Taylor’s album, which was first released in 2008 by the Nashville label Big Machine, became a breakthrough outside of country music and won four Grammy Awards. The album sold more than 10 million copies in the United States. Like most artists, the singer did not have control over the rights to her recordings, which belonged to the label. However, Taylor held some ownership, along with her songwriting collaborators, of the separate rights for her songs’ compositions, known as publishing.
