyfriend of over a year-and-eight-months, liked her post on Instagram announcing the big news.
His teammate Patrick Mahomes, who is also a close friend of Swift’s and has spent lots of quality time with the couple along with his wife Brittany, also reacted to the news on X by retweeting a Pop Base post on X announcing Swift once again owned her masters.
Mahomes has been a big advocate of Swift ingratiating herself into NFL circles, and he’s supported her attending as many Chiefs games as possible. He’s also on record stating Swift is 100% a part of the Chiefs’ family.
In fact, a little over two weeks ago Swift donated a signed guitar to Mahomes to auction off at his 15 and the Mahomes Foundation charity event. The guitar fetched a hefty $15,000.
