Taylor Swift signed a songwriting deal with Universal Music Publishing leaving Sony/ATV, the company that signed her at 14.
This new deal allows her songwriting and recording to be housed in similar divisions. Universal Music Publishing is a section of Universal Music Group.
Taylor Swift explains,“I’m proud to extend my partnership with Lucian Grainge and the Universal Music family by signing with UMPG, and for the opportunity to work with Jody Gerson, the first woman to run a major music publishing company. Jody is an advocate for women’s empowerment and one of the most respected and accomplished industry leaders.”
