OlderTaylor Swift Joins Forces With First Female-Led Major Music Publishing Company
Taylor Swift has moved over to Universal Music Publishing Group.
The “ME!” crooner has signed a global agreement with the music publisher under a new pact, she revealed on Instagram on Thursday (February 6).
“I’m proud to extend my partnership with Lucian Grainge and the Universal Music family by signing with Universal Music Publishing Group, and for the opportunity to work with Jody Gerson, the first woman to run a major music publishing company,” Taylor captioned the slideshow below.
“Jody is an advocate for women’s empowerment and one of the most-respected and accomplished industry leaders,” Taylor added. “Troy Tomlinson has been an amazing part of my team for over half my life and a passionate torchbearer for songwriters. It’s an honor to get to work with such an incredible team, especially when it comes to my favorite thing in the world: songwriting. 🎶😄 & swipe photos to see one of my other fav things: a fluffy floofy cat.”
A press release says the deal is a “multi-year, multi-album agreement,” and a source told Billboard that UMPG will “eventually represent her entire catalog.”
