(He sold the masters for $300 million to Shamrock Holdings in November 2020.) Swift then declined to work with the private equity company after they reached out following the purchase since Braun's Ithaca Holdings would still profit off her old music for "many years." Red (Taylor's Version) is out on Friday.
