<p>It has been over a year since Taylor Swift expressed her disgust with the masters to her early albums being sold to Scooter Braun&comma; and it looks like the battle might not be over&period; We&&num;8217&semi;ve previously reported about Taylor calling Scooter out for being a &&num;8220&semi;bully&&num;8221&semi;

videos and album art &&num;8220&semi;for many years&period;&&num;8221&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Nevertheless&comma; Taylor says that she has begun re-recording her old music&comma; and remains hopeful that she can create a partnership with Shamrock and stay connected to the work she cherishes so much&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&&num;8220&semi;I want to thank you guys for supporting me through this ongoing saga&comma;
