Taylor Swift is currently signed with Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group (UMG), after signing with them in November 2018. This marked a significant change in her career, as she had previously been with Big Machine Records since the beginning of her professional music journey.

During her time with Big Machine Records (2005-2018), Swift released six studio albums, including her self-titled debut album, "Fearless," "Speak Now," "Red," "1989," and "Reputation." However, the relationship with Big Machine ended when her contract expired, leading to her high-profile move to Republic Records.

The switch to Republic Records came with notable benefits for Swift. Under her new deal, she secured ownership of all master recordings for any new music created after signing with the label. This was particularly important to Swift, as ownership of her musical works became a central issue following the sale of her previous label, Big Machine Records, to Scooter Braun's company in 2019.

Since joining Republic Records, Swift has released several successful albums including "Lover" (2019), "Folklore" (2020), "Evermore" (2020), and "Midnights" (2022). She has also released re-recorded versions of her earlier albums, branded as "Taylor's Version," including "Fearless" and "Red."

The partnership with Republic Records has proven highly successful for both parties. Swift has maintained her commercial success while gaining greater control over her artistic output and master recordings. The label has supported her vision for re-recording her earlier albums and has backed her various creative projects.

Today, Republic Records continues to be Taylor Swift's current record label, marking one of the most successful artist-label partnerships in contemporary music history.
